Fleur De Liberté
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fleur De Liberté (English translation: "Flower Of Liberty") was the Belgian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1974, performed in French by Jacques Hustin.
The song was performed eleventh on the night (following Monaco's Romuald with Celui Qui Reste Et Celui Qui S'En Va and preceding the Netherlands' Mouth & MacNeal with I See A Star). At the close of voting, it had received 10 points, placing 9th out of a field of 17.
The song is a religious-themed ballad, in which Hustin pleads with the "flower of liberty" (Jesus) to return to earth and help humanity.
It was succeeded as Belgian representative in the 1975 Contest by Ann Christy singing Gelukkig Zijn.
