Il y aura toujours des violons

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Il y aura toujours des violons" (English: "There Will Always Be Violins") was the French entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1978, performed in French by Joël Prévost.

The song was performed sixth on the night (following Portugal's Gemini with "Dai Li Dou" and preceding Spain's José Vélez with "Bailemos un Vals"). At the close of voting it had received 119 points, coming third in a field of Twenty.

The song is is a ballad, with Prévost singing that, while many things about life can be changed (one's home, one's appearance, and so on), "there will always be violins to play love songs".

The song was succeeded as French representative at the 1979 Contest by Anne-Marie David with "Je suis l'enfant soleil".
