"Se piangi, se ridi" (English translation: "If You Cry, If You Laugh") was the Italian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1965, performed in Italian by Bobby Solo.
The song is a love ballad, with Solo telling his lover that he feels the same way she does because of the closeness of their relationship. As he expresses it in the lyrics, "Always remember: what you do/You'll see it again in my face".
The song was performed thirteenth on the night (following Portugal's Simone de Oliveira with Sol De Inverno and preceding Denmark's Birgit Brüel with For Din Skyld). At the close of voting, it had received 15 points, placing 5th in a field of 18.
It was succeeded as Italian representative at the 1966 Contest by Domenico Modugno with "Dio, come ti amo".
