From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Un Premier Amour (English translation: "A First Love") was the winning song of the Eurovision Song Contest 1962, sung in French by Isabelle Aubret representing France.
The song was performed ninth on the night (following the Netherlands' De Spelbrekers with Katinka and preceding Norway's Inger Jacobsen with Kom Sol, Kom Regn). At the close of voting, it had received 26 points, placing 1st in a field of 16.

The song is a typically dramatic ballad, with Aubret singing about the power that a first love has over people.

It was succeeded as French representative at the 1963 Contest by Alain Barrière with Elle Était Si Jolie.
