Une Chanson C'Est Une Lettre (English translation: "A Song Is A Letter") was the Monegasque representative in the Eurovision Song Contest 1975, performed in French by Sophie.
The song is a ballad, in which Sophie explains that one can say things in song or poetry that one ordinarily could not in real life. The classic example of this is the phrase "I love you", which prompts the comment that "Love on stage doesn't match love/In real life". Sophie also sings that the phrase "Let's both leave on that ship" is something she could not say in real life but finds easy to sing.
The song was performed fourteenth on the night (following Turkey's Semiha Yanki with Seninle Bir Dakika and preceding Finland's Pihasoittajat with Old Man Fiddle). At the close of voting, it had received 22 points, placing 13th in a field of 19.
It was succeeded as Monegasque representative at the 1976 Contest by Mary Christy with Toi, La Musique Et Moi.
