Waterman (English translation: "Aquarius") was the Dutch entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1970, performed in Dutch by The Hearts Of Soul.
The song is an up-tempo number, with the singer asking a potential lover about his star sign - specifically, whether it is Aquarius like her own. She appears to receive an answer in the affirmative, as she goes on to explain that this similarity explains her attraction to him and then to liken him to the qualities embodied in the sign itself.
The song was performed first on the night (preceding Switzerland's Henri Dès with Retour). At the close of voting, it had received 7 points, placing 7th in a field of 12.
It was succeeded as Dutch representative at the 1971 Contest by Saskia & Serge with Tijd.
