Il Est Là
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Il Est Là (English translation: "He's There") was the second French entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1956 (the only occasion on which Contest rules allowed two entries per country), performed in French by Dany Dauberson.
The song was performed twelfth on the night (following Germany's Freddy Quinn with So Geht Das Jede Nacht and preceding Luxembourg's Michèle Arnaud with Les Amants De Minuit). As the scoreboard for this Contest has never been made public, it is impossible to say how well the song did.
Lyrically, the song is in the chanson style popular at the early Contests, with Dauberson singing about the difficulties she has in trying to forget a former lover.
It was succeeded as French representative at the 1957 Contest by Paule Desjardins with La Belle Amour.
