TIL this was a Eurovision song.
Written by the French composers André Popp and Pierre Cour, this song was originally Luxembourg's entry in the 1967 Eurovision Song Contest sung by the Greek singer Vicky Leandros. It finished in fourth place.
In 1968, French orchestral leader Paul Mauriat's instrumental version went to #1 in the US, making it the biggest ever seller of a Eurovision Song Contest song in America, and the first US chart topper by a French artist. In the UK it peaked at #12.

In today's episode of German Music in Translation we'll take a look at "Ich liebe das Leben" by Vicky Leandros. Vicky Leandros is a staple in German pop culture, comparable to maybe ABBA, and this song in particular is a classic, originally released in 1975, that every German knows and your German mom will probably know by heart. It's a song about heartbreak inspiring you to have a good cry but also to heal and stay hopeful when everything seems lost. I've linked to a cover by IUMA but you can find the original here if you want to give it a listen.
IUMA -- Ich liebe das Leben (Vicky Leandros Cover)
Your suitcase’s already waiting in the hallway
You’re leaving me
We’re looking at each other and sense
That’s how it has to be after all
You’re still standing reluctantly in the doorway
And you ask me: “What will become of you?”
Dein Koffer wartet schon im Flur
Du Iässt mich allein
Wir seh’n uns an und fühlen nur
Es muss wohl so sein
Noch stehst du zögernd in der Tür
Und fragst: „Was wird aus dir?“
No, do not worry about me
You know I love life
And even if I still cry for you sometimes
It’ll pass in time, I’m sure
Nein, sorg’ dich nicht um mich
Du weißt, ich liebe das Leben
Und weine ich manchmal noch um dich
Das geht vorüber sicherlich
What’s the worst that could happen to me?
Believe me, I love life
The carousel will keep on spinning
Even if we go our separate ways
Was kann mir schon gescheh’n?
Glaub mir, ich liebe das Leben
Das Karussell wird sich weiterdreh’n
Auch wenn wir auseinandergeh’n
Maybe we often take ourselves
Way too seriously
We’re hoping desperately for a fire
Where there’s only smoldering
Even if something like this can hurt so much
It won’t be the end of it all
Mag sein, dass man sich selber oft
Viel zu wichtig nimmt
Verzweifelt auf ein Feuer hofft
Wo es nur noch glimmt
Wenn uns so ’was auch sehr weh tun kann
Man stirbt nicht gleich daran
No, do not worry about me
You know I love life
And even if I still cry for you sometimes
It’ll pass in time, I’m sure
Nein, sorg’ dich nicht um mich
Du weißt, ich liebe das Leben
Und weine ich manchmal noch um dich
Das geht vorüber sicherlich
What’s the worst that could happen to me?
Believe me, I love life
The carousel will keep on spinning
Even if we go our separate ways
Was kann mir schon gescheh’n?
Glaub mir, ich liebe das Leben
Das Karussell wird sich weiterdreh’n
Auch wenn wir auseinandergeh’n
Maybe I’ll like being free again
Maybe I’ll fall in love anew
We will see
The world is beautiful
It’s not important how things will turn out
Vielleicht gefällt’s mir, wieder frei zu sein
Vielleicht verlieb’ ich mich aufs Neu’
Man wird ja seh’n
Die Welt ist schön
Wie’s kommt, ist einer-lei
Lei lei lei lei lei
You know I love life
La la la la la la la la lei
La la la la la la la la
Lei lei lei lei lei
Du weißt, ich liebe das Leben
La la la la la la la la lei
La la la la la la la la
No, do not worry about me
You know I love life
And even if I still cry for you sometimes
It’ll pass in time, I’m sure
Nein, sorg’ dich nicht um mich
Du weißt, ich liebe das Leben
Und auch wenn ich manchmal wein’ um dich
Das geht vorüber sicherlich
You know I love life
Du weißt, ich liebe das Leben

Welcome to the Eurovision Song Bracket!
This will be a fairly large bracket, consisting of two "teams" of 68 songs for a total of 136 competitors!
The first team has been preselected, and will consist of all previous winners or popular vote winners if applicable.
This means that if your favorite song won, you do not need to submit them (a couple of exceptions apply, see list at the bottom/read more for details)
Submissions are closed!
Rules!
- Entries must have been a part of the main competition of Eurovision of any year (I might do a MGP mini bracket if the people want that)
- Once again, you do not need to submit winners, they are (mostly) automatically in. Again, see bottom for details and explanations.
- You may submit multiple songs, but please don't send the same song over and over.
- Propaganda is highly encouraged! There is a spot for it in the submission form, and adding it on to the poll itself or sending an ask is also allowed. You may send a DM, but I'll probably be slow to respond that way.
How it Works!
- There will be multiple brackets of 34 songs
- Each of the preselected winners will be randomly against one of the submitted songs. Pairings will be decided through number assignment and a random number generator.
- Vote for your favorite! I will include links to the songs in the poll so you can listen to both before voting. The winner will move onto the next round until we find the winner of that bracket.
- Once all brackets are complete, the winners of their individual brackets will go onto the finals to determine the (unofficial) Ultimate Eurovision Song Winner!
- There will be a preliminary around, as 1969 (hehe nice) had a four way tie, so we will need to determine which of those four will represent that year!
Tagging some other brackets to get the word out
@animalcrossingshowdown @ultimate-soup-showdown @least-sexy-man-competition @soulmatebracket @irlcats-bracket @little-cat-showdown @bestvegetablepoll @baby-brawl-bracket @died-but-not-dead-tournament @unusannusbracket
Click the read more for the list of songs that are automatically in the bracket!
