The song was performed eighth on the night (following Norway's Kirsti Sparboe with "Karusell" and preceding Monaco's Marjorie Noël with "Va dire à l'amour"). At the close of voting, it had received zero points, placing 15th (equal last) in a field of 18.

The song features Marke promising her lover that she will do a number of things for him in Spring, including buying him whatever he wants. She sings that this will happen "when it is your holiday", which implies that he is in the military or another line of work which requires long absences. Marke also recorded a French-language version of the song under the title "Si peu de chose".

It was succeeded as Belgian representative at the 1966 Contest by Tonia performing "Un peu de poivre, un peu de sel".


gollark: I see.
gollark: What's that using, then?
gollark: If you're talking about contact tracing, there was a proposal for how to do it in a decent privacy-preserving way.
gollark: You seemed to be suggesting that open source was somehow worse than closed source software for security, which I disagree with.
gollark: <@!707673569802584106> Basically everything uses open source software in some form. If your security is compromised by people knowing how some component of your application works, it is not very secure in the first place.
