'Baby Baby' lyrics
Naj nanana, nanana na nana
Oh - na nanana, nanana na nana
La la la la la
Baby, baby - wat is er nou?
Zeg me even, ben ik van jou?
Zeg het me nog wel duizend maal
Spreek van liefde in elke taal
Liefde is broos, 't is net als porselein
Oh... breekt in je hand voor het voltooid kan zijn
Laat ons samen zijn
Baby, baby, I love you
Yo te quiero, oui, mon amour
'T Is zo heerlijk samen te zijn
Maar het scheiden doet toch geen pijn
Toch weet ik wel, een vrouw kan niets alleen
Oh... liefde gebeurt enkel met twee bijeen
Laat ons samen zijn
Soms is liefde maar liefdepijn
Al wou je dat het anders kon zijn
Baby, baby - wat is er nou?
Zeg me even, ben ik van jou?
Zeg het me nog wel duizend maal
Spreek van liefde in elke taal
Baby, baby, I love you
Yo te quiero, oui, mon amour
'T Is zo heerlijk samen te zijn
Maar het scheiden doet toch geen pijn
Naj nanana, nanana na nana
Oh - na nanana, nanana na nana
La la la la la

As a Belgian, i know very well we had multiple terrible entries that deserved last place, but this is not one of them. This performance was, and is, legendary, even young people know the 'purple suits', and nicole and hugo are still very popular, over the language borders and with all age groups. They are true legends here.

This song was too good to end in last place. Iconic and legendary, something that wasn't seen on a Eurovision in that time. I love their song, their performance, choreography, their purple outfits. One of the best songs from Belgium ever. RIP Nicole, you will be always remembered! 🖤💛❤️
FUN FACT 1: Claude Lombard who represented Belgium at Eurovision 1968 was a backing vocal for Nicole and Hugo.
FUN FACT 2: Nicole and Hugo were chosen to represent Belgium at Eurovision 1971 with the song 'Goeiemorgen morgen' but due to Nicole's illness they weren't able to travel in Dublin.
FUN FACT 3: In 2004, they tried again, after 29 years, at the Eurovision Song Contest. They entered the Flemish pre-selections, with "Love is all Around". They placed second in the first round, but scored lowly with the jury, so failed to make it to the final round.

Also there are two great adverts (well I think they are adverts - I don't speak Dutch or Flemish) for the supermarket chain Lidl for Valentines Day which use Baby Baby as the jingle (with new lyrics).

Baby baby what's up?, what is amiss? Tell me, am i yours? Tell me one or two things. Speak love in any language. Love is brittle,frail,fragile, it is like chinaware. It breaks (off, knocks off) in your hand before it can be complete. Let us be together. Baby baby i love you (te quiero) oui mon amour yes my love. It is so marvellous being together. But the divorce does not ache. Nevertheless, i know that a woman cannot do it anything alone
Bebé bebé Naj nanana… nanana na nana… Oh… na nanana… nanana na nana… Lala lala la... Nena, nena, ¿qué pasa? Dime, ¿soy tuyo? Dime mil veces Habla amor en cualquier idioma. El amor es frágil, es como la porcelana. Oh... se rompe en tu mano antes de que pueda completarse. estemos juntos Nena, nena, te amo Yo te quiero, oui, mon amour Es tan maravilloso estar juntos Pero el divorcio no duele Sin embargo, sé que una mujer no puede hacer nada sola.
Oh love just occurs when two are together
Let us be together
Sometimes love is just love pain
Although you would long for it to be different
Oh... el amor sólo ocurre cuando dos están juntos estemos juntos A veces el amor es solo dolor de amor Aunque desearías que pudiera ser diferente Nena, nena, ¿qué pasa? Dime, ¿soy tuyo? Dime mil veces Habla amor en cualquier idioma. Nena, nena, te amo Yo te quiero, oui, mon amour Es tan maravilloso estar juntos Pero la separación no duele de todos modos
It is so gorgeous, terrific, being together, but the breaking up does not ache anyhow

[@warb635]

Also they had already an Eurovision song named 'goeiemorgen morgen' in 1971. But they were sick, so Lily Castel and Jacques Raymond did sing it on Eurovision. That song went viral in Ukraine a month ago as protest against Russian invasion. The song title has another less polite meaning when spoken in Ukrainian or Russian apparently.
