When Marie Myriam , (Myriam Lopes ), won eurovision song contest , i was not even born , but i do love this song... Reminds me of my Mother . She love this ... I grew up with this song ... Very proud of portuguese blood runs on her veins too.
Merci beaucoup Jack ! Thanks you for answering to my request . And I'm glad you liked the song . You are quite on point with the lyrics, basically its a song for love , peace and a better world. And yes the tittle means : the bird and the child. So good to see you react to all these old entrys . It was my second time watching the eurovision in 1977, I was a little child but I was SO HAPPY to see my country winning with a great song that I was hooked to eurovision so I never missed a live since 1976 . Big kisses from Paris with love ! And keep going with your great vidéos and personality ;-)
This song became very famous in french speaking countries (at least France and Switzerland) WE know it even now, and I think I even learned it at School at some point
Their last victory, altough they came close in later years like 1991 (still on your list I hope). And if you like songs with a beautiful story you should also react to France 1979.
French entry of 1991 should have won it was a perfect beutiful piece of art! Its a pitty that Carolla of Sweeden 1991 that recived the same points like France won just because she recived more duz points
This is the translation of the lyrics: Like a child with eyes full of light That sees the birds passing by in the distance Like the blue bird flying over the earth See how beautiful the world... the world is Beautiful is the boat, dancing on the waves Wild of life, love and wind Beautiful is the song, coming from the waves Abandoned to the white sand White is the innocent, the blood from the poet Who invents love by singing So that life gets dressed in feast And so that night changes to day Day from a life when dawn breaks To wake up the town with heavy eyes When mornings gather the dreams To give us a world of love Love, it's you; love, it's me The bird, it's you; the child, it's me I'm just a girl of the shade That sees the evening star shining You, my star that forms a circle Come to light my dark sun Dark are the misery, the men and the war Which believe that they hold the time's reins The country of love doesn't have a border For the ones who have a child's heart Like a child with eyes full of light That sees the birds passing by in the distance Like the blue bird flying over the earth We will find this world of love Love, it's you; love, it's me The bird, it's you; the child, it's me The bird, it's you; the child, it's me The bird, it's you; the child, it's me Fun fact: The contest was the 7th of may in 1977 and the singer turned 20 the 8th of may in 1977
You're not alone Jake, I too get scared when listening to old Eurovision songs xD I've just listened to Ireland 1996, literally got a heart attack because of the noise in the beginning lol France 1977 is one of my favourite winners ♥ So great! (I also think your translation was correct) Pleaseeeee Bulgaria 2007! I wonder what your reaction will be to it!
Thanks for doing a video with one of my request :) Can you also do Belgium 1986 that won eurovision that year with J'aime la Vie? She was the youngest winner at 13 y.o. And also Luxembourg 1965, the first year that Pop music won an ESC with the late France Gall, one of France's greatest singer with Poupée de Cire, Poupée de son. Thanks Jake :)
Yes! I was waiting for this one. Beautifull song, but hard to catch the meaning the first time you listen to it, cause it's poetry and the lyrics go fast. You did a good job though :)
I was 13 years old when this song won and love it just as much today as then. She performed the song with English lyrics the following week on Top Of The Popsua-cam.com/video/J1rnn3VZZys/v-deo.html and I bought the 7" single as soon as it came out. It only made no 42 in the UK charts though, despite quite a lot of radio airplay at the time. In fact, I played the record so much that I can still remember all the words over 40 years later!
CLASSIC - I t could have been a song from 10 yrs back from 67 to 77... not up to the 1977 style, but still a beautiful and good song. I actually remember having heard at some point.
Jake can You please .react to the recording of the director of the BBC who were hosting this year when doing the winners reprise. Things start going a bit wrong. He’s going ballistic(especially at the cow in his ear😂). Then he’s laughing and joking at the end. Must be a stressful job
Fun fact : She's the first person that won Eurovision that was born after the contest started. Personally this is my favourite French winner.
She is the only French who ever won Eurovision so.. Logic
@@NAGA222 What ? Remember Luxembourg's win in 1965. Plus she's not even French, she's Congolese.
@ Fereol Margot no, she isn’t.
@@NAGA222France won the Eurovision five times. In 1958, 1960, 1962, 1969 and 1977.
@@Dannyboy. Really ? My bad, i really thought we won only once
The lyrics are absolutely beautifully poetic…
Masterpiece. Classy and elegant just like French people
Indeed!
Believe me, a lot of french people aren't classy and elegant xD
@@jean-baptistechopin1799 On ne vise personne. Hein les Patoches ?
I love the two parts where the orchestra builds up and then disappears. Great song, the best of the French winners 😃
Lovely song, think it's one of the more popular older winners, lots of younger ESC fans I see still enjoy it :)
Wonderfull French entry. :)
"The bird is you, the child is me"
A classy song and a worthy winner! Merci la France!🇫🇷
She is a legend of Eurovision!
Such a classic song in the european french-speaking countries! Love that song! :)
Such a wonderful melody. I watched the whole 1977 contest, this was really one of the better ones...
When Marie Myriam , (Myriam Lopes ), won eurovision song contest , i was not even born , but i do love this song... Reminds me of my Mother . She love this ... I grew up with this song ...
Very proud of portuguese blood runs on her veins too.
My favorite song of the Eurovision song contest! This entry is amazing and Marie Myriam is wonderful
One of my favourite winners ever

I love germany from this year Telegram from disco band silver convention who also had hits like get up and boogie and fly robin fly.
OOOOOOOOoooOh my all time favorite!!!
The lyrics are very deep and great... One of the best songs which has been performed and won the eurovision.
Their last victory, altough they came close in later years like 1991 (still on your list I hope). And if you like songs with a beautiful story you should also react to France 1979.
LOVE France 1979 ! Beautiful story but sad one
Marco van Melis I've literally spammed a lot of his videos requesting that he reacts to France 1991. It's my favorite French entry ever.
French entry of 1991 should have won it was a perfect beutiful piece of art! Its a pitty that Carolla of Sweeden 1991 that recived the same points like France won just because she recived more duz points
This is the translation of the lyrics:
Like a child with eyes full of light
That sees the birds passing by in the distance
Like the blue bird flying over the earth
See how beautiful the world... the world is
Beautiful is the boat, dancing on the waves
Wild of life, love and wind
Beautiful is the song, coming from the waves
Abandoned to the white sand
White is the innocent, the blood from the poet
Who invents love by singing
So that life gets dressed in feast
And so that night changes to day
Day from a life when dawn breaks
To wake up the town with heavy eyes
When mornings gather the dreams
To give us a world of love
Love, it's you; love, it's me
The bird, it's you; the child, it's me
I'm just a girl of the shade
That sees the evening star shining
You, my star that forms a circle
Come to light my dark sun
Dark are the misery, the men and the war
Which believe that they hold the time's reins
The country of love doesn't have a border
For the ones who have a child's heart
Like a child with eyes full of light
That sees the birds passing by in the distance
Like the blue bird flying over the earth
We will find this world of love
Love, it's you; love, it's me
The bird, it's you; the child, it's me
The bird, it's you; the child, it's me
The bird, it's you; the child, it's me
Fun fact: The contest was the 7th of may in 1977 and the singer turned 20 the 8th of may in 1977
I learned that song after one try. Merci Marie Myriam!
She sings from the perspective of being the child.
One of my favourite winners of all time tbh
Love this song
I hope they win soon, can’t wait for Destination Eurovision
Jake, France had glorious eras of 1990-1993 (all great songs),1994-1995 entries were also nice, 2001-2002 had two majestic ballads.
Agree. I must just add that 2001 is a masterpiece. France 1987 was also good....
You can start a new series which include all the winners of eurovision
I second that
You're not alone Jake, I too get scared when listening to old Eurovision songs xD
I've just listened to Ireland 1996, literally got a heart attack because of the noise in the beginning lol
France 1977 is one of my favourite winners ♥ So great! (I also think your translation was correct)
Pleaseeeee Bulgaria 2007! I wonder what your reaction will be to it!
1996 winner is a great song but yeah, most of the orchestra era songs seem to need to start with a bang
Olivia Mac Arthur Also people back then were clapping so loudly xD
Please react C'est le dernier qui a parlé qui a raison - France 1991 - Eurovision Song Contest First place es aequo :(
I really love this entry! 😍
You should react to UK and Finland’s entries from that year. They were good too.
Best french song!
Thanks for doing a video with one of my request :) Can you also do Belgium 1986 that won eurovision that year with J'aime la Vie? She was the youngest winner at 13 y.o. And also Luxembourg 1965, the first year that Pop music won an ESC with the late France Gall, one of France's greatest singer with Poupée de Cire, Poupée de son. Thanks Jake :)
The UK entry of 1977 (came 2nd) is one of my all-time favourites. Worthy winner here though.
Lovely song!
Check out also France 1963, the song is called 'Elle était si jolie', a beautiful one!
I was today years old when I found out it's a Eurovision entry. Great song !
Yes! I was waiting for this one. Beautifull song, but hard to catch the meaning the first time you listen to it, cause it's poetry and the lyrics go fast. You did a good job though :)
Can you put Portugal 1996 & Georgia 2011 on your list?
Please put Denmark 2011 on your list 😊💚
Remember this french song - still like it 😊
I LOVE Denmark from 2011 also! :)
In my top5 fav esc songs!😂
Could you please a video about the Greek entry in 1977 eurovision song contest?
I was 13 years old when this song won and love it just as much today as then.

Could you react to 1971 Monaco? :)
It reminds me of "Here's to you" by Joan Baez
The last time France have won Eurovision
That was the last time we won Eurovision :(
I'd love it if you reacted to Israel's songs from 2013/2014. They're really high quality and well performed songs that unfortunately did not qualify
It took a while for me to warm to this. I really like it now, but I still hear a song with continuous buildup to not much end.
I remember this, I liked it but it wasn't my favourite that year. Worthy winner though...
Please React to Germany 1981 & 1982
Zutre Vanr Germany 1981 was such a beautiful song
Plz react to Montenegro 2013 :)
