1981 Jean Gabilou - Humanahum

[@aerocap]

I share the opinion that this song should have won the best place.
Beautiful melody and above all stirring and deep lyrics that could have
never matched better the uncertainty of our Earth of these days.

For those who don't know the lyrics, this song is about a post-apocalyptic future during the year 3000 where the Earth has died.

"Humanahum" means "humanus errum", "human mistake"

[@EurovisieSongfestival]

Thanks for your reaction

[@trambus1144]

Isn't it rather "humanus" (human) + "humus" (ground)? Cause he sings "Terre, terre des hommes" which literally means "Mankind's Earth"

Humanahum humanité. En France on ne gagne pas l'Eurovision.... ou si peu.
