Cliff Richard - Congratulations (Eurovision Song Contest 1968)

...Second place in Eurovision final
lyrics:
Congratulations
And celebrations
When I tell everyone that you're in love
With me
Congratulations
And jubilations
I want the world to know I'm happy as can be.
Who could believe that I could be happy and contented
I used to think that happiness hadn't been invented
But that was in the bad old days before I met you
When I let you walk into my heart
Congratulations
And celebrations
When I tell everyone that you're in love
With me
Congratulations
And jubilations
I want the world to know I'm happy as can be.
I was afraid that maybe you thought you were above me
That I was only fooling myself to think you loved me
But then tonight you said you couldn't live without me
That round about me
You wanted to stay
Congratulations
And celebrations
When I tell everyone that you're in love
With me
Congratulations
And jubilations
I want the world to know I'm happy as can be.
Congratulations
And jubilations
I want the world to know I'm happy as can be
I want the world to know
I'm happy as can be

Cliff singing the winning song before he went to the contest. Although he was cheated out of a win, he's had the last laugh, this song is used on sound chips in greeting cards and he's still an international star. 🎶❤️

[@mercedesbeard6974]

Yup.
Masiel with La La la won.
Today no one knows Masiel or her bring song. Cliff still is the king of our hearts

[@hanno-erdmanntietz8424]

⁠@@mercedesbeard6974I still remember Massiel. Cliff was robbed of Eurovision victory by vote rigging (Franco‘s regime was behind it).

[@isabellelevy-banchereau3271]

Exactement
Il n'a pas été le 1er à l'eurovision en 1968 mais il est le 1er dans nos coeurs depuis ses débuts en 1958
Hier il a fête ses 83 ans et il continue de chanter cette chanson qui est devenu un hymne international

[@houseoftone8939]

Cool, confident...that was Cliff in the day

[@shaunwakefield9793]

Should've won and probably the best Eurovision song. La la la.

[@kathesterk9048]

This guy deserved much more popularity in the US than he had. His "I'm Nearly Famous" album is a prize in this Chicago girl's vinyl collection.

Cliff richard is a legend and will always be.

[@mercedesbeard6974]

He was my big crush....still great

[@mkkrupp2462]

Golden voice

[@benjaminclasper9355]

I don’t know how years later this song started to become more popular with things like birthdays and other celebrations.

Best Year 1968 Cliff Was The Winner For Me!!!💕🎶🎤🌞❤️😘💕

Han pasado los años y La la la es la canción mas bella y mas artística de Eurovisión.
Congratulation es una tonta y bonita canción de chiquillos.. ahora bien, Clif Richard era un guapo, sexi y atractivo cantante y si el concurso hubiera escogido al cantante mas Hot, quizás Clif hubiera ganado, pero se buscaba la mejor canción y la mejor canción, por mucho, fue LA LA LA LA..

[@isabellelevy-banchereau3271]

Merci pour ce partage en live
Super eurovision de 1968

Dans mon top 5 voire 3 de Cliff Richard

[@starshiptrooper7670]

George Harrison's "It's Johnny's Birthday" brought me here.

[@nadirhajjour]

J'avais peur que peut-être tu penses que tu étais au-dessus de moi
I was afraid that maybe you thought you were above me
Que je me trompais seulement en pensant que tu m'aimerais
That I was only fooling myself to think you'd love me
Mais ce soir tu as dit que tu ne pouvais pas vivre sans moi
But then tonight you said you couldn't live without me
Autour de moi, tu voulais rester
That round about me you wanted to stay

Perhaps it’s because it’s saying congratulations you’ve grown into a man or you’ve gotten through the age in a away or a happy song too.
