It won the Contest with 18 points, giving the country its second victory in row - the first time any country had won in consecutive years. It also tied as winner with the entries from France, The Netherlands and the United Kingdom, which is the only time in the Contest's history that more than one country won the title.

(Pa para para papa…)
(Pa para para papa…)

¿Cuántas noches vagando por mil caminos sin fin?
¿Cuántas noches callando cuánto te quise decir?
Una profunda esperanza y un eco lejano me hablaba de ti
Hoy que volviste a mi vida ya solo canto por ti

Desde que llegaste ya no vivo llorando
Vivo cantando, vivo soñando
Sólo quiero que me digas qué está pasando
Que estoy temblando de estar junto a ti

Desde que llegaste ya no vivo llorando (Hey)
Vivo cantando (Hey), vivo soñando (hey)
Pero me pregunto que tu amor hasta cuándo
Podré guardarlo muy dentro de mí

(Pa para para papa…)
(Pa para para papa…)

Desde que llegaste ya no vivo llorando (Hey)
Vivo cantando (Hey), vivo soñando (hey)
Sólo quiero que me digas qué está pasando
Que estoy temblando de estar junto a ti

Desde que llegaste ya no vivo llorando (Hey)
Vivo cantando (Hey), vivo soñando (hey)
Pero me pregunto que tu amor hasta cuándo
Podré guardarlo muy dentro de mí

Desde que llegaste ya no vivo llorando (Hey)
Vivo cantando (Hey), vivo soñando (hey)
Sólo quiero que me digas qué está pasando
Que estoy temblando de estar junto a ti
Que estoy temblando de estar junto a ti

(Pa para para papa…)
(Pa para para papa…)

(Hey, hey)

(Pa para para papa…)
(Pa para para papa…)

How many nights I wandered through a thousand endless paths?
How many nights I kept silent about what I wanted to say?
A deep hope and a faraway echo was talking about you
Today that you came to my life I only sing for you

Since you arrived, I don’t live crying
I live singing, I live dreaming
I just want you to tell me what’s happening
Because I’m trembling when I’m by your side

Since you arrived, I don’t live crying (Hey)
I live singing (Hey), I live dreaming (hey)
But I wonder how long I could keep
Your love deep inside of me

(Pa para para papa…)
(Pa para para papa…)

Since you arrived, I don’t live crying (Hey)
I live singing (Hey), I live dreaming (hey)
I just want you to tell me what’s happening
Because I’m trembling when I’m by your side

Since you arrived, I don’t live crying (Hey)
I live singing (Hey), I live dreaming (hey)
I just want you to tell me what’s happening
Because I’m trembling when I’m by your side

Since you arrived, I don’t live crying (Hey)
I live singing (Hey), I live dreaming (hey)
I just want you to tell me what’s happening
Because I’m trembling when I’m by your side
Because I’m trembling when I’m by your side

(Pa para para papa…)
(Pa para para papa…)

(Hey, hey)
