" You 're Summer " was the Swedish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1973 , performed in English by Claes af Geijerstam and Göran Fristorp as Nova . The song was originally performed in Swedish as " Sommaren som aldrig säger nej " , when it won the Swedish national selection , Melodifestivalen 1973 , but was subsequently translated to English for the Eurovision as the rules requiring participant countries to sing in their own language was scrapped that year . This was first time Sweden had its entry performed in English since " Absent Friend " in 1965 In the song a comparison is made between a lover and the summer . The summer is when life grows in his lover and his lover never tells him no . The most intriguing line of this song is " Oh your breasts are like swallows in nesting " , written by the well-known poet Lars Forssell , member of the Swedish Academy
