The song was the second one performed during the 1967 Eurovision Song Contest . At the close of voting , it had received 17 points , placing fourth in a field of 17 , behind " Il doit faire beau là-bas " ( France ) , " If I Could Choose " ( Ireland ) and the winning song , " Puppet on a String " ( United Kingdom ) . Some forty years after its original release , " L'amour est bleu " , along with Domenico Modugno 's " Nel blu dipinto di blu " ( better known as " Volare " ) and Mocedades ' " Eres tú " , still counts as one of very few non-winning Eurovision entries ever to become a worldwide hit
