She is the daughter of singer, musician, and composer Leandros Papathanasiou (also known as Leo Leandros and Mario Panas as well). In 1967, she achieved worldwide fame after securing fourth place for the country of Luxembourg in the Eurovision Song Contest with the song "L'amour est bleu," which became a global hit. She further solidified her career by winning the Eurovision Song Contest in 1972 with the song "Après Toi," once again representing Luxembourg.

On 15 October 2006, Vicky Leandros was elected town councillor of the Greek harbor town of Piraeus on the Pasok list. Her task concerned the Cultural and International development of Piraeus. She also served as Deputy Mayor of Piraeus. It was announced in June 2008 that Leandros decided to leave her position in Greek politics with immediate effect, stating that she had underestimated the workload and time needed to fulfill her political obligations and that it had become impossible to combine those duties with her singing career.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Frieden" by Vicky Leandros call for peace to come and let its song resound all over the world so that everyone, from the smallest child to the greatest entity such as the sky, rivers, and forests, can sing it. The song expresses a yearning for peace to reign and for wars, pain, and suffering to be forgotten as time goes by. The song specifically makes an appeal to peace to come to the children so that they may experience its benefits and so that they can be insulated from the ravages of war and its aftermath.

The song's lyrics are simple, yet poignant and powerful, and they reflect the universal human desire for peace. The call for peace to come to the children is particularly significant as children are often the most innocent and vulnerable victims of war. The song's use of natural imagery such as rivers and forests singing underlines the fact that peace is not just a human need, but a universal one that affects all of creation. In essence, the song emphasizes the importance of peace as a unifying force that can bring people together across all boundaries.
