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.

Mein Lied für Dich
Vicky Leandros Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mein lied für Dich
Das keine Grenzen kennt
Erklingt am hohen Firmanent
Du hörst den schweren Klang
Weil ich an Dich nur glaub
Und Musik fällt in dein Herz wie Sternenstaub

Mein Lied für Dich

Aus Glück und Leid gemacht
Besiegt die Einsamkeit der Nacht
Und wenn der Morgen kommt
Wird es im Wind verwehn
Und das Glück wird lächelnd vor dir stehn

Mein Lied für Dich
Die Liebesmelodie
Erfüllt uns zwei mit Harmonie
Und wenn Dein Herz erklingt

Das ist so schön für mich
Denn mein ganzes Leben ist mein Lied für Dich
