Gelukkig Zijn

Gelukkig Zijn

"Gelukkig Zijn" (English translation: "Being Happy") was the Belgian entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1975, performed in Dutch (with the second half in English) by Ann Christy.

The song was performed eleventh on the night (following Malta's Renato with "Singing This Song" and preceding Israel's Shlomo Artzi with "At Va'Ani"). At the close of voting, it had received 17 points, placing 15th in a field of 19.

The song deals with the simple pleasures of life and muses "So that's called being happy". The singer then compares these feelings with "the feeling I get from you" and considers that this, too, could be happiness.

It was succeeded as Belgian representative at the 1976 Contest by Pierre Rapsat singing "Judy Et Cie".
