Su canción

"Su canción", written by Fernando Moreno, is performed from the point of view of una mujer mayor ("a grown-up woman", ostensibly Missiego), who lived a solitary life until she found joy in the world around her through children who asked her to sing a song with them.[1] Betty Missiego, was a 34-year-old Peruvian singer and television presenter who had previous song contest experience representing Peru at the OTI Festival 1972 in Madrid.[2] Missiego recorded it in four different languages, besides Spanish also French –as "Dès qu'un enfant chante"–, Italian –as "Vola l'amore"–, and German –as "Der mann im mond"–.Missiego performed "Su canción" nineteenth that evening closing the competition, after Austria's "Heute in Jerusalem" by Christina Simon.As a result of the high placing, it is remembered as one of the more notable moments for Spain in the Contest, so much so that both Missiego and songwriter Moreno have been involved in events with OGAE, the official Eurovision fan club.
