     Ann Christy(born Christianne Leenaerts, 22 September 1945 in Antwerp – 7 August 1984 in Meise) was a Belgian singer who enjoyed success in her native country and is best known internationally for her participation in the Eurovision Song Contest 1975.

            Christy began a singing career with The Adams Orchestra, whose drummer, Marc Hoyois, she later married. Her first solo recordings met with little success. During this period she toured in Belgium and France with Salvatore Adamo. In 1968 she won the Knokke Cup singing contest.

            Christy's first attempt to represent Belgium in the Eurovision Song Contest came in 1970 with the song "Le temps, le vent" ("Time, Wind"), which failed to progress past the semi-final stage. She did better the following year, when "Dag vreemde man" ("Hello Stranger") finished in second place. A third attempt in 1973, when each of five chosen acts performed two songs, ended in third place for "Bye Bye". (Christy's other song, "Meeuwen" ("Seagulls"), was unplaced).

        Christy was finally successful in 1975, when "Gelukkig zijn" ("Being Happy") was chosen as Belgium's representative in the twentieth Eurovision Song Contest, which took place on 22 March in Stockholm. Christy sang the first half of the song in Dutch and the second half in English, and although the song had been tipped to do well, it ended the evening in a very disappointing 15th place out of 19 entries.

Het lopen door straten

Gewoon zonder doel

Het stilletjes praten

Alleen in 't gewoel

Het kijken naar mensen

Dat maakt me blij-ij-ij-ij

 

Dat heet dan gelukkig zijn

Een deur die plots open gaat

Dat heet dan gelukkig zijn

Waardoor je weer hopen gaat

Dat maakt je blij, maakt je blij, maakt je blij

Dat heet dan gelukkig zijn

't gevoel niet alleen te zijn

Dat heet dan gelukkig zijn

Om dan met zijn twee te zijn

 

Het onbezorgd dromen

Gewoon over jou

En dat je zal komen

't liefste heel gauw

Je weer te ontmoeten

Dat maakt me blij-ij-ij-ij

 

Dat heet dan gelukkig zijn

Een deur die plots open gaat

Dat heet dan gelukkig zijn

Waardoor je weer hopen gaat

Dat maakt je blij, maakt je blij, maakt je blij

Dat heet dan gelukkig zijn

't gevoel niet alleen te zijn

Dat heet dan gelukkig zijn

Om dan met zijn twee te zijn

 

Dat heet dan gelukkig zijn

Een deur die plots open gaat

Dat heet dan gelukkig zijn

Waardoor je weer hopen gaat

Dat maakt je blij, maakt je blij, maakt je blij

Dat heet dan gelukkig zijn ………

Got my keys got my coat got my shoes on

Got my phone got my bag got my nails done

You're here, you're here but I'm still alone

I say goodbye to your shadows

 

Like a moon you pull me to the shore

I can't be your ocean anymore

I can't, I can't but you don't know

How I feel so I gotta go

 

I...

I...

 

Got my keys got my coat got my shoes on

Got my phone got my bag got my nails done

You're here, you're here but I'm still alone

I say goodbye to your shadow

 

Like a moon you pull me to the shore

But I can't be your ocean anymore

I can't, I can't but you don't know

How I feel so I gotta go

 

Oh, please everytime that I say goodbye

Everytime that I say goodbye

Oh, I don't like leaving, I don't believe in

Everytime that I say goodbye

 

Should I leave a note this time

Or leave you hanging so I can change my mind

I get the upper hand here tonight

Want you to let go but I'm terrified

 

All the times on your knees in the hallway

All those times making please in the doorway

It hurts, it hurts but I don't know

Any other way so I gotta go

 

Again, everytime that I say goodbye

Everytime that I say goodbye

Oh, I don't like leaving, I don't believe in

Everytime that I say goodbye

 

Again, everytime that I say goodbye

Everytime that I say goodbye

Oh, I don't like leaving, I don't believe in

Everytime that I say goodbye

 

Everytime that I say goodbye

I don't like leaving, I don't believe in

Everytime that I say goodbye

 

I don't like leaving

I don't like leaving

I don't like leaving.

Mio padre che mi spinge a mangiare

E guai se non finisco

Mio padre che vuol farmi guidare

Mi frena con il fischio

Il bambino più grande mi mena

Davanti a tutti gli altri

Lui che passa per caso mi salva

E mi condanna per sempre

Mio padre di spalle sul piatto

Si mangia la vita

E poi sulla pista da ballo

Fa un valzer dentro il suo nuovo vestito

 

Per sempre

Solo per sempre

Cosa sarà mai portarvi dentro solo tutto il tempo

Per sempre

Solo per sempre

C'è un istante che rimane lì piantato eternamente

 

E lei che non si lascia afferrare

Si piega indietro e ride

E lei che dice quanto mi ama

E io che mi fido

E lei che mi toccava per prima

La sua mano bambina

Vuole che le giuri qualcosa

Le si gonfia una vena

E lei che era troppo più forte

Sicura di tutto

E prima di andarsene mi dà il profilo

Con un movimento perfetto

 

Per sempre

Solo per sempre

Cosa sarà mai portarvi dentro solo tutto il tempo

Per sempre

Solo per sempre

C'è un istante che rimane lì piantato eternamente

Per sempre

Solo per sempre

 

Mia madre che prepara la cena

Cantando Sanremo

Carezza la testa a mio padre

Gli dice, "Vedrai che ce la faremo"

 

Per sempre

Solo per sempre

Cosa sarà mai portarvi dentro solo tutto il tempo

Per sempre

Solo per sempre

C'è un istante che rimane lì piantato eternamente

 

Per sempre

Solo per sempre.
