     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.
