"Amours mortes (tant de peine)" (English translation: "Dead love (so much sadness)") was the Luxembourgish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1957, performed in French by French singer Danièle Dupré.
The song is in the chanson style, with Dupré asking a former lover how she is meant to forget him and the pain his leaving caused her.
