From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Macédomienne" ("My Macedonian girl") was the Belgian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1990 , performed in French by Philippe Lafontaine , who also composed it. The title of the song is a portmanteau blend of the two words "Macédonienne" ("Macedonian girl or woman") and "mienne" ("of mine").
The song was performed third on the night, following Greece 's Christos Callow & Wave with "Horis Skopo " and preceding Turkey 's Kayahan with "Gözlerinin Hapsindeyim ". At the close of voting, it had received 46 points, placing it 12th in a field of 22.
The song is an ode to the "Macedonian girl" of the title – in effect Lafontaine's wife – and, as the lyrics make clear with their reference to the town of Ohrid , to the Republic of Macedonia from which she hails.
It was succeeded as Belgian representative at the 1991 Contest by Clouseau performing "Geef het op ".
