"Le Dernier qui a parlé..." (French pronunciation: [lə dɛʁnje ki a paʁle]; "The last to have spoken...") is a song written and performed in French by Amina, to music by Wasis Diop. It was France's entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1991, performed as "C'est le dernier qui a parlé qui a raison" ("It's the last to have spoken who is right").
Eurovision Song Contest
The full title of the song was one of the longest in the contest's history alongside Man gewöhnt sich so schnell an das Schöne which represented Germany in 1964 until they were succeeded by The Social Network Song (Oh Oh - Uh - Oh Oh) which represented San Marino in 2012. The song was written by Amina herself and composed by Wasis Diop. Lyrically, Amina sings about the truth of the saying referenced in the title. She also extends it to "it's the loudest one to have spoken who is right".
The song was performed ninth on the night, following Sweden's Carola with "Fångad av en stormvind" and preceding Turkey's İzel Çeliköz, Reyhan Karaca & Can Uğurluer with "İki Dakika". At the close of voting, it had received 146 points, placing 2nd in a field of 22. It had tied for the first place, but the tie-break rules gave the win to Sweden. It was the last time France finished in the top 3 until 30 years later in 2021.
The song was succeeded as French representative at the 1992 contest by Kali with "Monté la riviè".
