"Il y aura toujours des violons" ("There Will Always Be Violins") was the French entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1978, performed in French by Joël Prévost.
The song was performed sixth on the night, following Portugal's Gemini with "Dai li dou" and preceding Spain's José Vélez with "Bailemos un vals". At the close of voting it had received 119 points, coming third in a field of twenty.
The song is a ballad, with Prévost singing that, while many things about life can be changed (one's home, one's appearance, and so on), "there will always be violins to play love songs". Prévost also recorded an English language version of the song, entitled "Somewhere, Sometime".
The song was succeeded as French representative at the 1979 Contest by Anne-Marie David with "Je suis l'enfant soleil".

Famous quotes containing the words aura and/or des:
“Pregnant women! They had that weird frisson, an aura of magic that combined awkwardly with an earthy sense of duty. Mundane, because they were nothing unique on the suburban streets; ethereal because their attention was ever somewhere else. Whatever you said was trivial. And they had that preciousness which they imposed wherever they went, compelling attention, constantly reminding you that they carried the future inside, its contours already drawn, but veiled, private, an inner secret.”
—Ruth Morgan (1920–1978)
“One difference between Nazi and Soviet camps was that in the latter dying was a slower process.”
—Terrence Des Pres (1939–1987)
