L'Amour S'En Va (English translation: "Love Goes Away") was the Monegasque entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1963, performed in French by Françoise Hardy.
The song is in the chanson style, popular in the early years of the Contest. Hardy sings about a relationship which is conducted in the knowledge that love is a fleeting thing - however this does not seem to matter to either of the lovers involved, as they "chase after it".
The song was performed fifteenth on the night (following Belgium's Jacques Raymond with Waarom and preceding Luxembourg's Nana Mouskouri with À Force De Prier). At the close of voting, it had received 25 points, placing 5th in a field of 16.
It was succeeded as Monegasque representative at the 1964 Contest by Romuald with Où Sont-Elles Passées.
