He tells his lover how he feels, likening her to "a flower that I picked", implying that the relationship was of a comparatively short duration.

At the close of voting, it finished in joint last place with 3 points. The song also has an important place in Portuguese history. It was the first of two signals that helped launch the Carnation Revolution in 1974 which eventually succeeded in overthrowing the government in power at that time - the initial signal for the rebels was the song's debut playing on the radio. According to The Eurovision Song Contest: The Official History, it was described as "the only Eurovision entry to have actually started a revolution".
