O Vento Mudou

O Vento Mudou (English translation: "The Wind Changed") was the Portuguese entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1967, performed in Portuguese by Eduardo Nascimento.

The song is in the chanson style, popular in the early years of the Contest. Nascimento sings about a former lover, who told him that she was going to see the world, promising to return if the wind changed. He explains that the wind did change, but that it did not bring her expected return. He asks the wind to bring her back to him, however he also asks the clouds to cover his pain as he feels that he will die without her.

The song was performed fifth on the night (following France's Noëlle Cordier with Il Doit Faire Beau Là-Bas and preceding Switzerland's Géraldine with Quel Cœur Vas-Tu Briser). At the close of voting, it had received 3 points, placing 12th in a field of 17.

It was succeeded as Portuguese representative at the 1968 Contest by Carlos Mendes with Verão.
