[b]Y viva España[/b]
The music was written by Leo Caerts. Lyrics are by Leo Rozenstraten and Leif Nilsson.
Over 40 million copies of Y viva España by different performers have been sold already, and the song has become somewhat of a traditional. The earliest version of the song is that of Belguim performer Samantha in 1971, but unluckily for her, this was not the version that became a hit in all countries. In England and Scandinavia it was Swedish singer Sylvia who got the bucks with her "Y viva España". A version by James Last has also been extremily successful.
