| rdfs:comment | - Antes do adeus was the Portuguese entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1997 in Dublin, performed by Célia Lawson. The song is a ballad, with Lawson recounting the events leading to the end of a relationship. She sings that her lover gradually moved away from her and returned things which they had held dear. From her perspective, the world changed markedly, with "the blue of the sky" ceasing to be as blue as it was. The song ends with the line "After the goodbye, deep sadness", by which point the lyrics have caught up with the end of the relationship itself.

| abstract | - Antes do adeus was the Portuguese entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1997 in Dublin, performed by Célia Lawson. The song is a ballad, with Lawson recounting the events leading to the end of a relationship. She sings that her lover gradually moved away from her and returned things which they had held dear. From her perspective, the world changed markedly, with "the blue of the sky" ceasing to be as blue as it was. The song ends with the line "After the goodbye, deep sadness", by which point the lyrics have caught up with the end of the relationship itself. The song was performed fifteenth on the night, following Bosnia and Herzegovina and before Sweden. By the close of voting, it had received Nul Points, placing it 24th (joint last). This was to be Portugal's worst result at any time since the Carnation Revolution. Despite this, the song has since been acknowledged to have been one of those least deserving of Nul Points in the history of the contest, coming second in a 2012 poll of such entries.
