'''Adieu''' ([[English language|English]] translation: "Goodbye") was the [[Norway|Norwegian]] entry in the [[Eurovision Song Contest 1982]], performed in [[Norwegian language|Norwegian]] by [[Jahn Teigen]] and [[Anita Skorgan]].
The song is a ballad, with the duo taking the roles of lovers ending a relationship. They pledge to remain on good terms, even though they are no longer together. Somewhat ironically, Skorgan and Teigen were married at the time they performed together, but divorced shortly thereafter.
The song`s lyrics was an experiment in which they tried to avoid Norwegian "hard words" like IKKE and BAKKE, to make the song more listenable to European ears. Hence the french title "Adieu".
The song was performed third on the night (following [[Luxembourg]]'s [[Svetlana (singer)|Svetlana]] with [[Cours Après Le Temps]] and preceding the [[United Kingdom]]'s [[Bardo (group)|Bardo]] with [[One Step Further]]). At the close of voting, it had received 40 points, placing 12th in a field of 18.
