Spending 1969 on tour and private travelings to India, Dalida released several less successful recordings like "", "L'an 2005" and "Les violons de mon pays", all poorly promoted on TV and radio attracting some success in Turkey and France. "Oh lady Mary" was released in autumn and remained her last Italian hit. Returning to German TV, Dalida danced casatchok on her new song Petruschka, which was followed with release of three new albums; "Canta in Italiano", "In Deutsch" and "Ma mère me disait", a sales topper in Poland. Dalida was also awarded with MIDEM, award for the best selling artist of the year in Italy, and her first Radio Luxembourg singer of the year award, which she went on to win for several more times.
