Il pleut de l'or was the Swiss entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 in Oslo performed by Michael von der Heide.
It was performed 5th in the second semifinal following Denmark and preceding Sweden. At the close of voting, it finished in last place with only 2 points, thus missing out on the final. It would also be the last Swiss entry chosen internally until 2019 as SRG SSR decided to return to a national final for its entry selection in 2011.
It would be the last Swiss song to be performed entirely in French until Tout l'univers in 2021.

Pam padadam padadam...
Padada dadadam...
Padadam padadam...
À l'horizon, une touche d'argent
Comme après l'orage, s'en vont les nuages
Les nuits d'été, sommeil oublié
Grâce à ton parfum, je retrouve mon chemin
Il pleut de l'or, chaque fois que tu me parles d'amour
Il pleut de l'or, ensemble partons pour faire le grand tour
Sous la voûte étoilée, les destins sont dorés
Il pleut de l'or
Pam padadam padadam...
Padada dadadam...
Padadam padadam...
Et au matin, secrets communs
Les regards échangés sont complices de l'été
Le jour chasse la magie
Reste les yeux qui brillent
Il pleut de l'or, chaque fois que tu me parles d'amour (il pleut de l'or)
Il pleut de l'or, ensemble partons pour faire le grand tour
Sous la voûte étoilée, les destins sont dorés
Il pleut de l'or
Danse avec moi, vole avec moi
Parle tout bas, parle-moi
(Il pleut de l'or) Il pleut de l'or
Il pleut de l'or
Il pleut de l'or, ensemble partons pour faire le grand tour
Sous la voûte étoilée, les destins sont dorés
Il pleut de l'or
Pam padadam padadam...
Padada dadadam...
Padadam padadam...
At the horizon, a touch of silver
Like after a storm, the clouds disappear
The summer nights, forgotten dream
Thanks to your perfume, I find my way back
It's raining gold, each time you talk to me about love
It's raining gold, let's leave together for the big journey
Under the starry vault, the destinies are golden
It's raining gold
Pam padadam padadam...
Padada dadadam...
Padadam padadam...
And in the morning, shared secrets
The exchanged glances are accomplice of summer
The day chases magic
The shimmering eyes remain
It's raining gold, each time you talk to me about love (it's raining gold)
It's raining gold, let's leave together for the big journey
Under the starry vault, the destinies are golden
It's raining gold
Dance with me, fly with me
Speak quietly, speak with me
(It's raining gold) It's raining gold
(It's raining gold)
It's raining gold, let's leave together for the big journey
Under the starry vault, the destinies are golden
It's raining gold
