Eurovision Song Contest Wiki


Je suis tombé du ciel was the Luxembourg entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1970 in Amsterdam performed by David Alexandre Winter.

The song is a ballad, with Winter telling his lover that he had previously lived in heaven before seeing her. As a result, he fell from his lofty place and now wishes not to return, implying that being with her is in fact better than being in heaven. Winter also recorded an English-language version of the song, entitled "Falling in Love".

The song was performed eighth on the night, following the United Kingdom and preceding Spain. At the close of voting, it had received the dreaded Nul Points, placing 12th (last). It was the only time in their contest history that Luxembourg failed to score.

Je vivais bien là-haut dans mes nuages
J’avais le cœur et la tête en voyage
Je me croyais tranquille pour longtemps
Pour longtemps

Chaque fois que je regardais la terre
Je la trouvais bien ronde et bien sévère
Je n’avais pas envie de voir les gens
Mais tout à coup, un jour, en te voyant

Je suis tombé du ciel pour me pencher sur toi
En arrivant du ciel, je suis tombé sur toi
Il m’est venu des ailes en m’approchant de toi
Je suis tombé du ciel et je suis fou de joie

Je n’irai plus jamais dans les nuages
Tu es ma ville et tu es mon village
J’ai découvert que le seul paradis
C’est ici

Dieu qu’on s’ennuie quand on plane là-haut
À vivre seul comme un triste pierrot
Quand il suffit de plonger dans tes yeux
Pour naviguer au milieu du ciel bleu

Je suis tombé du ciel pour me pencher sur toi
En arrivant du ciel, je suis tombé sur toi
Il m’est venu des ailes en m’approchant de toi
Je suis tombé du ciel et je suis fou de joie

Lala lala lala… lala lala lala…
Lala lala lala… et je suis fou de joie

I lived well up there in my clouds
My heart and my head were travelling
I felt I was quiet for a long time
For a long time

Everytime I looked at the earth
I found it very round and very hard
I didn’t want to see people
But suddenly, one day, while seeing you

I fell from heaven to bend me over you
Arriving from heaven, I fell on you
Approaching you, gave me wings
I fell from heaven and I’m mad with joy

I’ll never go back to the clouds
You’re my city and you’re my village
I’ve discovered that the only paradise
Is here

I pray that they will be bored when they sore up there
To live alone like a sad stay-at-home
When it’s enough to dive in your eyes
To navigate in the middle of the blue sky

I fell from heaven to bend me over you
Arriving from heaven, I fell on you
Approaching you, gave me wings
I fell from heaven and I’m mad with joy

Lala lala lala… lala lala lala…
Lala lala lala… and I am mad with joy
