Je Suis Tombé Du Ciel (English translation: "I Fell from Heaven") was the Luxembourgish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1970, performed in French 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.
The song was performed eighth on the night (following the United Kingdom's Mary Hopkin with Knock, Knock, Who's There? and preceding Spain's Julio Iglesias with Gwendolyne). At the close of voting, it had received the dreaded nul points, placing 12th (last) in a field of 12.
It was succeeded as Luxembourgish representative at the 1971 Contest by Monique Melsen with Pomme, Pomme, Pomme.
