"Tout l'Univers" (English: The whole universe) was the Swiss entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 in Rotterdam, performed by Gjon's Tears, who had been chosen to represent the country the previous year before the Contest was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
It topped the vote the second semifinal and finished in 3rd place with 432 points in the final, winning the jury vote. It is now the country's best placing in the 21st century, its best finish in the semi-finals and its highest finish since the 1993 Contest in Millstreet.

Laisse le vent qui frôle
Sa main sur mon épaule
Le vide dans ma tête
Pas la moindre cachette
C'est l'aube qui décline
Derrière un champ de ruine
Le moment de grandir
Ne pas te retenir
Je vois derrière nous des morceaux de toi
Et ce que la douleur a fait de moi
Tout l'univers
Nos deux cœurs sous la terre
Au milieu des failles où tout éclate
Se trouver au point d'impact
Sans toi
Que deviendront nos souffles
S'ils restent sur le bord?
Cet amour qui nous tord
Je vois derrière nous des morceaux de toi
Et ce que la douleur a fait de moi
Tout l'univers
Nos deux cœurs sous la terre
Au milieu des failles où tout éclate
Se trouver au point d'impact
Sans toi
Derrière mes paupières
Trouver de l'air
(Ah)
Tout l'univers
(Nos deux cœurs sous la terre)
Au milieu des failles et des ressacs
Nous nous retrouvons au point d'impact
Comment soigner nos coeurs qui éclatent?
Let the wind brush
Her hand over my shoulder
The void in my head
Not a single place to hide
The dawn is fading
Behind a field of ruins
The time to grow up
Don’t hold yourself back
I see pieces of you behind us
And I see what pain has made of me
The whole universe
Our two hearts under the ground
At the centre of the rifts where everything explodes
Being at the point of impact
Without you
What will happen to our breaths
If they stay on the shore?
This love that wrings us out
I see pieces of you behind us
And I see what pain has made of me
The whole universe
Our two hearts under the ground
At the centre of the rifts
where everything explodes
Being at the point of impact
Without you
Behind my eyelids
Get some air
Ah
The whole universe
Our two hearts under the ground
At the centre of the rifts and the aftershocks
We meet at the point of impact
How can we heal our exploding hearts
