Lyrics

Ici-bas tous les lilas meurent,
Tous les chants des oiseaux sont courts,
Je reveaux etes qui demeurent toujours!

Ici-bas les levres effleurent
Sans rien laisser de leur velours,
Je reveaux baiser qui demeurent toujours!

Ici-bas, tous les hommes pleurent
Leurs amities ou leurs amours,
Je reve aux couples qui demeurent, toujours!
