Qui êtes-vous?
Si tu m'aimes, tu dois deviner
Aujourd'hui tous les deux on se cache
Derrière nos masques
Pour se demander:
Qui êtes-vous? Dites vite!
Dis-moi à quel jeu tu m'invites
Je voudrais me fondre à ta suite
Je voudrais qu'on prenne la fuite
Moi, je vagabonde, poéte et chanteur
J'ai perdu la ronde qui mène au bonheur
Moi, je cours les routes
Je reste chez moi
L'amour me déroute
Je n'y croyais pas...
Moi, dans la fanfare
Je porte un drapeau
Modèstie à part, je joue bien du pipeau
Je suis si fragile
J'ai dix ans de trop
Je suis Colombine
Je suis Pierrot
Mais c'est Carnaval et qu'importe aujourd'hui qui tu es
Demain tout redeviendra normal
Demain tout va finir
Laissons le temps courir
Laisse au jour sa lumière
Aujourd'hui je suis ce que tu attends de moi
Si tu veux laissons faire, on verra
Peut-être que demain on se retrouvera
Peut-être que demain on se reconnaîtra...
