Petite France, petit pays
Petite France, que les grands oublient
France qui n'est plus pour eux
Qu'une minuscule tache bleue
Perdue sur la mappemonde
Petite France, je t'aime
Petite France, petit pays
Petite France, où j'ai ma vie
France qui peu à peu n'est plus
Qu'une minuscule tache bleue
Perdue sur la mappemonde
Petite France, je t'aime
Huit jours loin de son champ
Le vieux paysan se meurt
A New York ou ailleurs
Auquel je regarde les murs
Je pense à mes rivières
Petite France, petit pays
Petite France, que les grands oublient
France qu'on ne connait plus qu'à peine
Lorsqu'on vit dans l'Ontario ou en Ukraine
Petite France, je t'aime
Et même si je la suis
La tentation de partir
A New York ou ailleurs
Au Caire, je veux revoir ma ville
Marcher sous ses lumières
Petit pays, où j'ai ma vie
