[refrain:]
Les ballons rouges
Qui s'envolent et qui bougent
Dans le ciel au soleil rouge
Sont des rêves d'enfants
Les ballons rouges
Qui s'envolent et qui bougent
Font pleurer les enfants
S'ils éclatent dans le vent
Je m'souviens qu'à six ans
Tu regardais un vieux marchand
Qui vendait aux autres enfants des ballons
Tu ouvrais tes yeux tout grands
Tu voulais depuis longtemps un ballon
[au refrain]
Robes rouges et ballon rouges
Je t'avais offert le mien
Mais tu as ouvert la main
Et là-haut oh oh
Ballon s'est envolé
Et dans le ciel il s'est noyé
Et tu t'es mis à pleurer
Le coeur gros
[au refrain]
Maintenant tu as vingt ans
Ne fais plus comme l'enfant
Et garde bien mon amour
Dans ta main
Ballon rouge est comme l'amour
Oui il peut s'envoler un jour
Et devenir le ballon gris
Des chagrins
[au refrain, x2]
