Le jeune facteur est mort
Il n'avait que dix-sept ans
L'amour ne peut plus voyager
Il a perdu son messager
C'est lui qui venait chaque jour
Les bras chargés de tous mes mots d'amour
C'est lui qui tenait dans ses mains
La fleur d'amour cueillie dans ton jardin
Il est parti dans le ciel bleu
Comme un oiseau enfin libre et heureux
Et quand son âme l'a quitté
Un rossignol quelque part a chanté
Je t'aime autant que je t'aimais
Mais je ne peux le dire désormais
Il a emporté avec lui
Les derniers mots que je t'avais écrit
Il n'ira plus sur les chemins
Fleuris de roses et de jasmins
Qui mènent jusqu'à ta maison
L'amour ne peut plus voyager
Il a perdu son messager
Et mon cœur est comme en prison
Il est parti l'adolescent
Qui t'apportait mes joies et mes tourments
L'hiver a tué le printemps
Tout est fini pour nous deux maintenant
