Voilà que ça recommence
Les ding dong ding dong
Rappels de mon enfance
Et ma communion
Moi, je sortais de l'église
Habillé de blanc
Si blanche était ma chemise
Blanc mon cœur, tout blanc !
Quand le suisse ouvrit le porche
A double battant
L'immense fracas des cloches
Le soleil brûlant
Ont fait dans ma pauvre tête
Un grand trou béant
Je tombai comme une bête
La tête en avant
Dieu, je n'aime pas tes cloches
Elles me font mal
Sans arrêt, elles reprochent
Une nuit de bal
Samedi de notre danse
Emilie pleurait
Au petit jour de dimanche
Les cloches riaient
Dans le petit cimetière
Quand on l'a portée
Allongée sur ma misère
Les cloches sonnaient
Emilie était si blanche
Ses cheveux défaits
Quand on a cloué ses planches
Les marteaux sonnaient
