Petit indien s'en allaitSur son joli canoëEt tout le long il chantaitOhéAu rythme de sa pagaieVoguant vers sa bien aiméeIl avait le cœur si gaiOhéLes lianes le caressaientEt les bambous s'écartaientPour laisser son canoëPasserLes oiseaux du voisinageSe disaient dans leur langage"Prenons bien soin du petit indien"Oui,
mais quand la nuit fut venue,Dans son nid,
chacun disparuIl fut seul et la lune bleueFerma ses yeuxPetit indien sommeillaitMais par bonheur,
une filleSur la rivière enchantéeVeillaitEt des poissons argentésToute la nuit ont nagéEn guidant son canoëLégerEveillé par un baiserIl se dit "C'est la rosée"Mais s'était sa bien aiméeOhéL'amour chassant les obstaclesAvait semé les miraclesSur le chemin du petit indienOhé !
Ohé !
Ohé !
