J'en appelle aux maisonsÉcrasées de lumièreJ'en appelle aux
amoursQue chantent les rivièresA l'éclatement bleuDes matins de
printempsA la force jolie des fillesQui ont vingt
ansA la fraicheur certaineD'un vieux puit de désertA
l'étoile qu'attendLe vieil homme qui se perdPour que
monte de nousEt plus fort qu'un désirLe désir
incroyableDe se vouloir construireEn se désirant faibleEt plutôt
qu'orgueilleuxEn se désirant lâchePlutôt que monstrueuxJ'en appelle à
ton rireQue tu croques au soleilJ'en appelle à
ton criÀ nul autre pareilAu silence joyeuxQui parle
doucementA ces mots que l'on ditRien qu'en se
regardantA la pesante mainDe notre amour sincèreA nos
vingt ans trouvésÀ tout ce qu'ils espèrentPour que
monte de nousEt plus fort qu'un désirLe désir
incroyableDe se vouloir construireEn préférant plutôtQue la gloire
inutileEt le bonheur profondEt puis la joie tranquilleJ'en
appelle aux maisonsÉcrasées de lumièreJ'en appelle à ton
criÀ nul autre pareil
