N'est-il pas vrai MarieQue c'est prier pour vousQue
de lui dire je t'aimeEn tombant à genouxN'est-il
pas vrai MarieQue c'est prier pour vousQue pleurer
de bonheurEn riant comme un fouQue couvrir de
tendresseNos païennes amoursC'est fleurir de prièresChaque nuit chaque
jour.N'est-il pas vrai MarieQue c'est chanter pour vousQue
semer nos cheminsDe simples poésiesN'est-il pas vrai MarieQue
c'est chanter pour vousQue voir en chaque choseUne
chose jolieQue chanter pour l'enfantQui bientôt nous viendraC'est
chanter pour l'enfantQui repose en vos brasN'est-il pas
vrai Marie ?N'est-il pas vrai Marie ?
