L'espérance est une île
Où les bateaux accostent
Pour nous livrer l'amour,
Un e-mail, un fax,
Une lettre à la poste,
Nous attendons toujours.
On a jeté l'orgueil
Des livres dans l'azur
Évitant les écueils,
On s'invente un futur.
Bora-bora,
L'espérance et une île,
Bora-bora,
Magie noire et vaudou,
Bora-bora,
Dans le ciel immobile
Le soleil fait son trou,
Dans ce monde sénile
Où vieillir est tabou.
L'espérance est une île
Où seuls les grands poètes
Peuvent rester debout
Bravant les interdits
Autant que les tempêtes,
Ils sont plus forts que tout.
Des cailloux du cahot
Ils ont fait des colliers
Où scintillent les mots
D'où l'espérance est née.
L'espérance est une île
Et les îles me plaisent
Où le regard se perd
Au pied d'un pilotis
J'arrimerai ma chaise
Et j'attendrai... la mer.
Bora-bora,
L'espérance est une île,
Bora-bora,
Magie noire et vaudou,
Bora-bora,
Dans l'écume indocile
Dont le soleil se joue.
Bora-bora,
L'espérance est une île,
Bora-bora,
Gardée par des gourous,
Bora-bora,
Dans le ciel immobile,
Le soleil fait son trou,
Dans ce monde sénile
Où vieillir est tabou.
