{Refrain:}
Et l'on m'appelle l'oriental
Le brun au regard fatal
Et l'on m'appelle l'oriental
Car moi je suis sentimental
Et pourtant je ne fais pas de mal
On m'a surnommé l'oriental
On critique ma vie
Mais on aime ma compagnie
A tout instant mon cœur s'attache
Mon cœur joue à cache-cache
Même quand je n'ai pas un dollar
Je chante et j'oublie mon cafard
On m'a surnommé l'oriental
Car moi je suis sentimental
{au Refrain}
Chansons tristes ou chansons gaies
Moi je chante ce qu'il me plaît
C'est la musique qui m'affole
Musique orientale ou espagnole
La chanson c'est comme l'amour
Ça fait rêver la nuit le jour
On m'a surnommé l'oriental
Tellement je suis sentimental
{au Refrain}
