À la gare de Manhattan
J'ai dit adieu à Johan
Ça c'est bien passé
Je n'ai pas pleuré
Le train avait du retard
Johan n'était pas bavard
Que c'est long !
Que c'est long,
Quand on est parti déjà,
D'attendre un train qui ne vient pas
À la gare de Manhattan
J'ai dit adieu à Johan
On n'a pas osé,
Osé s'embrasser
Il a porté ma valise
Et moi, je me suis assise
Dans ce train,
Dans ce train,
À la place près du quai
Là où Johan était resté
À la gare de Manhattan
J'ai dit adieu à Johan
Le train est parti,
Parti dans la nuit
J'ai éteint cette lumière
Qui me brûlait les paupières
Et j'ai pu,
Et j'ai pu,
Lasse d'avoir tant lutté,
J'ai pu enfin longtemps pleurer
À la gare de Manhattan {x3}
