Il est venu, soleil couchant,
Depuis la plaine, à travers champs:
"Je m'appelle Sam"! Il a souri:
"J'en avais marre et j' suis parti.
Marre de leurs bars et d' leurs juke-boxes
D' leur teint blafard, d' leurs matches de boxe.
Pour moi, sortez pas votre champagne,
J' veux seul'ment passer les montagnes".
Autour d' la table on s'est assis:
"Mets-toi plus près du feu, ici!
Et maintenant dis-nous pourquoi
Tu as quitté les gens d'en-bas".
"Là-bas, c'est bête, on croit qu'on vit,
On s'étourdit par tant de bruit,
On rit pour ne plus réfléchir,
On boit pour pouvoir s'endormir.
Et puis l'Asie, c'est tell'ment loin,
Qu'est-qu' ça peut faire qu' des gens aient faim?
Non, j' cherche pas l' pays de cocagne,
J' veux seul'ment passer les montagnes".
Il est parti, soleil levant,
On l'a r'gardé marcher longtemps,
On a vu son manteau de laine
Toujours plus haut, fuyant la plaine...
La, la, la, la...
