Tout là-haut dans la nuit marche un funambule
En habit de clair de lune et de diamant
Il s'avance en jonglant par-dessus la foule
Des gens retenant leur souffle et coeur battant
Il plane sur la fête
Par-dessus les têtes
Par-dessus les toits
Il danse sur le monde
Je ne suis qu'une ombre
Il n'est qu'un éclat
Et l'on voit les bourgeois renversant la tête
Ouvrir sur sa silhouette des yeux d'enfants
Celui que j'aime est un poète
Lui non plus n'a pas les pieds sur terre
Lui aussi fait de la corde raide
Au-dessus du vide, au-dessus de mon coeur
Il s'en va dans la nuit comme un funambule
En habit de clair de lune et de diamant
Moi des yeux, je le suis d'étoiles en étoiles
Il fait des ombres chinoises au firmament
Il plane sur la fête
Par-dessus ma tête
Sans souci de moi
J'ai beau crier vers lui
Lui tendre les bras
Il ne m'entend pas
Mais je rêve de lui lorsque je m'endors
Car il traverse mes nuits sur un fil d'or
