Le cœur d'une ville inconnueSe livre au hasard
des ruesJ'étais l'étranger venu là pour un soirEt
soudain j'ai croisé un regardCe n'était rien rien
qu'un passantIl m'a sourit sur mon chemin comme
un amiJe ne sais pas pourquoi je garde
encore l'imageDe ce visage plein de chaleurPerdu dans
la foule tranquilleJe suis resté immobileIl s'est retourné
un instantEt de loin j'ai pu voir s'agiter
une mainCe n'était rien rien qu'un adieuOu un
bonjour donné de loinLà sur mon cheminMais tous
les mots n'auraient pu m'en dire davantageQue ce
visage plein de chaleurAmi lointainJe ne sais rienNi
de ta ville ni de ton nomMais j'ai
gardéTon souvenir qui chanteEncore dans ma mémoireEt la
chaleur de ton regard
