La vie qui danse à l'orientale
La vie qui dit : "M'entendez-vous"
Le feu à nos sandales
Le feu de dieu qui nous rend fous
La mer immense horizontale
La mer qui prie, l'entendez-vous?
Le vent qui tend les voiles
Le vent souvent fait des jaloux
La vie qui danse à l'orientale
La vie qui rit, l'entendez-vous?
De bal en bacchanales
Cymbales et tambourins qui rythment tout
L'amour romance à l'orientale
L'amour est sourd l'entendez-vous?
Scander les fiançailles
Scander l'accord des cœurs la corde au cou
Moité fourmi moité mygale
La mort attend l'entendez-vous?
La mort beauté tzigane
Qui porte notre alliance à tous les coups
Et du coran à la kabbale
La vie survit l'entendez-vous?
Vitrail de cathédrale
Sérail sans serrure et sans tabou
La vie est orientale
La vie qui danse et met partout
Le feu à nos sandales
Le feu de dieu qui nous rend fous
