Sous la tonnelle,
qu'elle était belleLa demoiselle de paradis sur merDes yeux lavandes,
un sourire tendreMais l'air d'attendreTous les soleils d'enferToi,
tu ne voyais qu'elle,
rien qu'ellePas moiMoi qui ne regardais jamais que toi{Refrain:}C'était hier,
c'était ailleursLa grande guerre des petits bonheurs :|Sous la tonnelle,
s'en moquait-elleLa demoiselle de paradis sur merSombre et lointaineComme une reine d'histoire ancienneMais le cœur bien sûre d'elleTu en mourrais d'espoir,
regards,
soupirsJ'en mourrais de chagrin,
sans rien te dire{au Refrain,
x2}
