Un jour les voyous de MarseilleM'ont fait goûter à leur bouteilleAu fond d'un bistrot mal faméOù j'attendais de m'embarquerIls m'ont raconté leurs voyagesEt de bastringue en bastingageIls m'ont saoulé de tant de bruitQue je ne suis jamais parti{Refrain:}Marseille,
Tais-toi MarseilleTu cries trop fortJe n'entends pas claquerSes voiles dans le portJe vais lire devant les agencesLes noms des bateaux en partanceC'est fou,
je connais leurs cheminsMieux que les lignes de ma mainAdieu les amours en gondoleLes nuits de Chine,
les acropolesLa terre de France à mes souliersC'est comme des fers bien verrouillés{au Refrain}Je vends mon histoire aux touristesOn fait des sous quand on est triste...Les escudos et les dollarsRien de meilleur pour le cafardPourtant j'ai toujours dans ma pocheUn vieux billet qui s'effilocheC'est tout mon rêve abandonné...Je n'ose pas le déchirer.{au Refrain}
