Riquita
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A java il était né
Un' poupée,
Une poupée si jolie
Qu'on eu dit
Un bijou ou un joujou
Qu'on adore et qui rend fou.
Un étranger en passant,
La voyant,
Lui dit : viens donc à paris
Ma jolie !
Les plaisir et les désirs
Te feront reine ou démon !
{refrain:}
Riquita,
Jolie fleur de java,
Viens danser,
Viens donner des baisers.
Tes grands yeux langoureux ensorcellent,
Ton doux chant émouvant nous appelle
Riquita joli rêve d'amour
On voudrait te garder pour toujours !
Et tout paris acclama
Riquita !
Elle vie dans la folie
De l'orgie.
Un regard de ses beaux yeux
Fait d'un homme un malheureux !
A tout l'monde, ell' se promet
Et jamais
Son cœur n'a pu se donner
Ni aimer
Elle rit, quand vous pleurez,
Elle pleur' quand vous chantez!
{refrain}
Etranger, toi qui m'as dit
Qu'à paris
Je trouverais le bonheur,
Moi, j'en meurs !
J'ai gardé la nostalgie,
Du ciel bleu de mon pays
Ah! ce qu'ils m'ont fait souffrir,
Vos plaisirs !
Laissez moi, je veux partir
Ou mourir
Cette nuit, un ange blond
M'a chanté votre chanson !
