Comme l'oiseau de paradis
Brûlant de mille pierreries
L'amour argile, l'amour fragile
Entre nos mains naît à la vie
Précieux joyau d'orfèvrerie
Il devient selon nos envies
Amour cristal, amour opale
Amour émeraude ou rubis
Il est aigle et le colibri
Au gré de notre fantaisie
Le gris moineau, le noir corbeau
L'oiseau de l'empereur d'Asie
Aux quatre coins des ciels de lit
Il vient hanter nos insomnies
Mais en lit-cage, l'oiseau sauvage
Ne vit jamais toute une vie
Voici que sifflotent, la nuit
Les flèches de la jalousie
A tire d'aile se fait la belle
L'amour blasé, l'amour meurtri
Mais voilà, comme par magie
Qu'un autre oiseau de paradis
Un autre amour a vu le jour
Au treizième coup de minuit
