Un jour,Tu t'marres.Un jourOù y'en aura marre,Cartons,
valises.On sentira la p'tite brise,Départ,
départ,Emus,
serrés,
dans cette gare.Un jour,Bye bye.Plus d'grimace,Plus d'lullaby.Un jour que t'espèresComme de l'eau qui deshaltère.Au bout des rails,La jolie maison d'Portbail.C'est pour toi,
cet air discutable,Toi qui disQue l'amour est une chose variable,Ici.Là-bas,
dans l'Cotentin,
j'te jure mon amour :J'f'rai tout pour que nos baisers durent toujours.T'as peurQu'on meureD'un arrêt commun du cœur.Tu trouves qu'étoile,C't'un métier qui fait du mal.Tu veux qu'on s'sauveDans la vérité des choses.Je saisQue tu saisQu'on n'ira sûrement jamais,Que les vagues,
les landes,C'est des lampions,
des guirlandes,Qu'on reste toujoursVissé à quelque chose de lourd.J'aurais mis des p'tits brins d'bruyèreSur ton cœur,Toi qui trouves que pour un garçonJ'aime trop les fleurs,Les fleurs...
