{x2:}
Sait-on jamais ce qui nous arrive
Quand on s'en va, quand on dérive ?
On ne sait rien
De la proie ni de l'ombre
L'ombre qu'on chasse,
On ne sait rien
De la proie ni de l'ombre,
La proie qu'on lâche
Que m'est-il arrivé ?
J'ai dérivé
Jusqu'à la rive
D'un lac très lent
Vers un grand cygne
Qui m'a fait signe
De venir et de signer
Là
En bord de marge
Sur ce rivage
Blanc de nuages mais clément
Clément de ciel bas
Mon temps depuis
Bat
La mesure à quatre lents
Bras
Sait-on jamais ce qui nous arrive
Quand on s'en va, quand on dérive ?
On ne sait rien
De la proie ni de l'ombre
On ne sait rien
De la proie ni de l'ombre
L'ombre qu'on cherche et qu'on trouve, que veux-tu
On ne sait rien
De la proie ni de l'ombre
La proie qu'on lâche, qu'on pousse et qu'on tue
La proie qu'on lâche, qu'on pousse
