{Choeurs:}
Mea culpa, mea culpa
Mea maxima culpa

Les yeux bleus d' la Fraülein de Berlin
Tout juste mariée du matin
M'attendaient à ma sortie de scène
"J' m'appelle Marlène"

Ce fut une belle histoire d'amour
Qui n'a pas dépassé Hambourg
Au petit jour

J'étais fou amoureux d'une étoile
Mais la passion, les journaux à scandale...
J'ai coupé l' cordon du téléphone
What now, my love ?

La blessure de la séparation
J' l'ai soignée par une chanson
J' te d'mande pardon

{Choeurs:}
Mea culpa, mea culpa
Mea maxima culpa

Allumeuses ou croqueuses de finances
Plus souvent oubliées d' la chance
Des amours, Lili, porte-bonheur
Des coups de coeur
J'en ai eu de toutes les églises
Et le remords, quoi qu'on en dise
Ça cicatrise

{Choeurs:}
Mea culpa, mea culpa
Mea maxima culpa

J' suis qu'un pauvre pêcheur, confiteor
Un abonné des courriers du corps
J' fais l'amour en dolby stéréo
Et puis dodo
Tout le reste est littérature
Et la seule vérité qui dure
C'est l'aventure

{Choeurs}
Mea culpa, mea culpa
Mea maxima culpa
