Seul sur le sable
Les yeux dans l'eau
Mon rêve était trop beau
L'été qui s'achève, tu partiras
À cent mille lieues de moi
Comment oublier ton sourire?
Et tellement de souvenirs

Nos jeux dans les vagues près du quai
Je n'ai vu le temps passer
L'amour sur la plage désertée
Nos corps brûlés, enlacés
Comment t'aimer si tu t'en vas
Dans ton pays loin là-bas, bas-bas-bas?

Hélène things you do
Make me crazy 'bout you
Pourquoi tu pars, reste ici
J'ai tant besoin d'une amie
Hélène things you do
Make me crazy 'bout you
Pourquoi tu pars si loin de moi
Là où le vent te porte, loin de mon cœur qui bat!

Hélène things you do
Make me crazy 'bout you
Pourquoi tu pars, reste ici
Reste encore juste une nuit!

Seul sur le sable
Les yeux dans l'eau
Mon rêve était trop beau
L'été qui s'achève, tu partiras
À cent mille lieues de moi
Comment t'aimer si tu t'en vas
Dans ton pays loin là-bas?
Dans ton pays loin là-bas
Dans ton pays loin de moi
