Il y avait à San Cristina Deux jolis yeux qui s'ennuyaient, Pourtant les hommes j'imagine A San Cristina leur souriaient On aurait dit qu'à San Cristina Sous le ciel rose de juillet, Cachés dans l'ombre des colines De San Cristina ils m'attendaient C'était la fin de mes vacances, Mais quand ils ont croisé les liens Dans ces yeux là j'ai vu d'avance Que le bonheur me disait : viens? Et le soir même à San Cristina On a pu voir sous le ciel bleu, Bercés par la brise marine De San Cristina, deux amoureux ! Il y avait à San Cristina Un vieux clocher qui s'ennuyaient De ne sonner que les mâtines Quand San Cristina se réveillait Mais après cette nuit divine On l'entendit sonner un jour Même jusqu'aux villes voisines De San Cristina pour notre amour Je vois la mariée que j'importe Et le petit chalet de bois Dont je lui fais franchir la porte En la tenant entre mes bras? Si vous passez par San Cristina Vous verrez que je ne mens pas, Et que le bonheur compte double Quand on le trouve à San Cristina !
