Dans son quartier du vieux Québec Les rues ont l'air d'avoir l'accent Et l'an deux mille voisine avec Les maisons grises du vieux temps Mais l'hiver vient d'éclater Le Saint-Laurent est prisonnier D'un décembre qui va bien durer six mois Quand les jours ressemblent aux nuits Sans éclaircie à espérer Qui peut croire que l'été nous reviendra Moi, j'avais le soleil Jour et nuit dans les yeux d'Émilie Je réchauffais ma vie à son sourire Moi, j'avais le soleil Nuit et jour dans les yeux de l'amour Et la mélancolie au soleil d'Émilie Devenait joie de vivre Dans son quartier du vieux Québec Quand les toits redeviennent verts Quand les enfants ont les pieds secs On tourne le dos à l'hiver C'est la fête du printemps Le grand retour du Saint-Laurent On dirait que les gens sortent de la terre Mais Émilie n'est plus à moi J'ai froid pour la première fois Je n'ai plus ni sa chaleur, ni sa lumière Moi, j'avais le soleil Jour et nuit dans les yeux d'Émilie Je réchauffais ma vie à son sourire Moi, j'avais le soleil Nuit et jour dans les yeux de l'amour Et la mélancolie au soleil d'Émilie Devenait joie de vivre En ce temps-là j'avais le soleil Jour et nuit dans les yeux d'Émilie Je réchauffais ma vie à son sourire Moi, j'avais le soleil Nuit et jour dans les yeux de l'amour Et la mélancolie au soleil d'Émilie Devenait joie de vivre
