Il suffira d'un signe, un matin
Un matin tout tranquille et serein
Quelque chose d'infime, c'est certain
C'est écrit dans nos livres, en latin

Déchirer nos guenilles de vaurien
Les fers à nos chevilles loin bien loin
Tu ris mais sois tranquille un matin
J'aurai tout ce qui brille dans mes mains

Regarde ma vie tu la vois face à face
Dis moi ton avis que veux-tu que j'y fasse
Nous n'avons plus que ça au bout de notre impasse
Le moment viendra tout changera de place

Il suffira d'un signe, un matin
Un matin tout tranquille et serein
Quelque chose d'infime, c'est certain
C'est écrit dans nos livres, en latin

Et tu verras que les filles, oh oui tu verras bien
Auront les yeux qui brillent, ce matin
Plus de faim, de fatigues, des festins
De miel et de vanille, et de vin

Déchirer nos guenilles de vaurien
Les fers à nos chevilles loin bien loin
Tu ris mais sois tranquille un matin
J'aurai tout ce qui brille dans mes mains

L'acier qui nous mutile du satin
Nos blessures inutiles au lointain
Nous ferons de nos grilles des chemins
Nous changerons nos villes en jardins
