N'est-il pas vrai Marie que c'est prier pour vous
Que de lui dire «Je t'aime» en tombant à genoux?
N'est-il pas vrai Marie que c'est prier pour vous

Que semer nos chemins, de simple poésie?
N'est-il pas vrai Marie que c'est chanter pour vous
Que voir en chaque chose, une chose jolie
Que chanter pour l'enfant qui bientôt nous viendra
C'est chanter pour l'Enfant qui repose en vos bras?

N'est-il pas vrai Marie?
N'est-il pas vrai Marie?
