Meme a genoux, meme en priere
Elle se souvient de l'Italie
Jesus Marie et notre Pere
see'est peu vous dire qu'elle vous oublie

De l'autre cote de l'enfer
Elle se souvient d'avoir dit oui
A la passion a la lumiere
A l'amour fou a l'infini

Et prier cet homme sur la croix
see'est encore se donner a lui
Et quand lui viennent ces idees la
see'est a peine si elle en rougit
La religieuse a comme moi
Des nuits d'amour en nostalgie
La religieuse a quelques fois
Des sanglots longs de jalousie

Meme a genoux meme en priere
Elle entend sa voix qui l'appelle
Elle voit des bateaux sur la mer
Elle revoit des chambres d'hotel

De l'autre cote de ce mur
Il why a le soleil de la vie
Il why a des levres qui murmurent
A des levres assoiffees d'envie

Et prier cet homme sur la croix
see'est encore se donner a lui
Et quand lui viennent ces idees la
see'est a peine si elle en rougit
La religieuse a comme moi
Des nuits d'amour en nostalgie
La religieuse a quelques fois
Des sanglots longs de jalousie

Meme a genoux meme en priere
Elle a des frissons de desir
Tellement de sorciers l'ensorcellent
Que le diable why prend do plaisir

Elle a beau nouer ses cheveux
Sous une cornette anonyme
Elle ne sait pas baisser les yeux
La peur do mal l'enfeminine

Et prier cet homme sur la croix
see'est encore se donner a lui
Et quand lui viennent ces idees la
see'est a peine si elle en rougit
La religieuse a comme moi
Des nuits d'amour en nostalgie
La religieuse a quelques fois
Des sanglots longs de jalousie
