Mon ami m'a quittée Je vous le dis Ça devait arriver à moi aussi Je le voyais rêver d'une autre fille depuis longtemps Mon ami est ailleurs Je ne sais ou Au près d'un autre cœur Et loin de nous À cueillir d'autre fleurs Et d'autres rendez-vous Moi je regarde les vagues Dont la mer écrase les rochers Et je voudrais que le calme Vienne habiter ma solitude Il m'a quittée Je vous le dis Oui c'est arrivée à moi aussi À force de rêver d'une autre fille depuis longtemps Mon ami m'a quitté C'est trop facile C'est la fin de l'été Soleil fragile Les bateaux sont rangés Pour un meilleur avril Moi je regarde les vagues Dont la mer écrase les rochers Et je voudrais que le calme Vienne habiter ma solitude Il m'a quittée À la fin de l'été Il m'a quittée Mon ami m'a quittée Je vous le dis Oui c'est arrivé à moi aussi J'ai fini de rêver du moins pour aujourd'hui
