On jouait tous les soirs
A des jeux amusants
Moi, le cavalier noir
Et moi, la dame en blanc
Tu devenais jolie
Et de plus en plus distrait
Je suivais nos parties
Mais m’amuser m’usait 
Mu’sait ho, ho
On disait qu’on jouait
Que c'était rigolo
Mais chaque jour j’avais
Le coeur un peu plus gros
Je n'étais pas de bois
Et s'est noue le drame
Je sentais que le roi
S’éprenait de la dame
T’amenais ton awale
Et j’amenais mon go
Tes autos et mes poupées
Soldats, petits chevaux
Les enfants ne se font jamais
Que des petits bobos
Ils disent: “ j’ai pas fait exprès
De pousser les dominos!”
T’amenais ton awale
Et j’amenais mon go
On a changé d’histoire
On est devenus grands
Mais, j’ai dans ma mémoire
Tous nos jeux innocents
Toujours aussi jolie
Dis-moi, as-tu trouve

Dame en blanc, dans ta vie
Un nouveau cavalier?
Si le temps, la distance
Ne nous avaient séparés
Avec un peu de chance
Un jour t’aurais gagne
J’aurais gagne, ok
Mia c’est sans importance
On ne peut pas rattraper
Tant d'années de silence
T’amenais ton awale
Et j’amenais mon go
Tes autos et mes poupées
Soldats, petits chevaux
Les enfants ne se font jamais
Que des petits bobos
La vie des hommes est semée
De malheurs bien plus gros
Si on sait pas ou aller
Pour retrouver le repos
Amene ton awale
Et j’amènerai mon go
