Il me reste un pays à te dire Il me reste un pays à nommer Il est au tréfonds de toi N’a ni président ni roi Il ressemble au pays même Que je cherche au coeur de moi Voilà le pays que j’aime Il me reste un pays à prédire Il me reste un pays à semer Vaste et beau comme la mer Avant d’être découvert Puis ne tient pas plus de place Qu’un brin d’herbe sous l’hiver Voilà mon jeu et ma chasse Il te reste un pays à connaître Il te reste un pays à donner C’est un pont que je construis De ma nuit jusqu’à ta nuit Pour traverser la rivière Froide, obscure, de l’ennui Voilà le pays à faire Il me reste un nuage à poursuivre Il me reste une vague à dompter Homme, un jour tu sonneras Cloches de ce pays-là Sonnez, femmes, joies et cuivres C’est notre premier repas Voilà le pays à vivre Il nous reste un pays à surprendre Il nous reste un pays à manger Tous ces pays rassemblés Feront l’homme champ de blé Chacun sème sa seconde Sous l’amour qu’il faut peler Voilà le pays du monde Il nous reste un pays à comprendre Il nous reste un pays à changer
