Pauvre P'tit Pierre
Language: French (Français) 
Adieu, Mère chérie,
Le vaisseau part de main,
Je quitte de la patrie
Pour un pays lointain !

Lorsque je t'abandonne,
Ô Mère, bénis moi !
En baisant la Madone
Je croirai que c'est toi.

Au lever des étoiles,
En te nommant à Dieu,
Je déploirai les voiles,
Alors, ma Mère, adieu !

Le vent du soir s'élève,
Je serai seul là-bas,
Mais la nuit dans un rêve
Tu me tendras les bras !

Adieu, ma pauvre Mère,
Cache moi bien les pleurs,
Il te reste mon frère
Pour calmer tes douleurs.

Quand grondera l'orage,
Priez tous deux pour moi
Là-bas seul à mon âge,
Ô ma Mère, sans toi.
