Dans le temps, j’attendais ma belle Au coin des rues, le cœur battant. Dans le temps, j’attendais ma belle, L’écolière que j’aimais tant. J’ai conquis l’amour de ma belle Dans un grand bois, le cœur battant. J’ai conquis l’amour de ma belle, La coquette que j’aimais tant. J’ai perdu les yeux de ma belle, Avec des cris, le cœur battant. J’ai perdu les yeux de ma belle Sans penser que je l’aimais tant. Et j’ai pleuré, pleuré ma belle De longues nuits, le cœur battant. J’ai pleuré l’amour de ma belle, Ce soir encore, je l’aime tant.
