by Philippe Gaubert (1879 - 1941)

1. Et you, you, you [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français)

Et you, you, you, c'est le pêcheur qui meurt, 
et you, you, yu, et toute la mer dessus. 

Et you, you, you, c'est la bergère qui pleure, 
et you, you, ya, c'est l'amour qui s'en va.

Et you, you, you, c'est y la mer qui bèle, 
et you, you, yon, ou c'est y les moutons ? 

Et you, you, you, les plaisirs sont au ciel, 
et you, you, you, les nuages par dessous.

3. Les paroles que tu m'as dites [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français)

Les paroles que tu m'as dites, 
c'est le vent qui les a prises, 
les paroles que tu m'as dites, 
le vent les rapportera. 

Elles étaient tout en épines, 
c'est le vent qui les a prises,
il les passera sur la mer, 
elles seront douces comme l'huile. 

Elles étaient trop noires, trop grises, 
c'est le vent qui les a prises,
il les mêlera au soleil, 
rose et or les rapportera ! 

Et bouche d'or je t'appellerai, 
et bouche rose on t'appellera,
et bouche rose je t'appellerai, 
et bouche d'or on t'appellera !
