10. Et s'il revenait un jour  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
Et s'il revenait un jour,
Que faut-il lui dire?
- Dites-lui qu'on l'attendit
Jusqu'à s'en mourir...

Et s'il m'interroge encore
Sans me reconnaître?
- Parlez-lui comme une sœur. 
Il souffre peut-être...

Et s'il demande où vous êtes
Que faut-il répondre?
- Donnez-lui mon anneau d'or,
Sans rien lui répondre...

Et s'il veut savoir pourquoi
La salle est déserte?
- Montrez-lui la lampe éteinte
Et la porte ouverte...

Et s'il m'interroge alors
Sur la dernière heure?
- Dites-lui que j'ai souri
De peur qu'il ne pleure...
