Je voudrais baiser tes yeux, 
  Tes grands yeux de flamme, 
Je voudrais baiser tes yeux.

Je croirais toucher les cieux,
  Et boire ton âme,
Je croirais toucher les cieux,

 ... 

Car ton âme est dans tes yeux,
  Ton âme de femme, 
Car ton âme est dans tes yeux.

Mais pourquoi tant de rigueur
  Approche tes lèvres
Mais pourquoi tant de rigueur ?

Donne-moi ta bouche en fleur,
  Apaise mes fièvres,
Donne-moi ta bouche en fleur !

Je croirai baiser ton cœur
  En baisant tes lèvres
Je croirai baiser ton cœur !
