Guide au bord ta nacelle,
Ô fille du pêcheur:
Viens causons chère belle
Ton cœur près de mon cœur.

Sur mon sein qui t'invite
Repose ton front sans peur...
Tu te livres si vite
A l'océan trompeur...

Pareil aux mers sauvages,
Mon cœur sombre et profond
A son flux, ses orages
Mais une perle au fonde.
Viens !... Viens causons tout bas ma belle
Viens ! Viens ! 
Ton cœur près de mon cœur. 
Viens ! Viens ! Viens !

Reviens à ta chaumière,
L'astre du soir reluit,
L'amour, cher au mystère,
Fuit la foule et le bruit.

Retiens sous ton empire
Mon cœur fixe désormais, ...
Dissipe son délire
Viens le rendre à la paix...

Ah ! des flots de la vie 
J'ai connu la fureur
Au naufragé qui prie 
Ouvre un port en ton cœur.
Viens ! Viens ! Toujours soit mon amie
Viens ! Viens ! 
Sans toi pas de bonheur!
Viens ! Viens ! Viens !
