A mes pas le plus doux chemin
Mène à la porte de ma belle,
-- Et, malgré qu'elle soit rebelle,
J'y veux encor passer demain.

Il est tout fleuri de jasmin
Au temps de la saison nouvelle.
-- Et malgré qu'elle soit rebelle,
J'y passe, des fleurs à la main.

Pour toucher son cœur inhumain
Je chante ma peine cruelle,
Et, malgré qu'elle soit rebelle,
C'est pour moi le plus doux chemin !
