Elle a vendu mon cœur
Pour une chanson :
Vends mon cœur à la place, 
Ô colporteur
À la place de la chanson.

Tes chansons étaient blanches,
La mienne est couleur de sang ;
Elle a vendu mon cœur, ô colporteur,
Elle a vendu mon cœur en s'amusant.

Et maintenant chante mon cœur
Sur les places, aux carrefours,
Tu feras pleurer, colporteur,
En racontant mon grand amour,

Pendant qu'elle fera rire
Les gens à sa noce venus
En chantant la chanson pour rire,
Pour qui elle a mon cœur vendu.
