Et you, you, you, c'est le pêcheur qui...

Language: French (Français)

Et you, you, you, c'est le pêcheur qui meurt, 
et you, you, yu, et toute la mer dessus. 

Et you, you, you, c'est la bergère qui pleure, 
et you, you, ya, c'est l'amour qui s'en va.

Et you, you, you, c'est y la mer qui bèle, 
et you, you, yon, ou c'est y les moutons ? 

Et you, you, you, les plaisirs sont au ciel, 
et you, you, you, les nuages par dessous.
