Les paroles que tu m'as dites, c'est le vent qui les a prises, les paroles que tu m'as dites, le vent les rapportera. Elles étaient tout en épines, c'est le vent qui les a prises, il les passera sur la mer, elles seront douces comme l'huile. Elles étaient trop noires, trop grises, c'est le vent qui les a prises, il les mêlera au soleil, rose et or les rapportera ! Et bouche d'or je t'appellerai, et bouche rose on t'appellera, et bouche rose je t'appellerai, et bouche d'or on t'appellera !
