Les Adieux du Gondolier
Language: French (Français) 
Adieu, tu vas quitter Venise,
adieu ma belle, et pour longtemps ;
que la Madonne te conduise
et protège tes jeunes ans.
Mais dans ta course aventureuse
surtout ne va pas oublier
l'humble rive où tu fus heureuse
et le refrain du Gondolier.
Lalala ...

Cesse de craindre pour ta mère,
son appui désormais c'est moi ;
j'irai souvent dans sa chaumière
la voir et lui parler de toi.
Si parfois elle était pensive,
je chanterais pour légayer,
et la barcarolle naive
et le refrain du Gondolier.
Lalala ...

Adieu, je rejoins ma gondole,
ô ma belle, ne pleure pas !
Que l'espérance nous console,
elle dit que tu reviendras
et tu retrouveras ta mère
le toît chéri le vieux noyer
notre rendez-vous solitaire
et le refrain du Gondolier.
Lalala ...
