Nous grandimes ensemble
Je n'avais d'yeux plus que pour toi
Enfin tu quittas la bande
Et un beau jour tout arriva
Dans ton rire de lumiere
Contre l'olivier tu m'enlacas
Dans les lavandes claires
Mon premier baiser tu me donnas

Un triste soir de novembre
Tu me dis devoir rentrer chez toi
S'efface notre carte du tendre
La sardane se fige de froid
Seule, je reste a t'attendre
Parcourant ces pages de Llorca
Pour qui en notre monde
Amour heureux il n'y a pas
