Je n′ai jamais ete aussi heureux que ce matin la Nous marchions sur une plage Un peu comme celle-ci C′etait I′automne
Un automne ou il faisait b.eau Une saison qui n′existe que dans le Nord de I′Amerique La-bas on I′apelle I′ete Indien Mais c′etait tout simplement le notre Avec ta robe longue Tu ressemblais a une aquarelle de Marie Laurence . . . Et je me souviens
Je me souviens tres bien de ce que je t′ai dit ce matin la ll y a un an
ll y a un siecle ll y a une eternite
On ira ou tu voudras quand tu voudras Et I′on s′aimera encore lorsque I′amour sera mort Toute la vie Sera pareille a ce matin Aux couleurs de I′ete Indien
Aujourd′hui je suis tres loin de ce matin d′automne Mais c′est comme si j′y etais.
Je pense a toi Oil est-tu Que fais-tu Est-ce que j′existe encore pour toi Je regarde cette vague Qui n′atteindra jamais la dune Tu vois comme elle je reviens en arriere Comme elle je me couche sur le sable et je me souviens Je me souviens des marees hautes Du soleil et du bonheur qui passait sur la mer ll y a une eternite Un siecle ll y a un an.
Elle m′a confié pour l′été sa plante verte, une violette africaine, Elle m′a fait la bise et puis elle est parti comme une fleur, vers une plage lointaine Elle nous avait planté là, ma plante et moi ensemble, je l′arrosais Pendant toute la belle saison on patientait à l′ombre, on attendait
Ma plante perdait ses pétales et moi je dormais mal, c′était septembre Nous vivions à petit feu, nous attendions tout les deux, lasses d′attendre Je la négligeais un peu, elle ne m′en voulait pas, elle comprenait On passait des folles nuits devant notre télé, on s′amusait
Ma violette africaine Fleurs de printemps s′en viennent, s′en vont On retrouve dans la peine Ses compagnons des quatre saisons
Nous étions abandonnés, et comme les nuits d′hiver se faisaient longues Je ramenais à la maison des copains, des chiens perdus, des vagabondes Et ma plante vivait d′mégots et d′épingles à cheveux, elle se fanait Elle se penchait vers la vitre, guettant sa maîtresse ou un peu de soleil
Le printemps a mis longtemps à m′apporter une gentille demoiselle Elle m′a rebrisé le coeur; elle a rangé mes placards et mis ma plante à la poubelle Mais j′ai sauvé ma camarade, elle a reintégré sa cheminée On n′oublie pas ses amis à cause d′une amourette qui vient à passer
Ma violette africaine Fleurs de printemps s′en viennent, s′en vont On retrouve dans la peine Ses compagnons des quatre saisons
