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
Dancing to the feel of the drum Leave this world behind We′ll have a drink and toast to ourselves Under a violet Moon
Tudor rose with her hair in curls Will make you turn and stare Try to steal a kiss at the bridge Under a violet Moon
Raise your hats and your glasses too We will dance the whole night throught We′re going back to a time we knew Under a violet Moon
Cheers to the knights and days of olde the beggars and the thieves living in an enchanted wood Under a violet Moon
Fortuneteller what to you see Future in a card? Share your secrets, tell them to me Under a Violet Moon

Era feliz en su matrimonio Aunque su marido era el mismo demonio Tenia el hombre un poco de mal genio Ella se quejaba de que nunca fue tierno Desde hace ya mas de tres aУos Recibe cartas de un extraУo Cartas llenas de poesia Que le han devuelto la alegria Quien te escribia a ti versos dime niУa quien era Quien te mandaba flores por primavera Quien cada nueve de noviembre Como siempre sin tarjeta Te mandaba un ramito de violetas A veces sueУa ella y se imagina Como sera aquel que a ella tanto la estima Sera mas bien hombre de pelo cano Sonrisa abierta y ternura en sus manos Quien sera quien sufre en silencio Quien puede ser su amor secreto Ella que no sabe nada Mira a su marido y luego se calla Quien te escribia a ti versos dime niУa quien era Quien te mandaba flores por primavera Quien cada nueve de noviembre Como siempre sin tarjeta Te mandaba un ramito de violetas Y cada tarde al volver su esposo Cansado del trabajo va y la mira de reojo No dice nada porque lo sabe todo Ella es asi feliz de cualquier modo Porque el es quien le escribe versos El es su amante, su amor secreto Ella que no sabe nada Mira a su marido y luego se calla Quien te escribia a ti versos dime niУa quien era Quien te mandaba flores por primavera Quien cada nueve de noviembre Como siempre sin tarjeta Te mandaba un ramito de violetas
