Elle rit et moi je pleure
Elle rêve et moi je prie
Elle danse et moi j'en meurs
J'en crève et je suis content
Mon dimanche c'est Manon
Son soleil c'est mon printemps
Manon c'est de l'eau et moi je l'aime
Je meurs de soif près de la fontaine
L'amour Manon m'a ouvert les veines
Toute l'eau du ciel tombe dans mes yeux
Je t'aime je t'aime
Murmurent les sources bleues
Je ne suis qu'un paysan
Un pauvre faiseur d'abeilles
Un quêteur de mauvais temps
Un vendangeur de merveilles
Mais moi j'irais comme un chien
Je marcherai dans ton port
L'hiver quand t'iras pas bien
Je me coucherai sur toi
Ma fortune mon nom
