Et que le grand vent se levera
Le ciel se couvrira de nuages
Rouge et tres bas
Ce sera le temps ou chacun tremblera
Ce sera le temps ou chacun se souviendra
Il arrivera
Ce sera le temps ou chacun se souviendra
Il arrivera
Alors tous les hommes
et les femmes de tous les pays
Fermeront leurs portes et
Se sauveront dans leurs abris
Ce sera le temps ou chacun tremblera
Ce sera le temps ou chacun se souviendra
Il arrivera
Ce sera le temps ou chacun tremblera
Ce sera le temps ou chacun se souviendra
Il arrivera
Ilfera tres sombre
Pendant quarante nuits et quarante jours
Et dans la penombre
Sa lumiere luiras toujours
Ce sera le temps ou chacun tremblera
Ce sera le temps ou chacun se souviendra
Il arrivera
Ce sera le temps ou chacun tremblera
Ce sera le temps ou chacun se souviendra
Il arrivera
Quand la nuit tombera
Et que le grand vent se levera
Le ciel se couvrira de nuages
Rouge et tres bas
Ce sera le temps ou chacun tremblera
Ce sera le temps ou chacun se souviendra
Il arrivera
Ce sera le temps ou chacun tremblera
Ce sera le temps ou chacun se souviendra
Il arrivera
Ce sera le temps ou chacun tremblera
Ce sera le temps ou chacun s'apercevoit
Il arrivera
