A Calais , à Calais
Dans la rue qui mène tout droit
Vers les quais , de Calais
J'avais quatorze ans et déjà
Je rêvais , que j'allais
Où partaient tant de cargaisons
A Calais , à calais
Dans le grand livre des découvertes
Que j'avais , à Calais
La mer semblait tellement plus verte
Je rêvais , je rêvais
A l'histoire de Christophe Colomb
Ah ! découvrir l'Amérique
Etre Colombe , avoir des ailes
Ah ! découvrir l'Amerique
L'offrir à Dona Isabelle
Guitares affolées
Vous pouvez bien jouer
Dans le fond des tavernes
On entend bien plus fort
Les hommes sur le port
Et les vents de Galerne
Et dans tout Barcelone
Les marins et les nonnes
Les vieilles aux balcons
Regardent sans y croire
Les vaisseaux que prépare
Ce Christophe Colomb
Moi, j'avais ma mère
Qui me disait
Mets le couvert , va te peigner
Cesse de faire bouger tes pieds
Moi , derrière mes fenêtres
Zébrées de pluie
Pleurant peut-être
De tant d'ennui
Je rêvais d'être
Mousse où vigie
Ah ! découvrir l'Amérique
Etre Colombe , avoir des ailes
Ah ! découvrir l'Amerique
L'offrir à Dona Isabelle
Guitares faites silence
Les bateaux en errance
Sont au bord du naufrage
Les démons de l'enfer
Font bouillonner la mer
Le long des bastingages
Au cœur de la tempête
Les hommes ont à leur tête
Des mutins insolents
Mais dans le lit de pie
On entend la vigie
Qui crie Terre devant
Ah ! c'est donc ça l'Amérique
Vue de l'avant d'une Caravelle
Ah ! c'est donc ça l'Amérique
Elle est pour Dona Isabelle
A calais , à calais
J'ai fini par être docker
Comme on fait , à Calais`
Quand on ne sait plus trop quoi faire
Et qu'on sait , à Calais
Que l'on n'est pas Christophe Colomb
Mais par lui , grâce à lui
J'ai un peu trouvé l'Amérique
Même si , même si
Il est mort en chien famélique
Et que moi , et que moi
Ce sera tout pareil à lui
A Calais , ou ailleurs
Même que je m'en fait un honneur
