Un enfant a demandé
Si je pouvais l'emporter
Sur mes ailes, sur mes ailes
Je suis un grand cygne blanc
Et je lui ai répondu
Apprends d'abord à compter
Car il faut vous raconter
Un matin à mon réveil
Des ailes m'avaient poussé
Et je me suis envolé
Comme il ne s'en allait pas
Ce petit enfant de la terre
Je lui ai confié tout bas
La raison de mon mystère
Il suffit de le vouloir
Cygne blanc ou cygne noir
Tout cela peut arriver
Il a fait ce que j'ai dit
Et quand il s'est réveillé
Des ailes lui avaient poussé
Je suis un grand cygne heureux
Levez les yeux, vous me verrez
Poudré, nacré, vêtu de blanc
Je traverse le monde ainsi
Je vois les hommes sur la terre
Se déchirer, à quoi ça sert
S'ils avaient fait ce que j'ai dit
Ils seraient cygne aussi
Je suis un grand cygne blanc
Poudré, nacré, vêtu d'été
Sur mes ailes je peux porter
Un petit enfant tout entier
Mais je préfère raconter
L'histoire qui fut la mienne
Vous la savez, elle est ancienne
Dont j'ai perdu la clef
Je vois les hommes sur la terre
Se déchirer, à quoi ça sert
S'ils avaient fait ce que j'ai dit
Ils seraient cygne aussi
S'ils avaient fait ce que j'ai dit
Ils seraient cygne aussi
