Le long du fleuve qui remonte
Par les rives de la rencontre,
Aux sources d'émerveillement,
On voit dans le jour qui se lève
S'ouvrir tout un pays de rêve,
Le tendre pays des amants.
On part avec le coeur qui tremble,
Du bonheur de partir ensemble,
Sans savoir ce qui nous attend.
Ainsi commence le voyage
Semé d'écueils et de mirages,
De l'amour et de ses tourments.
Quelques torrents de médisance
Viennent déchirer le silence
Essayant de tout emporter,
Et puis on risque le naufrage
Lorsque le vent vous amène au large
Des îles d'infidélité.
Plus loin le courant vous emporte
Vers les rochers de la discorde
Et du mal à se supporter.
Enfin la terre se dénude:
C'est le désert de l'habitude.
L'ennui y a tout dévasté.
Quand la route paraît trop longue,
Il y a l'escale du mensonge,
L'auberge de la jalousie.
On y déjeune de rancune
Et l'on s'enivre d'amertume.
L'orgueil vous y tient compagnie,
Mais quand tout semble à la dérive,
Le fleuve roule son eau vive
Et l'on repart à l'infini
Où l'on découvre au bord du Tendre
Le jardin où l'on peut s'étendre,
La terre promise de l'oubli, l'oubli.
