Dans ce port nous étions des milliers de garçons
Nous n'avions pas le cœur à chanter des chansons
L'aurore était légère, il faisait presque beau
C'était la première fois que je prenais le bateau
L'Algérie
Ecrasée par l'azur
C'était une aventure
Dont on ne voulait pas
L'Algérie
Du désert à Blida
C'est là qu'on est parti jouer les p'tits soldats
Aux balcons séchaient draps et serviettes
Comme en Italie
On prenait de vieux trains à banquettes
On était mal assis
L'Algérie
Même avec un fusil
C'était un beau pays
L'Algérie
Ce n'était pas un port à faire du mélo
Et pourtant je vous jure que j'avais le cœur gros
Quand ils ont vu le quai s'éloigner, s'éloigner
Y en a qui n'ont pas pu s'empêcher de pleurer
L'Algérie
Ecrasée par l'azur
C'était une aventure
Dont on ne voulait pas
L'Algérie
Du désert à Blida
C'est là qu'on est parti jouer les p'tits soldats
Nos fiancées nous écrivaient des lettres
Avec des mots menteurs
Le soir on grillait des cigarettes
Afin d'avoir moins peur
L'Algérie
Même avec un fusil
C'était un beau pays
L'Algérie
Un port ce n'est qu'un port, mais dans mes souvenirs
Certains soirs malgré moi je me vois revenir
Sur le pont délavé de ce bateau prison
Quand Alger m'a souri au bout de l'horizon
L'Algérie
Ecrasée par l'azur
C'était une aventure
Dont je ne voulais pas
L'Algérie
Du désert à Blida
C'est là que j'étais parti jouer les p'tits soldats
Un beau jour je raconterai l'histoire
A mes petits enfants
Du voyage où notre seule gloire
C'était d'avoir vingt ans
L'Algérie
Avec ou sans fusil
Ca reste un beau pays
L'Algérie
