Est-ce par espérance
Ou est-ce par désespoir
Tu as quitté ta terre
Pour travailler ici
Maintenant tu découvres
Dans tes soirs de solitude
Sous le regard des autres
Que tu es différent
Refrain
Il est là, là, il est en toi, en toi, le pays
Et tu dis, c'est sur, je reviendrai,
Là-bas, si je peux,
Oui
Tu écoutes des musiques
Et des chansons de là-bas
Coeur serré tu les chantes
Sur ton lit dans le noir
La langue de ta mère
Elle ne t'intéressait pas
Maintenant tu veux l'apprendre
Tu n'as plus honte de toi
Refrain
Dans un bar tu retrouves
D'autres enfants de là-bas
Vous faites dans vos rêves
Un pays plus beau qu'il n'est.
Refrain
