J'ai souvent pensé c'est loin la vieillesse
Mais tout doucement la vieillesse vient
Petit à petit par délicatesse
Pour ne pas froisser le vieux musicien
Si je suis trompé par sa politesse
Si je crois parfois qu'elle est encor loin
Je voudrais surtout qu'avant m'apparaisse
Ce dont je rêvais quand j'étais gamin
Ah qu'il vienne au moins le temps des cerises
Avant de claquer sur mon tambourin
Avant que j'aie dû boucler mes valises
Et qu'on m'ait poussé dans le dernier train
Bien sûr on dira que c'est des sottises
Que mon utopie n'est plus de saison
Que d'autr' ont chanté le temps des cerises
Mais qu'ils ont depuis changé d'opinion
Moi si j'ai connu des années funestes
Et mes cerisiers des printemps pourris
Je n'ai pas voulu retourner ma veste
Ni me résigner comme un homme aigri
Ah qu'il vienne au moins le temps des cerises
Avant de claquer sur mon tambourin
Avant que j'aie dû boucler mes valises
Et qu'on m'ait poussé dans le dernier train
Tant que je pourrai traîner mes galoches
Je fredonnerai cette chanson-là
Que j'aimais déjà quand j'étais gavroche
Quand je traversais le temps des lilas
Que d'autres que moi chantent pour des prunes
Moi je resterai fidèle à l'esprit
Qu'on a vu paraître avec la Commune
Et qui souffle encore au cœur de Paris
Ah qu'il vienne au moins le temps des cerises
Avant de claquer sur mon tambourin
Avant que j'aie dû boucler mes valises
Et qu'on m'ait poussé dans le dernier train
