Nous n'irons plus jamais
Où tu m'as dit "je t'aime"
Nous n'irons plus jamais
Tu viens de décider
Nous n'irons plus jamais
Ce soir c'est plus la peine
Nous n'irons plus jamais
Comme les autres années

Capri, c'est fini
Et dire que c'était la ville de mon premier amour
Capri, c'est fini
Je ne crois pas que j'y retournerai un jour
Capri, c'est fini
Et dire que c'était la ville de mon premier amour
Capri, c'est fini
Je ne crois pas que j'y retournerai un jour

Nous n'irons plus jamais
Où tu m'as dit je t'aime
Nous n'irons plus jamais
Comme les autres années
Parfois je voudrais bien
Te dire, "recommençons"
Mais je perds le courage
Sachant qu'tu diras non

Capri, c'est fini
Et dire que c'était la ville de mon premier amour
Capri, c'est fini
Je ne crois pas que j'y retournerai un jour
Capri, c'est fini
Et dire que c'était la ville de mon premier amour
Capri, c'est fini
Je ne crois pas que j'y retournerai un jour

Nous n'irons plus jamais
Mais je me souviendrai
Du premier rendez-vous
Que tu m'avais donné 
Nous n'irons plus jamais
Comme les autres années
Nous n'irons plus jamais
Plus jamais, plus jamais

Capri, c'est fini
Et dire que c'était la ville de mon premier amour
Capri, c'est fini
Je ne crois pas que j'y retournerai un jour
Capri, oh c'est fini
Et dire que c'était la ville de mon premier amour
Capri, oh c'est fini
Je ne crois pas que j'y retournerai un jour

Oh Capri oh c'est fini
Et dire que c'était la ville de mon premier amour
Oh Capri, c'est fini
Je ne crois pas que j'y retournerai un jour
Oh Capri oh c'est fini
Et dire que c'était la ville de mon premier amour
Capri, c'est fini
Je ne crois pas que j'y retournerai un jour
