Sur ma vie, je t'ai juré un jour De t'aimer jusqu'au dernier jour de mes jours, Et le même mots devait très bientôt Nous unir devant dieu et les hommes Sur ma vie, je t'ai fait le serment Que ce lien tiendrait jusqu'à la fin de temps Ainsi nous vivions ivres de passion Et mon cœur voulait t'offrir mon nom Près des orgues qui chantaient Face à dieu qui priait Heureux je t'attendais Mais les orgues se sont tues Et dieu a disparu, car Tu n'es pas venue Sur ma vie, j'ai juré que mon cœur Ne battrait jamais pour aucun autre cœur Et tout est perdu car il ne bat plus Mais il pleure mon amour déçu Sur ma vie, je t'ai juré un jour De t'aimer jusqu'au dernier jour de mes jours Et même à présent Je tiendrai serment Malgré tout, le mal que tu m'as fait Sur ma vie, cherie Je t'aimerai
