Oh, douce nuit d'Alger
Quand la brise se lève
Et caresse mon rêve
D'un parfum d'oranger
Je voudrais que le jour
Plus jamais ne se lève
Comme paraissent brèves
Les minutes d'amour

Je sens au fond de mon coeur
Une force qui m'attire
Tout me parle de bonheur
Chaque étoile est un sourire

Oh douce nuit d'alger
Quand la brise se lève
Et caresse mon rêve
D'un parfum d'oranger

Cachant la tête sous une aile
les oiseaux se sont endormis
dans l'air une fraîcheur nouvelle
renait enfin voici la nuit

oh douce nuit d'alger
quand ta brise se lève
et caresse mon rêve
d'un parfum d'oranger.
