Oh, Marie, si tu savais Tout le mal que l'on me fait Oh, Marie, si je pouvais Dans tes bras nus me reposer Évanouie, mon innocence Tu étais pour moi ma dernière chance Peu à peu, tu disparais Malgré mes efforts désespérés Et rien ne sera jamais plus pareil J'ai vu plus d'horreurs que de merveilles Les hommes sont devenus fous à lier Je donnerais tout pour oublier Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, Marie, si tu savais Tout le mal que l'on me fait Oh, Marie, si je pouvais Dans tes bras nus me reposer Et je cours toute la journée Sans savoir où je vais Dans le bruit, dans la fumée Je vois des ombres s'entretuer Demain ce sera le grand jour Il faudra faire preuve de bravoure Monter au front en première ligne Oh, Marie, je t'en prie, fais-moi un signe Oh, oh, oh, oh Allongé dans l'herbe, je m'éveille J'ai vu la mort dans son plus simple appareil Elle m'a promis des vacances La mort m'a promis sa dernière danse Oh, Marie, si tu savais Tout le mal que l'on m'a fait Oh, Marie, j'attendrais Qu'au ciel tu viennes me retrouver Oh, Marie, j'attendrais Qu'au ciel tu viennes me retrouver
