Notre bonheur est merveilleux. Notre amour fait plaisir à Dieu. Il est plus pur, il est plus clair Que l'eau limpide des rivières. Mon coeur étouff' quand tu es là. Ne touche pas à tout cela ! {Refrain:} Si un jour, Tu brisais notre amour, Si un jour, Tu partais pour toujours, Tout sombrerait dans la nuit. Les oiseaux, dans leurs nids, Ne chanteraient plus Leurs chants éperdus. Si un jour, Tu brisais notre amour, Si un jour, Tu partais sans retour, Les fleurs perdraient leur parfum Et ce serait la fin de toute joie. Reste avec moi. Crois-moi, c'est vrai : J'en mourrais si tu partais. Tes yeux pour moi sont bien plus beaux Qu'un rayon de lune dans l'eau. Lorsque tu pars quelques instants, C'est comme la neige au printemps. Tu reviens, tu me tends les bras. Ne touche pas à tout cela ! {Refrain}
