D'où viens-tu, gitan ?
Je viens de Bohème.
D'où viens-tu, gitan ?
Je viens d'Italie,
Et toi, beau gitan ?
De l'Andalousie,
Et toi, vieux gitan, d'où viens-tu ?
Je viens d'un pays qui n'existe plus...

REFRAIN
Les chevaux rassemblés le long de la barrière
Le flanc gris de poussière
Le naseau écumant,
Les gitans sont assis près de la flamme claire.
Qui jette à la clairière
Leurs ombres de géants,
Et dans la nuit
Monte un refrain bizarre,
Et dans la nuit
Bat le coeur des guitares.
C'est le chant des errants qui n'ont pas de frontière,
C'est l'ardente prière
De la nuit des gitans.

Où vas-tu gitan ?
Je vais en Bohème.
Où vas-tu, gitan ?
Revoir l'Italie,
Et toi, beau gitan ?
En Andalousie.
Et toi, vieux gitan, mon ami ?
Je suis bien trop vieux, moi je reste ici...

REFRAIN
Avant de repartir pour un nouveau voyage
Vers d'autres paysages
Sur des chemins mouvants,
Laisse encore un instant vagabonder ton rêve
Avant que la nuit brève
Le réduise à néant.
Chante, gitan,
Ton pays de Cocagne ;
Chante gitan,
Ton château en Espagne.
C'est le chant des errants qui n'ont pas de frontière,
C'est l'ardente prière
De la nuit des gitans.

CODA
De la nuit des gitans.
