Triste elle est prête à tout Pour rien, pour tout Dans la ronde des fous elle pleure tout doux L'amour a tué les mots qui la touchent, touchent Contre ta bouche elle veut qu'on la couche Triste elle fait la grimace, Devant sa glace D'un coup du cœur enlace l'ombre qui passe Et rien jamais n'effacera les traces, lâches Du sang qui coule des corps qui se cassent Adieu Tristana Ton cœur a pris froid Adieu Tristana Dieu baisse les bras Laissez-la partir Laissez-la mourir Ne le dites pas Tristana, c'est moi! Triste sort Tristana Tu sais, crois-moi Trois petits tours, elle s'en va La vie comme ça Les plus beaux jours s'achèvent dans la peine, haine Pourquoi faut-il payer de ses veines Adieu Tristana Ton cœur a pris froid Adieu Tristana Dieu baisse les bras Laissez-la partir Laissez-la mourir Ne le dites pas Tristana, c'est moi!
