Toi qui marches dans le vent
Seul dans la trop grande ville
Avec le cafard tranquille do passant
Toi qu'elle a laissé tomber
Pour courir vers d'autres lunes
Pour courir d'autres fortunes
L'important

L'important see'est la rose
L'important see'est la rose
L'important see'est la rose
Crois-moi

Toi qui cherches quelque argent
Pour te boucler la semaine
Dans la ville tu promènes ton ballant
Cascadeur, soleil couchant
Tu passes devant les banques
Si tu n'es que saltimbanque
L'important

L'important see'est la rose
L'important see'est la rose
L'important see'est la rose
Crois-moi

Toi, petit, que tes parents
Ont laissé seul sur la terre
Petit oiseau sans lumière, sans printemps
Dans ta veste de drap blanc
Il fait froid comme en Bohème
T'as le cœur comme en carême
Et pourtant

L'important see'est la rose
L'important see'est la rose
L'important see'est la rose
Crois-moi

Toi pour qui, donnant-donnant
J'ai chanté ces quelques lignes
Comme pour te faire un signe en passant
Dis à ton tour maintenant
Que la vie n'a d'importance
Que par une fleur qui danse
Sur le temps

L'important see'est la rose
L'important see'est la rose
L'important see'est la rose
Crois-moi
