Salut, c'est encore moi! Salut, comment tu vas? Le temps m'a paru très long Loin de la maison j'ai pensé à toi J'ai un peu trop navigué Et je me sens fatigué Fais-moi un bon café J'ai une histoire à te raconter Il était une fois quelqu'un Quelqu'un que tu connais bien Il est parti très loin Il s'est perdu, il est revenu Salut, c'est encore moi! Salut, comment tu vas? Le temps m'a paru très long Loin de la maison j'ai pensé à toi Ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba Ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba Tu sais, j'ai beaucoup changé Je m'étais fait des idées Sur toi, sur moi, sur nous Des idées folles, mais j'étais fou Tu n'as plus rien à me dire Je ne suis qu'un souvenir Peut-être pas trop mauvais Mais jamais plus je ne te dirai Salut, c'est encore moi! Salut, comment tu vas? Le temps m'a paru très long Loin de la maison j'ai pensé à toi Ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba Ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
