Un premier amour, premier amour, premier amour Ne s'oublie jamais, s'oublie jamais, s'oublie jamais Un premier amour on le cherche toujours Dans d'autres amours toute sa vie on court après Il nous a troublé et fait rêver, et fait trembler Ce premier amour, premier amour, premier amour Mais l'enfant qu'on est, l'enfant qu'on est resté Frémira toujours au souvenir de cet amour Et toi, et toi que j'aimais Qu'as-tu fait de toi, qu'as-tu fait sans moi Et moi, moi qui t'ai perdu, qu'ai-je fait de plus Qu'ai-je fait de tant de bonheur, savions nous d'ailleurs Qu'un premier amour, premier amour, premier amour Ne s'oublie jamais, s'oublie jamais, s'oublie jamais Qu'un premier amour on le cherche toujours Dans d'autres amours toute sa vie on court après De tous ces baisers qu'on s'est volés plus que donnés Ces gestes innocents nous engageaient pour si longtemps Non les enfants d'alors que nous étions encore N'ont pas soupçonné tant ils étaient émerveillés Qu'un premier amour, leur premier amour, était si fort
