Loin très loin du monde
Où rien ne meurt jamais
J'ai fait ce long,
Ce doux voyage,
Nos âmes se confondent
Aux neiges éternelles
L'amour cachait
Son vrai visage

Oh viens, ne sois plus sage
Après tout qu'importe
Je sais la menace
Des amours mortes
Gardons l'innocence
Et l'insouciance
De nos jeux d'antan, troublants.

N'aie pas de regret
Fais moi confiance, et pense
A tous les no way
L'indifférence des sens
N'aie pas des regret
Fais la promesse,tu sais que
L'hiver et l'automne n'ont pu s'aimer

Debout la tête ivre
Des rêves suspendus
Je bois à nos amours
Infirmes
Au vent que je devine
Nos lèvres éperdues
S'offrent des noces
Clandestines

N'ouvre pas la porte
Tu sais le piège
De tous les remords
De l'anathème
Je me fous des saisons
Viens je t'emmène
Là, où dorment ceux qui s'aiment.

N'aie pas de regret
