J'avais dessiné sur le sable
Son doux visage qui me souriait
Puis il a plu sur cette plage
Et dans cet orage, elle a disparu

Et j'ai crié, crié, Aline, pour qu'elle revienne
Et j'ai pleuré, pleuré, oh, j'avais trop de peine

Je me suis assis près de son âme
Mais la belle dame s'était enfuie
Je l'ai cherchée sans plus y croire
Et sans un espoir, pour me guider

Et j'ai crié, crié, Aline, pour qu'elle revienne
Et j'ai pleuré, pleuré, oh, j'avais trop de peine

Et j'ai crié, crié, Aline, pour qu'elle revienne
Et j'ai pleuré, pleuré, oh, j'avais trop de peine

Je n'ai gardé que ce doux visage
Et comme une épave sur le sable mouillé

Et j'ai crié, crié, Aline, pour qu'elle revienne
Et j'ai pleuré, pleuré, oh, j'avais trop de peine

Et j'ai crié, crié, Aline, pour qu'elle revienne
Et j'ai pleuré, pleuré, oh, j'avais trop de peine
