Tombe la neige
Tu ne viendras pas ce soir
Tombe la neige
Et mon cœur s'habille de noir
Ce soyeux cortège
Tout en larmes blanches
L'oiseau sur la branche
Pleure le sortilège

Tu ne viendras pas ce soir
Me crie mon désespoir
Mais tombe la neige
Impassible manège

La, lalala, lalala, lalala
Ouh

Tombe la neige
Tu ne viendras pas ce soir
Tombe la neige
Tout est blanc de désespoir

Triste certitude
Le froid et l'absence
Cet odieux silence
Blanche solitude

Tu ne viendras pas ce soir
Me crie mon désespoir
Mais tombe la neige
Impassible manège
Mais tombe la neige
Impassible manège

La, lalala, lalala, lalala
Ouh

La, lalala, lalala, lalala
Ouh
