Lyrics ▼

Quand on a que l'amour
A s'offrir en partage
Au jour du grand voyage
Qu'est notre grand amour
Quand on a que l'amour
Mon amour toi et moi
Pour qu'éclatent de joie
Chaque heure et chaque jour

Quand on a que l'amour
Pour vivre nos promesses
Sans nulle autre richesse
Que d'y croire toujours

Quand on a que l'amour
Pour meubler de merveilles
Et couvrir de soleil
La laideur des faubourgs

Quand on a que l'amour
Pour unique raison
Pour unique chanson
Et unique secours

Quand on a que l'amour
Pour habiller matin
Pauvres et malandrins
De manteaux de velours

Quand on a que l'amour
A offrir en prière
Pour les maux de la terre
En simple troubadour

Quand on a que l'amour
A offrir à ceux là
Dont l'unique combat
Est de chercher le jour

Quand on a que l'amour
Pour tracer un chemin
Et forcer le destin
A chaque carrefour

Quand on a que l'amour
Pour parler aux canons
Et rien qu'une chanson
Pour convaincre un tambour

Alors sans avoir rien
Que la force d'aimer
Nous aurons dans nos mains
Amis le monde entier
