{Refrain:}
On vous souhaite tout le bonheur du monde
et que quelqu'un vous
la main, que votre chemin
les bombes, qu'il
vers de calmes jardins.
On vous souhaite tout le bonheur du monde, pour aujourd'hui comme pour
demain
que votre soleil
l'ombre, qu'il
d'amour au
quotidien.
Puisque l'avenir vous
, puisqu'on ne
pas
votre destin
que votre envol est pour demain comme tout ce qu'on a à vous offrir
ne saurait toujours vous suffire dans cette liberté à venir
