Jérusalem Composer(s): M. Chabrier; Jo Moutet Performer(s): Edith Piaf
Seul... Dans le désert et brûlé par le soleil De Jérusalem, de Jérusalem Seul... Un homme en blanc, au loin, assiste au réveil De Jérusalem, de Jérusalem
Dans Ses yeux, il y a bonté du monde Dans Son cur, il y a tout l'amour du monde Dans Ses mains, il y a la magie du monde Tout l'univers est là grâce à Lui dans ce désert
Et l'Homme seul Transfiguré, va, guidé par l'oiseau blanc Vers Jérusalem, vers Jérusalem Là... Il marche parmi les soldats et les gens De Jérusalem, de Jérusalem
Dans les yeux, il y a la misère du monde Dans les curs, il y a la douleur du monde Dans leurs mains, il y a la colère du monde Mais l'Homme en blanc sourit le regard posé sur eux
Le tambour bat Pour announcer que s'accomplit le destin De Jérusalem, de Jérusalem Car... Un homme est tombé sur les pierres du chemin De Jérusalem, de Jérusalem
Dans Ses yeux, il y a le pardon du monde De Son cur, se répand tout l'amour du monde De Ses mains, a surgi la Lumière du monde C'est un soleil nouveau qui renaît dans le soleil...
