Histoire d'antan
Paroles et musique : G.Jean
Sur une montagne dans un pays lointain Vivait une belle aux longs cheveux châtains Puis un beau jour dans ce pays lointain
Un troubadour un'guitare à la main
Est arrivé en chantant ce refrain
Ce refrain
REF:
Quand il y aura plus de soleil Quand les étoiles auront sommeil Quand l'eau de mer voudras voler Moi je ne voudrais plus t'aimer
Sur la montagne un jour il est allé Devinez donc ce qu'il a pu trouver La belle châtaine assise sur un rocher Il a voulu tout de suite l'épouser
Et d'une voix
douce il se mit à chanter
À chanter
REF
Et le jour même dans une petite chapelle Il a promis à la terre et au ciel
De ne jamais, jamais quitter sa belle
Et quand ils sont sortis de la chapelle L'orgue entonnait ce refrain éternel Éternel
