On est bien peu de chose Et mon amie la rose Me l'a dit ce matin A l'aurore je suis née Baptisée de rosée Je me suis épanouie Heureuse et amoureuse Aux rayons du soleil Me suis fermée la nuit Me suis réveillée vieille Pourtant j'étais très belle Oui, j'étais la plus belle Des fleurs de ton jardin On est bien peu de chose Et mon amie la rose Me l'a dit ce matin Vois le dieu qui m'a faite Me fait courber la tête Et je sens que je tombe Et je sens que je tombe Mon cœur est presque nu J'ai le pied dans la tombe Déjà je ne suis plus Tu m'admirais hier Et je serai poussière Pour toujours demain On est bien peu de chose Et mon amie la rose Est morte ce matin La lune cette nuit A veillé mon amie Moi en rêve j'ai vu Eblouissante et nue Son âme qui dansait Bien au-delà des nues Et qui me souriait Crois celui qui peut croire Moi, j'ai besoin d'espoir Sinon je ne suis rien Ou bien si peu de chose C'est mon amie la rose Qui l'a dit hier matin
