Un jour je ferai mon grand cerf-volant 
Un côté rouge, un côté blanc, un côté tendre 
Un jour je ferai mon grand cerf-volant 
J´y ferai monter vos cent mille enfants, ils vont m´entendre 
Je les vois venir du soleil levant 

Puis j´attellerai les chevaux du vent 
Un cheval rouge, un cheval blanc, un cheval pie 
Puis j´attellerai les chevaux du vent 
Et nous irons voir tous les océans s´ils sont en vie 
Si les océans sont toujours vivants 

Par-dessus les bois, par-dessus les champs 
Un oiseau rouge, un oiseau blanc, un oiseau-lyre 
Par-dessus les bois, par-dessus les champs 
Qui nous mènera chez le mal méchant pour le détruire 
Bombe de silence et couteau d´argent 

Nous mettrons le mal à feu et à sang 
Un soleil rouge, un soleil blanc, un soleil sombre 
Nous mettrons le mal à feu et à sang 
Un nuage monte, un autre descend, un jour sans ombre 
Puis nous raserons la ville en passant 

Quand nous reviendrons le cœur triomphant 
Un côté rouge, un côté blanc, un côté homme 
Quand nous reviendrons le cœur triomphant 
Alors vous direz : "Ce sont nos enfants, quel est cet homme 
Qui les a menés loin de leurs parents?" 

Je remonterai sur mon cerf-volant 
Un matin rouge, un matin blanc, un matin blême 
Je remonterai sur mon cerf-volant 
Et vous laisserez vos cent mille enfants chargés d´eux-mêmes 
​Pour jeter les dés dans la main du temps
