(Fernando Arbex) adaptation française Michel Jourdan
Quand le ciel sera moins gris, il me tendra les bras
Un jour comme un ami, il nous reviendra
Mais je veux déjà chanter pour toi.
Oh, soleil soleil, soleil soleil, soleil soleil.
Oh, soleil soleil, soleil soleil, soleil soleil.
Viens, sors enfin de la nuit et l'hiver s'en ira
Viens, toi qui fait de la pluie un grand feu de joie.
On n'attend que toi, réveille-toi.
Oh, soleil soleil, soleil soleil, soleil soleil.
Oh, soleil soleil, soleil soleil, soleil soleil.
Quand le ciel sera moins gris, il me tendra les bras
Un jour comme un ami, il nous reviendra
Mais je veux déjà chanter pour toi.
Oh, soleil soleil, soleil soleil, soleil soleil.
Oh, soleil soleil, soleil soleil, soleil soleil.
Viens, sors enfin de la nuit et l'hiver s'en ira
Viens, toi qui fait de la pluie un grand feu de joie.
On n'attend que toi, réveille-toi.
Oh, soleil soleil, soleil soleil, soleil soleil.
Oh, soleil soleil, soleil soleil, soleil soleil.
