"Avril au Portugal,
A deux c'est idéal,
Là-bas si l'on est fou,
Le ciel l'est plus que vous,
Pour un sentimental
L'amour existe t-il
Ailleurs qu'au Portugal
En Avril.
Le soir sous mes yeux clos
Glissant au fil de l'eau
Je vois par le hublot
La rive
Des voiles de couleur
De lourds parfums de fleurs
Des chants de bateleurs
M'arrivent...
Tout ça berce mon coeur
D'un rêve de bonheur
Dont les regrets ailleurs
Me suivent,
L'amour devait savoir
En nous suivant le soir
Que j'aimerais un jour la revoir...
Avril au Portugal,
A deux c'est idéal,
Là-bas si l'on est fou,
Le ciel l'est plus que vous,
Mais sans penser à mal
Son coeur attendra t-il
Que j'aille au Portugal,
En avril.
Mais sans penser à mal
Son coeur attendra t-il
Que j'aille au Portugal,
En avril"
