Mi ritornano di notte dei pensieri tutti miei Dei ricordi dell'infanzia, profumati come mai Io ricordo la mia scuola, la mia strada, la città E le canzoni che cantavo di Trenet o di Ferrat Dolce Francia, caro paese d'infanzia Mi hai cullata di speranza e ti ho presa nel moi cuor La mia casa che tranquilla ci aspettava Ogni sera si sognava, senza l'ombra di un timor Io ti amo e ti dedico 'sto brano Io ti amo, nella gioia e nel dolor Dolce Francia, caro paese d'infanzia Mi hai cullata di speranza e ti ho presa nel mio cuor Oggi vado per il mondo, sotto mille celi blu È incantevole e rotondo da Venezia a Tombouctou Ma i miei più cari ricordi vengono tutti da te Dai tuoi verdi paesaggi, i tuoi villaggi, i tuoi caffè Dolce Francia, caro paese d'infanzia Mi hai cullata di speranza e ti ho presa nel mio cuor La mia casa che tranquilla ci aspettava E mia madre sorrideva, senza l'ombra di un timor Io ti amo e ti dedico 'sto brano Io ti amo nella gioia e nel dolor Dolce Francia, caro paese d'infanzia Mi hai cullata di speranza e ti ho presa nel mio cuor Sì, ti ho presa nel mio cuor
