Lyrics
Au temps des légendes anciennes
Avant que l'homme blanc ne vienne
Vivait une jeune orpheline
Un jour une flamme trop vive
Que le vent souffla de la rive
Lui vola sa beauté divine
Ce cri résonna dans la plaine
La terre et le vent se souviennent
De son courage et de sa peine
Elle s'appelait
Oochigeas...
Elle s'appelait
Oochigeas...
Dans un des villages voisins
Vivait un prince magicien
Qui fit la promesse impossible
D'unir sa vie et son histoire
à celle qui pourrait le voir
Lui que l'on savait invisible
Toutes les filles du village
Ne virent là-bas que son mirage
Et la seule à voir son visage
Elle s'appelait
Oochigeas...
Elle s'appelait
Oochigeas...
