Gondolier du Rialto
Mon château 
C'est la lagune,
Mon jardin c'est le Lido.
Mon rideau, 
Le clair de lune.

Gondolier du grand canal,
Pour fanal 
J'ai la croisée
Où s'allument tous les soirs,
Tes yeux noirs, 
Mon épousée.

Ma gondole est aux heureux :
Deux à deux, 
Je la promène,
Et les vents légers et frais
Sont discrets 
Sur mon domaine.

J'ai passé dans les amours,
Plus de jours 
Et de nuits folles,
Que Venise n'a d'îlots
Que ses flots 
N'ont de gondoles.
