by Séverin Faust (1872 - 1945), as Camille Mauclair

Minute
Language: French (Français) 
Ô ma fille, ouvre la porte, 
Il y a quelqu'un qui heurte ! 
— Je ne peux pas aller ouvrir, 
Je lisse mes cheveux devant mon miroir. 

Oh ! ouvre la porte, ma fille, 
Il y a quelqu'un qui défaille ! 
— Je ne peux pas aller voir qui c'est,
Je mets des rubans à mon corset. 

La porte, ô ma fille, ouvre ! 
Je suis vieux, j'ai les jambes lourdes...
— Je ne peux pas aller regarder, 
Père, j'agrafe mes colliers. 

Un homme peut-être est mort 
Derrière la porte, au vent du dehors !
— S'il était beau, je l'aurais senti : 
Mes seins n'ont pas tressailli.
