You can help us modernize! The present website has been online for a very long time and we want to bring it up to date. As of May 6, we are $2,380 away from our goal of $15,000 to fund the project. The fully redesigned site will be better for mobile, easier to read and navigate, and ready for the next decade. Please give today to join dozens of other supporters in making this important overhaul possible!

Dis‑moi n'importe quoi ! porte‑moi...

Language: French (Français) 

Dis-moi n'importe quoi ! porte-moi n'importe où !
Tout me plaira pourvu que ton désir le veuille.
Pour moi, je ne sais plus vouloir et je suis fou.
Tu seras l'ouragan et je serai la feuille.

Porte-moi n'importe où ! dis-moi n'importe quoi !
Quel que soit le pays, l'instant et ton caprice,
Je ne verrai que toi, je n'entendrai que toi.
Le monde est un théâtre où toi seule es l'actrice.

Dis-moi n'importe quoi ! porte-moi n'importe où !
Je ferai sans remords tes volontés sans cause.
Tout ! rien ! n'importe quoi ! n'importe où ! Je suis fou.
Je ne suis plus un homme, un moi. Je suis ta chose.

Mon cœur n'a plus de vœux. Ton désir est le sien.
Tu m'as versé le vin d'amour plein ma timbale.
Comme l'initié du grand mystère ancien,
J'ai mangé du tambour et bu de la cymbale.
