Les bacchantes
Language: French (Français)
Filles d'Athor, folles Bacchantes, Dansez en vous donnant la main, Suivez le choeur des Corybantes Au bruit des Crotales d'airain. Les loups et les panthères Cachés au fond des bois A notre voix Quittent leurs antres solitaires. Bravons le ciel en feu, Le plaisir seul est Dieu! Ah! Filles d'Athor, folles Bacchantes, Dansez en vous donnant la main, Suivez le choeur des Corybantes Au bruit des Crotales d'airain.
