by Émile Albert Kayenberg (1860 - 1929), as Albert Giraud
Valse de Chopin
Language: French (Français)
Comme un crachat sanguinolent, De la bouche d'une phtisique, Il tombe de cette musique Un charme morbide et dolent. Un son rouge - du rêve blanc Avive la pâle tunique, Comme un crachat sanguinolent De la bouche d'une phtisique. Le thème doux et violent De la valse mélancolique Me laisse une saveur physique, Un fade arrière-goût troublant, Comme un crachat sanguinolent.
