Ile à privileges vos herbes sont en fleur blottie dans leurs corps blancs En dansant sous trois feuilles Vos reines m'attendent Ile à privileges Le vent libre des temps Fait passer sur vos sables A l'ombre d'un nuage Des soupirs tourbillons Ile à privileges Vos reines se reposent Aux cachettes des sources En tenant une fleur Ornée de Papillons Puis s'endorment plus pâles Gardées par des oiseaux Ile à privileges, Ile à privileges.
