Our translations: ENG
Encor sur le pavé sonne mon pas nocturne ; Ô Paris, tu me vois marcher À l'heure où l'on entend, dans l'ombre taciturne, La charrette du maraîcher. Paris! Ô noir dormeur ! Paris ! Chant sur l'enclume Et sourire dans les sanglots. Que ne suis-je couché lorsque Vesper s'allume, Sous les varechs au bord des flots !
