Les amis
Language: French (Français)
Viens, les vins vont aux plages, Et les flots par millions! Vois le Bitter suavage Rouler du haut des monts! Gagnons, pèlerins sages, L'absinthe aux verts piliers... MOI: Plus ces paysages. Qu'est l'ivresse, Amis? J'aime autant, mieux, même, Pourrir dans l'étang, Sous l'affreuse crème, Près des bois flottants.

Přátelé
Language: Czech (Čeština) after the French (Français)
Pojď, víno už se valí, a stéká za obzor! Hle, kořalka se pálí, řítíc se v proudech z hor! My poutníkové malí, bychom tam putovali. Kořalka rozum kalí, nechoďte, přátelé! Raději zhynu v louži, v páchnoucím močálu, kde utopenci krouží okolo brčálu.
