by Wilhelm Albert Włodzimierz Apolinary Kostrowicki (1880 - 1918), as Guillaume Apollinaire

Puisque les jours nous abandonnent
Language: French (Français) 
Puisque les jours nous abandonnent
Comme une guirlande fanée
Cherchons ailleurs une couronne
Abandonnée

Sera-ce un nimbe ou l'auréole
De nos transfigurations
Une lumière ou le symbole
Des passions

Des passions qui furent flammes
Et qui brûlèrent notre cœur
Tel vient un cortège de femmes
A l'air vainqueur
