Deux Poèmes de Jean Cocteau

by Henri-Pierre Poupard (1901 - 1989), as Henri Sauguet

1. Îles  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
A Palma de Majorque
Tout le monde est heureux
On mange dans la rue
Des sorbets au citron
Des fiacres plus jolis
Que des violoncelles
Vous attendent au port
Pour vous mettre à l´hôtel
Racontez-moi encore
Palma des Baléares
Je ne connais qu´une île
Au milieu de la Marne
Elle est petite en tôle
Comme un tir de la foire
Mon cœur est l´œuf qui danse
Sur le haut du jet d´eau
Monsieur le photographe
Un oiseau va sortir
La noce qui s´embarque
Je reste seul sauvage
Marquises Carolines
Votre nom sur la carte
Grave le mien dans l´arbre
Près de la balançoire
Express et paquebots
Qui bercent nos voyages
Ce sont les bateaux-mouche
Et les trains de plaisir
