Il faut nous aimer sur terre. Il faut nous aimer vivants. Ne crois pas au cimetière. Il faut nous aimer avant. Ma poussière et ta poussière deviendront le gré des vents.

Language: French (Français)
Les sorciers et les fées dansent sur le côteau leurs pas brûlants font des huit noirs sous les méteils, ils dansent de la nuit venue au jour nouveau pour honorer le saint qui rourrit les abeilles. Et sept nuits et sept jours ils font la ronde encor jusqu'au huitième soir où géantes cigales les fées jouent de la flûte et les sorciers du cor pour honorer le dieu qui nourrit les étoiles.

Language: French (Français)
Le diable court dans la nuit, avec des yeux d'rubis, avec sa p'tite fourchette fait la chasse aux souris, Il en tue trois cent mille, les jette à l'abreuvoir, allume sa p'tite fourchette et fait cuire le potage, Il le fera manger aux amants malappris qui ne pensent qu'à rire et tout l'jour se pourlichent, Et quand auront vomi leurs cœurs à l'abreuvoir avec sa p'tite fourchette il en fera des écuelles qu'il attachera, toutes, à sa queue verdoyante, pour faire du bruit, du bruit, pendant les nuits d'orage.

Language: French (Français)
Si toutes les filles du monde voulaient s'donner la main, tout autour de la mer elles pourraient faire une ronde. Si tous les gars du monde voulaient bien êtr' marins, ils f'raient avec leurs barques un joli pont sur l'onde. Alors on pourrait faire une ronde autour du monde, si tous les gens du monde voulaient s'donner la main.
