4. Li‑'Si  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
Dans les jardins du palais, la brise
caresse les jeunes fleurs des lotus.
Etendu parmi les coussins de soie
qui diaprent la terrasse, l'Empereur se repose.
Li-Si, la belle favorite, danse,
plus légère que la première écharpe de brume,
plus brillante que la première étoile.
Elle vient de se coucher près du souverain.
Ses paupières battent, ses hanches ondulent.
Maintenant, elle baisse les yeux sous le regard impérial.

5. Pluie de printemps  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
Elle est venue ranimer les jardins,
la bonne petite pluie qui sait toujours quand la nature a besoin d'elle.
Discrète, appliquée, silencieuse, elle a mouillé toutes choses, finement.

Hier soir, des nuages avaient envahi le ciel. L'obscurité était effrayante . 
Comme d’immenses yeux de fauves, les fanals des barques luisaient.

Ce matin, dans une pure lumière, éclatent les couleurs du jardin bien lavé.
Je contemple ses fleurs, qui me font évoquer le parc impérial
où je me promenais, jadis.
