2. Derrière Murcie en fleurs [sung text checked 1 time]
Derrière Murcie en fleurs je connais un chemin qui mène jusqu'à toi parmi les orangers Que fais-tu toute seule si loin si loin si loin... Pourquoi t'ai-je quittée Ah! si tu me voyais tu t'assiérais en pleurs parmi les grenadiers Que fais-tu toute seule si loin si loin si loin...

Un grand sommeil noir Tombe sur ma vie : Dormez, tout espoir, Dormez, toute envie ! Je ne vois plus rien, Je perds la mémoire Du mal et du bien... Ô la triste histoire ! Je suis un berceau Qu'une main balance Au creux d'un caveau : Silence, silence !

4. La terre les eaux va buvant [sung text checked 1 time]
La terre les eaux va buvant L'arbre la boit par sa racine La mer éparse boit le vent et le soleil boit la marine Le soleil est bu de la lune Tout boit soit en haut ou en bas Suivant cette règle commune Pourquoi donc ne boirions nous pas?
