3. Barque d'or  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
Dans une barque d'Orient
S'en revenaient trois jeunes filles ;
Trois jeunes filles d'Orient
S'en revenaient en barque d'or.

Une qui était noire
Et qui tenait le gouvernail,
Sur ses lèvres, aux roses essences,
Nous rapportait d'étranges histoires
Dans le silence.

Une qui était brune
Et qui tenait la voile en main,
Et dont les pieds étaient ailés,
Nous rapportait des gestes d'ange,
En son immobilité.

Mais une qui était blonde,
Qui dormait à l'avant,
Dont les cheveux tombaient dans l'onde
Comme du soleil levant,
Nous rapportait sous ses paupières,
La lumière.
