Reine des mouettes, mon orpheline Je t'ai vue rose, je m'en souviens Sous les brumes mousselines De ton deuil ancien. Rose d'aimer le baiser qui chagrine Tu te laissais accorder à mes mains Sous les brumes mousselines Voiles de nos liens. Rougis, rougis mon baiser te devine Mouette prise aux noeuds des grands chemins. Reine des mouettes, mon orpheline, Tu étais rose accordée à mes mains Rose sous les mousselines Et je m'en souviens.

Language: French (Français)
Ta chair, d'âme mêlée,
Chevelure emmêlée,
Ton pied courant le temps,
Ton ombre qui s'étend
Et murmure à ma tempe
...
Voilà, c'est ton portrait,
C'est ainsi que tu es,
Et je veux te l'écrire
Pour que la nuit venue,
Tu puisses croire et dire,
Que je t'ai bien connue.
