3. Colombine  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
Léandre le sot,
Pierrot qui d'un saut
  De puce
Franchit le buisson,
Cassandre sous son
  Capuce,

Arlequin aussi,
Cet aigrefin si
  Fantasque
Aux costumes fous,
Ses yeux luisants sous
  Son masque,

— Do, mi, sol, mi, fa, —
Tout ce monde va,
  Rit, chante
Et danse devant
Une belle enfant
  Méchante

Dont les yeux pervers
Comme les yeux verts
  Des chattes
Gardent ses appas
Et disent: « À bas
  Les pattes ! »

— Eux ils vont toujours ! —
Fatidique cours
  Des astres,
Oh ! dis-moi vers quels
Mornes ou cruels
  Désastres

L'implacable enfant,
Preste et relevant
  Ses jupes,
La rose au chapeau,
Conduit son troupeau
  De dupes ?
