Six chansons

Song Cycle by Bernard Reichel (1901 - 1992)

1. Les matelots  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
Sur l'eau [bleue]1 et profonde
Nous allons voyageant,
Environnant le monde
D'un sillage d'argent,
Des îles de la Sonde,
De l'Inde au ciel brûlé,
Jusqu'au pôle gelé...

Les petites étoiles
Montrent de leur doigt d'or
De quel côté les voiles
Doivent prendre l'essor ;
Sur nos ailes de toiles,
Comme de blancs oiseaux,
Nous effleurons les eaux.
