Note: this setting is made up of several separate texts.


Sur le sable d'or, beaux êtres humains,
Prenez-vous les mains;
Les vagues sauvages se taisent.
Venez! que vos lèvres se baisent !
Errez, pleins d'amour, sous le ciel serein.
Vous, prenez au refrain,
Doux esprits de ces lieux enchantés.
Ecoutez ! 
Le chien de garde aboie.
Ecoutez ! 
Le vaillant chanteclair,
Qui déchire l'air
Par ses cris de joie.
Kokoriko !

Ton père gît à cinq brasses profondes sous les calmes eaux.
Il gît, et ses os deviennent corail au baiser des ondes.
Ce sont deux perles que ses yeux;
Il n'est rien de lui que la mer ne change
En une fleur étrange, un joyau merveilleux.
La vague le pleure ; 
Les nymphes des eaux sonnent d'heure en heure son glas.
Ecoutez ! L'air frissonne,
J'entends là-bas la voix des cloches. Sonne, sonne le glas.
