Stances à Manon
Language: French (Français) 
Manon voici le soleil 
C’est le printemps c’est l’éveil
C’est l’amour maître des choses
C’est le nid dans les buissons
Viens éprouver les frissons
Des blés de l’or et des roses

Viens l’univers est à nous
Et je suis à tes genoux
Pout toi se donne le fête
Dans ce sompteux décor
Prends mon âme prends mon corps
Que ta volonté soit faite

Verse verse des baisers
A mes sens inapaisés
Jusqu’à la dernière goutte
J’aime ton cœur inhumain
Tu me trahiras demain
Mais ce soir je t’aurai toute

Laisse-moi dans tes grands yeux
L’infini des cieux
Et l’ivresse de ton âme
Laisse-moi dans tes bras blancs
Bercer mes rêves troublants
Et mon désir qui se pâme

Qu’importe les trahisons
Des femmes que nous aimons
Si ces femmes sont jolies
Oublions les vains discours
Aimons-nous les jours sont courts
Et c’est l’heure des foiles.
