La Marchande d'herbes aromatiques
 (Sung text for setting by D. Milhaud)
 Matches original text
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ta paille azur de lavandes,
Ne crois pas avec ce cil
Osé que tu me la vendes
Comme a l'hypocrite s'il
 
En tapisse la muraille
De lieux les absolus lieux
Pour le ventre qui se raille
Renaître aux sentiments bleus.
 
Mieux entre une envahissante
Chevelure ici mets-la
Que le brin salubre y sente
Zéphirine, Paméla
 
Ou conduise vers l'époux
Les prémices de tes poux.
