... Fuis, lune, lune, lune. Si les gitans venaient, avec ton cœur ils feraient des colliers et des anneaux blancs.

Fuis, lune, lune, lune. je sens les cavaliers, Enfant, laisse-moi, ne marche pas sur ma blancheur amidonnée. Le cavalier s'approchait frappant le tambour de la plaine. À l'intérieur de la forge l'enfant garde les yeux fermés. Par l'oliveraie venaient, bronze et rêve, les gitans. Les têtes hautes et les yeux mi-clos.
