Mon habit
 (Sung text for setting by P. Gaubert)
 See original
Language: French (Français) 
Sois-moi fidèle, ô pauvre habit que j'aime!
Ensemble nous devenons vieux.
Depuis dix ans je te brosse moi-même,
Et Socrate n'eut pas fait mieux!
Quand le sort à ta mince étoffe
Livrerait de nouveaux combats,
Imite-moi, résiste en philosophe:
Mon vieil ami, ne nous séparons pas.

 ... 

Composition:

    Set to music by Philippe Gaubert (1879 - 1941), "Mon habit", stanza 1
