by Jean Richepin (1849 - 1926)

Te souviens‑tu d'une étoile?
 (Sung text for setting by C. Cui)
 Matches original text
Language: French (Français) 
Te souviens-tu d'une étoile
Qui nous regardait un soir,
Ainsi qu'un oeil sous un voile,
  Dans le ciel noir ?

Nous avons fait la grimace
A cet astre curieux,
Cachant à demi sa face
  Pour nous voir mieux.

Elle est toujours dans l'espace.
Mais c'est l'étoile aujourd'hui
Qui là-haut fait la grimace
  A mon ennui.
