by Émile Pierre Ratez (1851 - 1934)

Le volant
 (Sung text for setting by Ratez)
 Matches base text
Language: French (Français) 
Par les raquettes élastiques
Le volant lancé vivement
En ses courbes paraboliques
Traverse l'air joyeusement.

Il bondit, il vole, il scintille,
Il court dans ses folles ardeurs
Dans jeune fille en jeune fille
Comme un papillon sur des fleurs.
