by Robert Desnos (1900 - 1945)

Va‑t'en chez le tailleur
 (Sung text for setting by G. Sacre)
 Matches base text
Language: French (Français) 
Va-t’en chez le tailleur
en sifflant le God save the king.
Pour le veston et le smoking
IL FAUT LAISSER DES ARRHES.

Va-t’en chez le fripier des semaines à venir ;
uniforme de pompier,
camisole, froc ou tunique :
à ton goût tu pourras choisir.

Mais les semaines du passé
jamais ne pourront revenir
chez le fripier de ton destin

IL FAUT LAISSER DES ARRHES
