Les mots sont dits, les jeux sont faits Toutes couleurs toutes mesures, Le danger cueille son bouquet, Aux falaises de l’aventure Je ne reviendrai plus jamais. Adieu chapeau de Capitaine Adieu gais écheveaux du vent, Astre du Nord, étoile vaine, Un baiser est au firmament Des jardins où je me promène. Adieu bateaux au jour défaits, L’heure attendue est bien venue, L’amour me choisit mes secrets. À la tour des peines perdues Je ne monterai plus jamais.
