by Georges Gabory (1899 - 1978)

Lampions éteints
Language: French (Français) 
Soleil couchant à l'horizon,
Brûle mes châteaux en Espagne,
La blanche déesse Raison
Sombre dans les flots du champagne ;
Par couples s'envolent des cœurs
Et dans les jardins de Cythère,
Aux cris des violons moqueurs,
Les tables s'enfoncent sous terre ;
Ô tristesse de Tabarin
Qui dans ma chambre, es revenue...
Mon c&oeli;gur était le tambourin
Que tu frappais de ta main nue.
