Ivresse
Language: French (Français) 
Emplis-toi ma tasse,
Siang, ting, tang !
Comme un vaste étang
Ici-bas tout passe,
Siang, ting, tang !
En un court instant.
Amoureuses étoiles
Que sépare la nuit,
Jetez vos sombres voiles !
Oiseaux, allez sans bruit
Leur faire de vos ailes
Un pont de plumes frêles.

Je vois dans ma tasse,
Siang, ting, tang,
Ce grand pont flottant,
Sous lui ce qui passe,
Siang, ting, tang,
Est bien inconstant!
O lune qui l'éclaire,
Sois ma barque et sans bruit
Descends sur l'onde claire.
Porte-moi dans la nuit,
Je veux à toutes voiles
Voguer vers les étoiles.
