Une femme se lève et chante Et la suit le vent qui l’enchante Sur la terre l’étend Le vrai songe la prend. Cette terre qui est nue Cette femme qui est grue Et ce vent qui est si fort Et ce songe c’est la mort.

Una donna s'alza e canta La segue il vento e l'incanta E sulla terra stende E il sogno vero la prende. Questa terra è nuda Questa donna è druda Questo vento è forte Questo sogno è morte.
