by Jean-Baptiste Théodore Weckerlin (1821 - 1910)

Barcarolle
Language: French (Français) 
L'airain s'éveille dans la tour,
La nuit s'achève ;
L'oiseau gazouille un chant d'amour
Au dieu du jour.
Ma tartane attend là-bas,
Sur la blanche grève,
Le vent fait pencher ses mats :
Viens, ne tardons pas.
Doucement bercés sur l'onde
Notre blanche voile au vent,
Nous irons au bout du monde,
Devisant, ou bien rêvant,
Saluer le soleil levant !
L'ancre est levée et vers les cieux,
Loin de la plage,
La brise emporte nos adieux,
Nos chants joyeux.
Pas une ombre dans les airs,
Le ciel sans nuage
Se reflète dans les mers :
A nous l'univers !
Nous glissons dans l'azur des cieux,
Plus de rivage ;
La brise emporte nos adieux,
Nos chants joyeux !
A nous l'univers !
