J'adore humblement les actes du Très-Haut Qui a donné au violon mieux qu'une âme Au point que dès qu'il joue les hommes se taisent Et que leurs mains rabattent leur voile Pour cacher leur émotion. Et soucis de l'amour étaient sur le point De me mettre au tombeau Mais grâce au violon, ô fils d'Aïchoum! Dieu m'a rendu la vie.
