Paquita
Language: French (Français) 
C'était à Barcelone 
Devant les hidalgos 
Paquita, ma mignonne
Dansait des fandangos !
Ah ! sa taille et sa hanche 
Et son beau petit pied 
Ses yeux noirs sa main blanche 
Je n'ai rien oublié !

Le jour fuit à la brume 
On entend les coucous 
Elle était jeune et brune 
Et belle comme vous !

Je suis une hirondelle
Et je veux, dans les cieux
Egarer, disait-elle
Mon vel capricieux
Nous irons à Séville
Où les gais boléros
Sont mélés aux quadrilles
Des courses de taureaux

Le jour fuit à la brume...

Et toute une semaine
Elle m'aima je crois,
J'ai gardé l'âme pleine
Des baisers d'autrefois.
Souvenirs pleins de charmes,
Espoir inachevé
Chansons, rires et larmes ;
Peut-ètre ai-je rèvé !

Le jour fuit à la brume...
