by René Chalupt (1885 - 1957)

Cœur en péril
Language: French (Français) 
Que m'importe que l'Infante de Portugal
Ait le visage rond ou bien ovale
Et une cicatrice sous le sein droit
Quelle ait l'air d'une fille de roi
Ou d'une gardeuse d'oies
Que m'importe?

Peu me chaut que la princesse de Trébizonde
Soit rousse, châtaine ou blonde
Qu'elle ait l'humeur prompte et le verbe haut
Peu me chaut.

Point n'ai souci que la marquise de Carabas
Soit veuve et reprendre mari
Pour faire ici-bas son paradis!
Point n'ai souci!

Mais il suffit, jeune étourdie?
Du seul clin d'un de vos yeux moqueurs
Aux reflets irisés
Pour que mon pauvre coeur 
Batte à se briser.
