Les Faiseurs de religion
Prêchaient dans le brouillard
Les ombres près de qui nous passions
Jouaient à collin maillard

À soixante-dix ans
Joues fraîches de petits enfants
Venez venez Eléonore
Et que sais-je encore

Regardez venir les cyclopes
Les pipes s'envolaient
Mais envolez-vous-en
Regards impénitents
Et l'Europe l'Europe

Regards sacrés
Mains enamourées
Et les amants s'aimèrent
Tant que prêcheurs prêchèrent

Hyde Park

Language: Catalan (Català) after the French (Français)

Els fabricants de religió
predicaven en la boira
les ombres prop de les qui vam passar
jugaven a la gallina cega

Als setanta anys
 galtes fresques com les de petits infants
vingui, vingui, Elionor
i què més sé jo

Mireu venir els ciclops
les pipes s'envolaven
però envoleu-vos
esguards impenitents
i Europa Europa

Esguards sagrats
mans enamorades
i els amants s'estimaven
mentre els predicadors predicaven
