by Eugène Émile Paul Grindel (1895 - 1952), as Paul Éluard
Âne ou vache coq ou cheval
Language: French (Français)
Âne ou vache coq ou cheval Jusqu'à la peau d'un violon Homme chanteur un seul oiseau Danseur agile avec sa femme Couple trempé dans son printemps L'or de l'herbe le plomb du ciel Séparés par les flammes bleues De la santé de la rosée Le sang s'irise le coeur tinte Un couple le premier reflet Et dans un souterrain de neige La vigne opulente dessine Un visage aux lèvres de lune Qui n'a jamais dormi la nuit.
