Reine des mouettes, mon orpheline Je t'ai vue rose, je m'en souviens Sous les brumes mousselines De ton deuil ancien. Rose d'aimer le baiser qui chagrine Tu te laissais accorder à mes mains Sous les brumes mousselines Voiles de nos liens. Rougis, rougis mon baiser te devine Mouette prise aux noeuds des grands chemins. Reine des mouettes, mon orpheline, Tu étais rose accordée à mes mains Rose sous les mousselines Et je m'en souviens.

Reina de les gavines, la meva òrfena Et vaig veure de rosa, me’n recordo Sota les boires mussolines Del teu dol antic. Rosa d’estimar el bes que entristeix Et deixares acordar a les meves mans Sota les boires mussolines Veles dels nostres vincles. Ruboritza’t, ruboritza’t el meu bes t’endevina Gavina atrapada als nusos dels grans camins. Reina de les gavines, la meva òrfena, Eres rosa acordada a les meves mans Rosa sota les mussolines I jo me’n recordo.
