Chanson chinoise en Europe

La demoiselle
Avec son éventail
Traverse le pont
Sur la rivière fraîche.

Avec leurs redingotes
Regardent le pont
Sans rambarde.
La demoiselle
Avec son éventail
Et ses volants
Cherche un mari.
Les gentlemen
Sont mariés
Avec de grandes blondes
Qui parlent la langue des blancs.
Les grillons chantent
À l'ouest.
(La demoiselle
marche sur l'herbe.)
Les grillons chantent
Sous les fleurs.
(Les gentlemen
sont partis vers le nord.)
