by Alexandre Dumas Davy de la Pailleterie (1802 - 1870)

Que d'autres de la promenade
Language: French (Français) 
Que d'autres de la promenade 
Goûtent les innocents loisirs ;
Nous, de l'existence nomade
Nous aimons les bruyants plaisirs.

Souvent nous déployons la voile 
Quand des deux descend le sommeil ;
Nous disons bonjour à l'étoile,
Nous disons bonsoir au soleil.

Bourgeois, qui devez nous connaître,
Appelez valets et portiers ;
Faites fermer grille et fenêtre,
Voici venir les canotiers.
