Chinoiserie Lyrics by Manuel de Falla

Trois mélodies

1910

Ce n'est pas vous, non, madame, que j'aime
Ni vous non plus, Juliette, ni vous
Ophélia, ni Bétrix, ni même
Laure la blonde, avec ses grands yeux doux
Celle que j'aime à présent, est en Chine;
Elle demeure, avec ses vieux parents
Dans une tour de porcelain fine
Au fleuve Jaune, où sont les cormorans;
Elle a des yeux retroussés vers les tempes
Un pied petit, à tenir dans la main
Le teint plus clair que le cuivre des lampes
Les ongles longs et rougis de carmin;
Par son treillis elle passe sa tête
Que l'hirondelle, en volant, vient toucher
Et, chaque soir, aussi bien qu'un poëte
Chante le saule et la fleur du pêcher
