## The words

Partons en barque sur la mer  
Pour pas- ser la nuit aux étoiles.  
Vois, il souffle juste assez d'air Pour enfler  
la toile des voiles.  
Le vieux pêcheur itali- en Et ses deux fils,  
qui nous con- duisent,  
Ecoutent mais n'entendent rien  
Aux mots que nos bouches se disent.  
Sur la mer calme et sombre  
Vois, Nous pouvons échanger nos âmes,  
Et nul ne comprendra nos voix,  
Que la nuit, le ciel et les lames.
