## The words

J’aime la blancheur de la main,  
Le doigt bien fin, l'ongle bien rose,  
La pâleur auprès du carmin Repose.  
Quand je vois une belle main, La nuit je la  
retrouve en songe Et souvent tout le  
lendemain J'y songe !  
Et si quelque femme demain Me plaît et  
m'attire auprès d'elle, On pourra dire que  
sa main Est belle, Est belle, Est belle !
