Lyrics
Pensionnaires
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
L'une avait quinze ans, l'autre en avait seize;
Toutes deux dormaient dans la m? chambre.
C'?it par un soir tr?lourd de septembre
Fr?s, des yeux bleus, des rougeurs de fraise.
Chacune a quitt?pour se mettre ?'aise,
La fine chemise au frais parfum d'ambre.
La plus jeune ?nd les bras, et se cambre,
Et sa sœur, les mains sur ses seins, la baise,
Puis tombe ?enoux, puis devient farouche
Et tumultueuse et folle, et sa bouche
Plonge sous l'or blond, dans les ombres grises;
Et l'enfant, pendant ce temps-l?recense
Sur ses doigts mignons des valses promises,
Et, rose, sourit avec innocence.
