Azincourt, azincourt
Partout des papillons
Insectes pris de court
Dans l’affreux tourbillon
Des flèches taillées pour
Traverser les poumons
Des chevaux de concours
Trop lourds pour la saison
Chevaliers de la cour
Finis à bout portant
Et leurs chevaux trop lourds
Dans la boue jusqu’aux flancs
Sous le vol des vautours
Et le dard des frelons
Tournoyant tout autour
Partout des papillons
Pour un qui fuit, qui court
C’est mille agonisants
Gens nobles ou des faubourgs
Que la terre reprend
En guise de secours
Seulement la chanson
Des vainqueurs qui savourent
Ni grâce, ni pardon
Demain, un autre jour
A ceux qui survivent
Aux enfers de retour
Sans cesse reviendront
Les âmes envolées
De leurs chers compagnons
Parties vers les nuées
Au dos des papillons
Et la vie passera
Comme à côté d’un four
La famille dira
Ils sont aveugles et sourds
Comme on se moquera*des gestes qu’ils feront
Personne ne saura
Qu’ils voeint
Partout des papillons
Azincourt, azincourt
Partout des papillons
Et l’affreux tourbillon
Des flèches taillées pour
Les chevaux de concours
Trop lourds pour la saison
