Carmen est maigre,
- un trait de bistreCerne son œil de gitana.Ses cheveux sont d'un noir sinistre,Sa peau,
le diable la tanna.Les femmes disent qu'elle est laideMais tous les hommes en sont fousEt l'archevêque de TolèdeChante la messe à ses genouxCar,
sur sa nuque d'ambre fauve,Se tord un énorme chignonQui,
dénoué,
fait dans l'alcôveUne mante à son corps mignonEt,
parmi sa pâleur,
éclateUne bouche aux rires vainqueurs,Piment rouge,
fleur écarlate,Qui prend sa pourpre au sang des cœurs.Ainsi faite,
la moricaudeBat les plus altières beautésEt,
de ses yeux,
la lueur chaudeRend la flamme aux satiétés.Elle a dans sa laideur piquante,Un grain de sel,
de cette merD'où jaillit,
nue et provocante,L'âcre Vénus au goût amer.Carmen est maigre,
- un trait de bistreCerne son œil de gitana.Ses cheveux sont d'un noir sinistre,Sa peau,
le diable la tanna.
