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.
Le long des quais les grands vaisseaux
Que le houle incline en silence
Ne prennent pas garde aux berceaux
Que la main des femmes balance
Mais viendra le jour des adieux
Car il faut que les femmes pleurent
Et que les hommes curieux
Tentent les horizons qui leurent
Et ce jour là les grands vaisseaux
Fuyant le port qui diminue
Sentent leur masse retenue
Par l'âme des lointains berceaux
Par l'âme des lointains berceaux
