Nous emmenions en esclavageCent chrétiens,
pêcheurs de corailNous recrutions pour le sérailDans tous les moutiers du rivageEn mer les hardis écumeurs!Nous allions de Fez à Catane...Dans la galère capitaneNous étions quatre-vingts rameursOn signale un couvent à terreNous jetons l'ancre près du bordA nos yeux s'offre tout d'abordUne fille du monastèrePrès des flots,
sourde à leurs rumeurs,Elle dormait sous un platane...Dans la galère capitaneNous étions quatre-vingt rameurs- La belle fille,
il faut vous taireIl faut nous suivre,
il fait bon ventCe n'est que changer de couventLe harem vaut le monastèreSa Hautesse aime les primeurs,Nous vous ferons mahométane...Dans la galère capitaneNous étions quatre-vingt rameursElle veut fuir vers la chapelle- Osez-vous bien,
fils de Satan?- Nous osons,
dit le capitanElle pleure,
supplie,
appelleMalgré sa plainte et ses clameurs,On l'emporta dans la tartane...Dans la galère capitaneNous étions quatre-vingts rameursPlus belle encor dans sa tristesseSes yeux étaient deux talismansElle valait mille tomansOn la vendit à sa HautesseElle eut beau dire: - Je me meurs!De nonne,
elle devint sultane...Dans la galère capitaneNous étions quatre-vingts rameurs
