The inexhaustible bottleLet's pour! let's pour at last Taken from under the faggots, It's the price of a long lease A bewitched couple; Drink without fear to wear it away, Young spirit without torch, Hospital and prison, Muck of the city, Here, drink, cleaned-up globe, Let's pour! let's pour at last |

La bouteille inépuisableVersons! versons enfin Prise sous les fagots, C’est le prix d’un long bail Un couple ensorcelé; Bois sans peur de l’user, Jeune esprit sans flambeau, Hôpital et prison, Fange de la cité, Bois-y, globe assaini, Versons! versons enfin |
