Le malheur avait mis les habits du mensonge Ils étaient d’un beau rouge couleur du sang du cœur Mais son cœur à lui était gris Penché sur la margelle il me chantait l’amour Sa voix grinçait comme la poulie Et moi dans mon costume de vérité je me taisais et je riais et je dansais au fond du puits Et sur l’eau qui riait aussi la lune brillait contre le malheur la lune se moquait de lui.
