lieux,Dites que je vielle en ces lieux,Pour la gloire
s^mM^kmm
et pour mon ami - e, pour mon ami - e.
A la lueur des feux des ennemis,
La sentinelle est placee en silence:
Mais le Francais, pour abreger les nuits,
Chante, appuye sur le fer de sa lance:
Allez, volez Zephir joyeux,
Portez mes chants dans ma patrie,
Dites que je veille en ces lieux,
Pour la gloire et pour mon amie.
I/astre du jour ramene les combats,
Demain il faut signaler sa vaillance,
Dans la victoire on trouve le trepas,
Mais si je meurs a cote de ma lance:
Allez encore joyeux Zephir,
Allez, volez dans ma patrie,
Dire que mon dernier soupir,
Fut pour la gloire et mon amie.
