L'Ancien Régime: L'orgueilleuse (Chalupt, set by D. Milhaud) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Pourquoi, Princesse de Ballet, 
Refuses-tu ta bouche?
Le coulisses du Châtelet
Sont elles si farouches?
Tu n'étais jadis à Moscou
Que fille de cuisine,
Les chauffeurs te baisaient au cou
Qui sentaient la benzine.
