La Limousine (Chalupt, set by D. Milhaud) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Sous la neige, la Rolls Royce
S'arrête le long du quai.
Ah! l'étrange, le lourd paquet
Qu'ils cachent sous leurs pelisses!

Aux cent cloches de la Néva,
Tandis que sonnent matines,
Le très saint moine Raspoutine
Docile au destin s'en va.
