Sur l’eau bleue et profonde,
Nous allons voyageant.
Environnant le monde
D’un sillage d’argent.
Des îles de la Sonde,
De l’Inde au ciel brulé,
Jusqu’au pòle gelé!


Nous pensons à la terre
Que nous fuyons toujours.
A notre vieille mère,
A nos jeunes amours.
Mais la vague légère
Avec son doux refrain,
Endort notre chagrin!


Existence sublime,
Bercés par notre nid.
Nous vivons sur l’abime,
Au sein de l’infini,
Des flots rasant la cîme.
Dans le grand désert bleu
Nous marchons avec Dieu!
