For the sea's in a turbulent mood.

There's nobody harks to the pierrots;

For music we don't care a straw;

And the "comic" in vain chants the usual strain

Concerning his mother-in-law.

Unbought are the beach's bananas;

Our souls are all far above food;

Not a man of us dreams of consuming ice-creams

When the sea's in a turbulent mood.

You may prate of the fervour of Phoebus
