Un port retentissant o mon me peut boire	A

Ouvrent leurs vastes bras pour embrasser la gloire	A
D'un ciel pur o fr mit l' ternelle chaleur	A

Sur les bords duvet s de vos m ches tordues	F
Je m'enivre ardemment des senteurs confondues	F

Head of Hair	A
	-
O fleecy hair falling in curls to the shoulders	F
O black locks O perfume laden with nonchalance	F
Ecstasy To people the dark alcove tonight	C
With memories sleeping in that thick head of hair	A
I would like to shake it in the air like a scarf	H
	-
Sweltering Africa and languorous Asia	I
A whole far away world absent almost defunct	C
Dwells in your depths aromatic forest	C
While other spirits glide on the wings of music	B
Mine O my love floats upon your perfume	D
	-
I shall go there where trees and men full of vigor	A
Are plunged in a deep swoon by the heat of the land	C
Heady tresses be the billows that carry me away	J
Ebony sea you hold a dazzling dream	D
Of rigging of rowers of pennons and of masts	F
	-
A clamorous harbor where my spirit can drink	B
In great draughts the perfume the sound and the color	A
Where the vessels gliding through the gold and the moire	A
Open wide their vast arms to embrace the glory	A
Of a clear sky shimmering with everlasting heat	C
	-
I shall bury my head enamored with rapture	A
In this black sea where the other is imprisoned	C
And my subtle spirit caressed by the rolling	B
Will find you once again O fruitful indolence	F
Endless lulling of sweet scented leisure	A
	-
Blue black hair pavilion hung with shadows	F
You give back to me the blue of the vast round sky	B
In the downy edges of your curling tresses	F
I ardently get drunk with the mingled odors	F
Of oil of coconut of musk and tar	A
	-
A long time Forever my hand in your thick mane	G
Will scatter sapphires rubies and pearls	F
So that you will never be deaf to my desire	A
Aren't you the oasis of which I dream the gourd	C
From which I drink deeply the wine of memory	A

Her Hair	A
	-
O fleece that down her nape rolls plume on plume	D
O curls O scent of nonchalance and ease	F
What ecstasy To populate this room	D
With memories it harbours in its gloom	D
I'd shake it like a banner on the breeze	F
	-
Hot Africa and languid Asia play	J
An absent world defunct and far away	J
Within that scented forest dark and dim	D
As other souls on waves of music swim	D
Mine on its perfume sails as on the spray	J
	-
I'll journey there where man and sap filled tree	A
Swoon in hot light for hours Be you my sea	A
Strong tresses Be the breakers and gales	F
That waft me Your black river holds for me	A
A dream of masts and rowers flames and sails	F
	-
A port resounding there my soul delivers	F
With long deep draughts of perfumes scent and clamour	A
Where ships that glide through gold and purple rivers	F
Fling wide their vast arms to embrace the glamour	A
Of skies wherein the heat forever quivers	F
	-
I'll plunge my head in it half drunk with pleasure	A
In this black ocean that engulfs her form	D
My soul caressed with wavelets there may measure	A
Infinite rocking in embalmed leisure	A
Creative idleness that fears no storm	D
	-
Blue tresses like a shadow stretching tent	C
You shed the blue of heavens round and far	A
Along its downy fringes as I went	C
I reeled half drunken to confuse the scent	C
Of oil of coconuts with musk and tar	A
	-
My hand forever in your mane so dense	F
Rubies and pearls and sapphires there will sow	F
That you to my desire be never slow	K
Oasis of my dreams and gourd from whence	F
Deep draughted wines of memory will flow	K

The Fleece	F
	-
O shadowy fleece that falls and curls upon those bare	A
Lithe shoulders O rich perfume of forgetfulness	F
O ecstasy To loose upon the midnight air	A
The memories asleep in this tumultuous hair	A
I long to rake it in my fingers tress by tress	F
	-
Asia the languorous the burning solitude	C
Of Africa a whole world distant all but dead	C
Survives in thy profundities O odorous wood	C
My soul as other souls put forth on the deep flood	C
Of music sails away upon thy scent instead	C
	-
There where the sap of life mounts hot in man and tree	A
And lush desire untamed swoons in the torrid zone	G
Undulant tresses wild strong waves oh carry me	A
Dream like a dazzling sun from out this ebony sea	A
Rises and sails and banks of rowers propel me on	G
	-
All the confusion all the mingled colors cries	F
Smells of a busy port upon my senses beat	C
Where smoothly on the golden streak d ripples flies	F
The barque its arms outspread to gather in the skies	F
Against whose glory trembles the unabating heat	C
	-
In this black ocean where the primal ocean roars	F
Drunken in love with drunkenness I plunge and drown	G
Over my dubious spirit the rolling tide outpours	F
Its peace oh fruitful indolence upon thy shores	F
Cradled in languor let me drift and lay me down	G
	-
Blue hair darkness made palpable like the big tent	C
Of desert sky all glittering with many a star	A
Thou coverest me oh I am drugged as with the blent	C
Effluvia of a sleeping caravan the scent	C
Of coco oil impregnated with musk and tar	A
	-
Fear not Upon this savage mane for ever thy lord	C
Will sow pearls sapphires rubies every stone that gleams	F
To keep thee faithful Art not thou the sycamored	C
Oasis whither my thoughts journey and the dark gourd	C
Whereof I drink in long slow draughts the wine of dreams	F

Of Her Hair	A
	-
	-
O fleece billowing on her neck O ecstasy	A
O curls O perfume rich with nonchalance O rare	A
Tonight to fill the alcove's warm obscurity	A
To make that hair evoke each dormant memory	A
I long to wave it like a kerchief in the air	A
	-
Africa smoldering and Asia languorous	A
A whole far distant world absent and almost spent	C
Dwells in your forest depths mystic and odorous	A
As others lose themselves in the harmonious	A
So love my heart floats lost upon your haunting scent	C
	-
I shall go where both man and tree albeit strong	B
Swoon deep beneath the rays of sunlight's blazing fires	A
Thick tresses be the waves to bear my dreams along	B
Ebony sea your dazzling dream contains a throng	B
Of sails of wafts of oarsmen and of masts like spires	A
	-
A noisy harbor where my thirsty soul may drain	G
Hues sounds and fragrances in draughts heavy and sweet	C
Where vessels gliding down a moir and gold sea lane	G
Open their vast arms wide to clutch at the domain	G
Of a pure sky a	I
