Air de Pierrot :
Most certainly the art of flying
Is not such a trivial art.
But one must at present,
Go forwards with skill.
So as to make it easy
Harness me to two steeds.
Here it is gentlemen, truly,
As I become the master of the wind.
Like the Gods at the opera
Slice through the air, flying mechanically.
The sky, hell et cetera,
Everything goes well there,
For without her dance and music
And the author, they would fall.
Here it is gentlemen, truly,
As I become the master of the wind.
Sold in Paris, rue des Quatre Vents.
