Ce tristă operă cînta
Fanfara militară
Tîrziu, în noapte, la grădină…
Şi tot oraşul întrista,
Fanfara militară.
Plîngeam, şi rătăceam pe stradă
În noaptea vastă şi senină;
Şi-atît de goală era strada –
De-amanţi grădina era plină.
Oraşul luminat electric
Dădea fiori de nebunie –
Era o noapte de septembrie,
Atît de rece şi pustie!
Şi tot oraşul întrista
Fanfara militară…
Tîrziu, în noapte, la grădină,
Ce tristă operă cînta
Fanfara militară.
