Ange Flégier (1846–1925) was born in Marseilles and also died there. He
studied composition with Ambroise Thomas at the Conservatoire in Paris and then became a well-known composer with more than 350 works in his catalogue. Most of his works are concert songs and chamber music pieces. He also worked as a music critic and, later in life, as a painter.

La mer pleure une cantilène
Sur d'invisibles violons.
Je n'aimerai plus Madeleine.
Tanguis, tanguons ! Roulis, roulons !
Les nuits sont courtes, les jours longs.
La mer pleure une cantilène
Où passent, railleurs, des flonflons.
Tanguis, tanguons ! Roulis, roulons !
Mais c'est de sanglots qu'elle est pleine.
Elle et moi, nous nous désolons.
Les nuits sont courtes, les jours longs.
Je n'aimerai plus Madeleine.
Mieux vaut courir les Madelons.
Tanguis, tanguons ! Roulis, roulons !
Mais je sens passer son haleine
Et vois flotter ses cheveux blonds.
Les nuits sont courtes, les jours longs.
À son parfum de marjolaine
J'ai frémi du crâne aux talons.
Tanguis, tanguons ! Roulis, roulons !
. . . . . .
La mer pleure une cantilène
Sur d'invisibles violons.
