This is the one original piece on the album. It is a blend of composition, African feeling and traditional French music; the melody from the song "Isabeau s'y promene" is integrated here. It tells the story of Isabeau, a young maiden taking a walk along her garden where she encounters thirty sailors, the youngest of whom drowns as he tries to find the ring that Isabeau lost in the water.
