  I've heard a version with lyrics, but I believe they came much later

  I think maybe one of the jazz realbooks has Nuages wit lyrics

  Sounds wrong to sing English lyrics to this song -- my bias, anyway...

  Sounds wrong to sing any lyrics to this tune! it gained it's fame as an instrumental, and should stay that way.

  I have performed this with a good singer and she did a great job, the lyrics were really just sounds.
  
  I have also heard it where I found the lyrics not to my taste at all.
  
  One of my fave covers is Paul Desmond with Ed Bickert on guitar. That, a QHCF and a Rosenberg Trio version are my fave 3
