Here you are married, Catherine,
Without joy or love.
The one you love, Catherine,
Is lost forever ...
They were soft, the past few days,
But why mention them?
A black bird cries in the night.
Yesterday, Catherine, you said "yes"
And now he must dance.
You have to dance ... and forget.
Why cry, beautiful child?
The violins play softly ...
Here you are married, Catherine,
Without joy or love.
The one you love, Catherine,
Is lost forever ...
It is at the end of your garden
A very old oak, where a boy
Had once carved your name
In one heart to hers.
You see, the one that you love,
You see, the one who loved you so ...
Eh! The black bird! ... What do you say?
This is oak that hangs ...
Here you are married, Catherine,
Without joy or love.
The one you love, Catherine,
Is lost forever ...
Little Catherine tomorrow morning
In ice water for your grief,
In the strange sea water,
You be floating, eyes open,
Eyes open to your fate
And, in your satin dress
Just where the sea mingles with the sky,
You will join the faithful lover ...
Here you are married, Catherine,
Married love ...
The one you love, Catherine,
Is yours forever .
