Dis-moi qui sont ces gens [English translation]

Tell me who are these people

Behaving obscene

Kissing each other in public?

I'm alone in this world

I don't have a Mona Lisa

To play the romantic one

Tell me what's this city

Of endless idylls?

I've forgotten its name

Do you know the path?

And the price it costs

To love going mad?

Tell me who are these people

Who walk sowing

Grace behind them?

Emblazing the world

Who take their love

To the grave

Do you know their path

The secret why luck

Is on their side?

I've got nothing but my hands

To chase grief

While they, they've got the moon

Tell me who are these people

Protecting their eyes

From too many storms?

Tell me who are those gods

Who make the most out of

Thunderbolts and heaven?

And stay unworldly

While we only have

Winter for pastures

For our sad pigeons

Which, without destination

Send us back our letters

Tell me who are these poeple

Laughing like children

Giving the cue?

That of Romeo

Tristan's, Rimbaud's

Of great music

But I've got noone but me

To show the indecent nature

Of my heart

Tell me who are these hangmen

Killing me without a word

With their beautiful eyes?

Tell me who are these hangmen

Killing me without a word

With their beautiful eyes?
