Entendez-vous ? [English translation]

It is a story

About the old

From a dream

An ordinary lie

Or truth

For those who want to hear it

By an oak-tree

Foresaken

A child lies

On a wool scarf

And the dozing tree

Is stretching its branches

"Cradling the child

Right against itself"

Can you hear from up above?

This song like a symphony

Will they remain closed

The gates to heaven?

The child is falling asleep

Closed eyes

So far from his home

All the stars in the sky

Are to watch over him together

From the dead of the night

"Cover the child up

With a silver overcoat"

Can you hear from up above?

This song like a symphony

Will they remain closed

The gates to heaven?

Can you hear from up above?

This song like a symphony

Will they remain closed

The gates to heaven?

Messire Wind

I beg you

Hear my cause

Since you blow outside

Lead the child

On the breeze's back

"Take the child

Into his crib"

Can you hear from up above?

This song like a symphony

Will they remain closed

The gates to heaven?

Can you hear from up above?

This song like a symphony

Will they remain closed

The gates to heaven?
