Ici-bas [English translation]

It is well on Earth

That I hoped for

... War

I go to mine

You are not there

Who am I without you ?

It is well on Earth

That I hoped for

... Jubilation

Strange life

That makes up, poor me,

A wooden puppet

This is just like a rosary, having your name on it,

Which I vainly tell, I count up my prayers

I carry around my ennui and diverting myself is delightful

I think of all my dreams running away

Mary, you can see up from your donjon

Colony of puppets, what poor faws

With my distraught soul, plunged into confusion

Please, be present, grant my wish

[Refrain]

This is just like a sweet howling wind and I plunge

One after one, my eyes into water and light

Sharing my ennui and diverting myself is delightful

I think of our souls rising into the air

Mary, you can see up from your donjon

How I totter, how I struggle

I make vows of life, vows of meditation

Grant my wish, I am to be loved
