Le cavalier sans tête [English translation]

I go like a stone thrown among the buildings

I cross the plains like a silent breath

I go like a flame under the blazing snow

That no one can extinguish

I was given neither weapons nor tears in my eyes,

Only this black steel horse and this faceless body

I have the child's soul and the old man's memory

Forever is quite long, when you walk without a heart

I am the headless horseman, and I am looking for love

Through the storms, I am looking for daylight

I am looking for the flame that will come and lighten...

My soul

From atop my mount, on stairs of mist,

I hear the scream of those men who have lost love

And so I suddenly envy those with a tear in their eye

Who cry for the ocean until they can drown in it

He who made me, wanting to make me immortal,

He made the armor invincible - but he forgot the heart

Since my soul was made of shrouded steel,

It is the entire human race that I mourn

Aimlessly, from city to city, my friend, I sometimes

Dream of crossing the path of a beloved woman

Who, simply out of love, would share her being

And put some mortality into my sad eternity

I am the headless horseman, and I am looking for love

I cross the storms, I am looking for daylight

For I am looking for the flame that will come and lighten...

My soul

My soul
