Le Martien [English translation]

In the sky, a red sun waiting

And all of a sudden, a strange man stepping out.

Who will guess this Martian

ran the gauntlet of space to ask for my hand in marriage?

In the sky, a red sun gone away,

yet it shines on the greyness of my life.

Who will grant me, in his thoughts

the aura of glory that I will deserve then1?

When the red sun will come back and carry me

away from Earth

Carry me away from Earth, carry me away from Earth

1. that does not make a lot of sense in French either!
