Le temps des cathédrales [English translation]

This is a story that takes place

In fair Paris in the year of our Lord

Fourteen hundred eighty two

A story of love and of desire.

All the anonymous artists

Of sculpture and verse,

Will attempt to transcribe it for you

And for the centuries to come

The age of cathedrals has come

The world has entered

A new millennium.

Man wanted to reach the stars,

To write his story

In glass and in stone

Stone after stone, day after day,

From century to century, with love,

He saw the towers rise, those

That he had built with his hands.

The poets and the troubadours

Sang songs of love

That promised the human race

Better days to come.

The age of cathedrals has come

The world has entered

A new millennium.

Man wanted to reach the stars,

To write his story

In glass and in stone.

The age of cathedrals has come

The world has entered

A new millennium.

Man wanted to reach the stars,

To write his story

In glass and in stone.

The age of cathedrals has gone

The hoard of barbarians

Storms the city gates

Let them in, these pagans, these vandals

The end of this world

Is predicted for the year 2000,

Is predicted for the year 2000.
