My handsome love, my handsome lover
I'm coming to the end of my torment
These few words from the bottom of my prison
Will they reach you one day?
Keep your body close to me
Hold me tight for one last time
Your warm breath burns my skin again
Like the first day
You gave me love
It will be my light
I'll carry it within me
And if I'm too cold
It will warm me beneath the earth
And you, my beautiful child
I would only have the time
To show you the word love
When I've flown over the wind
When I've crossed nothingness
To find myself before the great giant
I'll watch over you
I gave birth to you
Remember your mother
Above all, don't forget
The fury of love
Is equal to the fury of war
Goodbye, my tender lover
My sweet child
My two loves
Goodbye my beautiful country
Goodbye my New France
My New France
