Ma révérence [English translation]

When I have no more Time

To always muster my courage,

Spent twenty years of mine

To see the World was a mirage

I'll bow out, I'll bow out

I shall bow out..

When my son is older

And does not need me any more,

The people who loved me,

Are taken away far from me

Oh I shall bow out to them

I shall bow out

When my life has softly

fallen asleep

And my Heart is so cold,

That it can't even throb at all

When it's just become some poor clock to repair, so weak,

There will be no more flame

There will be no more flame

There will be no woman

And all my faithful Friends

Have passed away one by one,

Thinking I was a beauty,

When my trips and Travels are done,

I'll be ashamed of my hands

I'll be ashamed of my hands

When I have no more Time

To always muster my courage,

Spent twenty years of mine

To see the World was a mirage

Then I'll hear it deep in my mind

This little voice that moans and whines

That I am all alone....
