Un homme s’est pendu [English translation]

A man hanged himself from a branch

The birds have sung above

Have sung the loves that begin

Have sung for the life that goes on

Oh oh oh oh oh...

Are we really nothing, my love

Mother, are we really that small?

This life, is this life really nothing?

A life is then nothing but a song?

Oh oh oh oh oh...

Is this how down here all is forgotten?

Is this why we are dragging along,

That we fight, that we endure one's life?

Is this how one morning this ends?

Oh oh oh oh oh...

A man hanged himself from a branch

The birds have sung above

Have sung the loves that begin

Have sung for the life that goes on

Oh oh oh oh oh...
