lyrics

Quelle est cett' fleur, dans ta main ?
Peux-tu la nommer ? Peux-tu ?

Quel son font les étoiles ?
Peux-tu l'entendre ? Peux-tu ?

Quand viendra mon heure, seigneur ?
Dans combine de temps ? Combien ?

Au-delà des murs du château
Repose le mal, le mal .

À quell' distance est la tempête ?
Loin de nous ? De nous ?

Quand viendra mon heure, seigneur ?
Dans combine de temps ? Combien ?

Où est la pierre tombale ?
Peux-tu la trouver ? Peux-tu ?

~

What is this flow'r, in your hand?
Can you name it? Can you?

What sound do the stars make?
Can you hear it? Can you?

And when will my hour come, oh lord?
When will my time come, oh when?

And outside the castle walls,
is it evil? It is?

And how far is the coming storm?
How far, how far?

And when will my hour come, oh lord?
When will my time come, oh when?

Where is the gravestone?
Can you find it? Can you?
