Brume
Mist
Le jour se leve
The day rises
Ombre et tempete
Shadow and storm
Il s'ennui
He is bored
Elle, la Sainte Helene
She, the Saint Helena
Qui sait sa fievre lui dit
Who knows his fever tells him
Reve
Dream
D'un autre reve
Of another dream
D'une ile d'Elbe
Of an Elba island
Ton amie
Your friend
C'est ta seve
It's your sap
Accours vers celle
Come quickly to her
Qui t'es fidele et puis t'oublie
Who is faithful to you and then forgets you
En amour
In love
Compter les batailles qui t'ont fait mal
Count the battles that have hurt you
Plus d'amour
No more love
Tous les equipages ont pris le large
All the crews have set sail
Pauvre amour
Poor love
Je cueille ta fierte qui s'est blessee
I gather your pride that has been hurt
Oh! Amour
Oh! Love
Faut-il que ton deuil dure des annees
Must your mourning last for years
Pour m'aimer
To love me
Aigle
Eagle
Le jour s'eleve
The day rises
Qui te celebre
Who celebrates you
C'est ainsi
That's how it is
Elle, la Belle Helene
She, the Beautiful Helen
Rejoint la terre des "Maudits"
Joins the land of the 'Cursed'
"L'ogre" git sous l'ecorce
'The ogre' lies beneath the bark
Mais dans sa poche un lourd secret
But in his pocket a heavy secret
C'est lui l'homme
He's the man
Qui se melange
Who gets mixed up
Aux pluies de cendres, que j'aimais
In the ashes of rain, that I loved
En amour
In love
Compter les batailles qui t'ont fait mal
Counting the battles that hurt you
Plus d'amour
No more love
Tous les equipages ont pris le large
All the crews have set sail
Pauvre amour
Poor love
Je cueille ta fierte qui s'est blessee
I gather your pride that has been wounded
Oh! Amour
Oh! Love
Faut-il que ton deuil dure des annees
Must your mourning last for years
Pour m'aimer, qu'ici
To love me, here
En amour
In love
Compter les batailles qui t'ont fait mal
Counting the battles that have hurt you
Plus d'amour
No more love
Tous les equipages ont pris le large
All the crews have set sail
Pauvre amour
Poor love
Je cueille ta fierte qui s'est blessee
I gather your pride which has been wounded
Oh! Amour
Oh! Love
Faut-il que ton deuil dure des annees
Must your mourning last for years
Pour m'aimer
To love me
