Transcription
Quelqu’un qui m’aimerait un peu
Ma misère serait moins profonde
Car tout seul on est si malheureux
Oui j’avais autrefois une amie
100 fois plus belle que le jour
Un ami jaloux me l’a ravie
Je l’ai tué pour venger mon amour
Enchaîné presqu’au fond de la terre
Tout seul dans un sombre cachot
Oui je pleure en faisant ma prière
Mais personne ne peut entendre mes sanglots
Demain je reverrai le soleil
Avant de monter sur l’échafaud
Le bourreau dont la main si cruelle
Sur mes yeux baissera le bandeau
Et à l’éternité il me lancera
Pour paraître devant mon Créateur
Oui j’ai peur oui j’ai peur et je tremble
De la main de ce juge sans peur
Translation
No. 82: “Somewhere in this world”
If there was somewhere in this world
Someone who would love me a little
Misery would not be so deep
For alone one is miserable
Yes, once upon a time I had a friend
A hundred times more beautiful than day
A jealous friend took her away
I killed him to avenge my love
Chained almost at the bottom of the earth
Alone in a dark dungeon
I cry while I pray
But no one can hear my sobs
Tomorrow I’ll see the sun again
Before ascending the scaffold
The torturer whose cruel hand
Will lower the mask
And will throw me to eternity
So that I’ll appear before my Maker
Yes I fear yes I fear and I tremble
In the hand of this fearless judge
If there was somewhere in this world
Someone who would love me a little
Misery would not be so deep
For alone one is miserable
Yes, once upon a time I had a friend
A hundred times more beautiful than day
A jealous friend took her away
I killed him to avenge my love
Chained almost at the bottom of the earth
Alone in a dark dungeon
I cry while I pray
But no one can hear my sobs
Tomorrow I’ll see the sun again
Before ascending the scaffold
The torturer whose cruel hand
Will lower the mask
And will throw me to eternity
So that I’ll appear before my Maker
Yes I fear yes I fear and I tremble
In the hand of this fearless judge
