Translation of the song lyrics Nostradamus - Alphaville

Nostradamus (original)

Estant assis de nuict secret estude
Seul reposé sur la selle d’aerain:
Flambe exigue sortant de sollitude
Fait prospérer qui n’est à croire vain
La verge en main mise au milieu de branches
De l’onde il moulle & le limbe & le pied:
Un peur & voix fremissent par les manches:
Splendeur divine.
le divin pres s’assied
Le regne humain d’angelique geniture
Fera son regne paix union tenir:
Captive guerre demy de sa closture
Long temps la paix leur fera maintenir
En la frontiere de caussade & charlus
Non guieres loing du fond de la vallee
De ville franche musique à son de luths
Environnez combouls & grand mittee
Avant long temps le tout sera rangé
Nous esperons un siecle bien senestre:
L’estat des masques & des seuls bien changé
Peu trouveront qu'à son rang vueille estre
Le prochain fils de l’aisnier parviendra
Tant eslevé iusqu’au regne des fors:
Son aspre gloire un chacun la craindra
Mais ses enfans du regne gettez hors
Le regne humain d’angelique geniture.

Nostradamus (translation)

Sitting secretly studying by night
Alone resting on the aerial saddle:
Cramped Flambe Emerging from Solitude
Makes prosper which is not to be believed in vain
Rod in hand set among branches
From the wave it molds & the limb & the foot:
A fear & voice quivers through the sleeves:
Divine Splendor.
the divine near sits
The human kingdom of angelique geniture
Will make his reign peace union hold:
Captive war demy of her enclosure
Long time peace will cause them to maintain
On the border of Caussade & Charlus
Not far from the bottom of the valley
From frank city music to the sound of lutes
Around Combouls & Grand Mitee
Before long everything will be tidied up
We hope for a very sinister century:
The state of the masks & the only ones has changed a lot
Few will find that at his rank sees to be
The next son of the aisnier will reach
As high as the kingdom of the fortresses:
Her bitter glory everyone will fear her
But his children of the kingdom get out
The human kingdom of angelic geniture.
