Orphée (original)Orphée (translation)
Orphée, je sais quel est ton mal. Orpheus, I know what's wrong with you.
J’ai connu ton chagrin, je connais ton mystère. I have known your sorrow, I know your mystery.
Orphée, le monde n’est qu’un bal Orpheus, the world is just a ball
Oùta voix désormais demeure solitaire. Where your voice henceforth remains solitary.
Pourtant, tu ne chantes que l’amour, Yet you only sing of love,
Un amour qui sourit et t'éclaire. A love that smiles and enlightens you.
Hélas, tes rêves, tes beaux discours Alas, your dreams, your fine speeches
Ne sont pas pour l’enfer oùnous vivons nos jours. Are not for the hell where we live these days.
Orphée, je sais quel est ton mal. Orpheus, I know what's wrong with you.
J’ai connu ton destin, tes joies et tes poèmes. I have known your destiny, your joys and your poems.
Orphée, le monde est un rival Orpheus, the world is a rival
Qui méprise aujourd’hui le meilleur de toi-même. Who today despises the best of you.
Oublie les charmes d’autrefois. Forget the charms of yesteryear.
Oublie tes dangereux «je t’aime» Forget your dangerous "I love you"
Leur temps n’est plus car d’autres lois Their time is over because other laws
S’imposent ànos coeurs sans amour et sans foi. Impose themselves on our loveless and faithless hearts.
Orphée, il faut cacher tes larmes, Orpheus, you must hide your tears,
Savoir oùsont tes armes Know where your weapons are
En ce monde banal. In this mundane world.
Ta chance, c’est d’entrer dans la danse Your chance is to join the dance
Et d'être admis, je pense, And to be admitted, I think,
Parmi les gens du bal. Among the people at the ball.
Orphée, si tu souris, guéri, Orpheus, if you smile, heal,
C’est qu’il ne reste rien Is there's nothing left
D’un rêve qui fut le mien.From a dream that was mine.
