La Complainte Du Bourreau(original) |
Quand pour les bourreaux |
Le sol tremble, |
Au petit jour, au petit jour, |
C’est signe, qu’un juste, |
Voit juste, |
À la juste, |
Hauteur du jour. |
Signe que vont s’ouvrir ensemble, |
Toutes les grilles et les tours, |
Et que le juste et la passante, |
Liberté, |
Jailliront au jour. |
Dans la demi-clarté, où tremblent |
Les bourreaux, pour qui le sol tremble. |
Dans la demi-clarté, où tremblent |
Les bourreaux, pour qui le sol tremble. |
Les bourreaux, pour qui le sol tremble, |
Les bourreaux, pour qui le sol tremble. |
(translation) |
When for the executioners |
The ground shakes, |
At dawn, at dawn, |
It is a sign that a just man |
just see, |
Fair enough, |
Height of the day. |
Sign that will open together, |
All grids and towers, |
And that the just and the passerby, |
Freedom, |
Will spring to light. |
In the half-light, where tremble |
The executioners, for whom the ground shakes. |
In the half-light, where tremble |
The executioners, for whom the ground shakes. |
The executioners, for whom the ground trembles, |
The executioners, for whom the ground shakes. |
