| Incapable de bouger son corps,
| Unable to move his body,
|
| Sentir sa mémoire s’en aller.
| To feel his memory slipping away.
|
| Sa terreur fut son dernier effort
| His terror was his last effort
|
| Et il n’a jamais plus parlé.
| And he never spoke again.
|
| Il est assis, il est couché,
| He sits, he lies,
|
| Des heures à fixer le soleil
| Hours staring at the sun
|
| Et quand les nuits sont étoilées,
| And when the nights are starry,
|
| Son cerveau entend les abeilles.
| His brain hears the bees.
