Je saigne en regardant ma vie
Language: French (Français)
Available translation(s): ENG GER
Je saigne en regardant ma vie
Qui va s'éloigner sur les flots ;
Mon âme unique m'est ravie
Et la sombre clameur des flots
Couvre le bruit de mes sanglots.
Qui sait si cette mer cruelle
La ramènera vers mon cœur ?
Mes regards sont fixés sur elle;
La mer chante, et le vent moqueur
Raille l'angoisse de mon cœur.

I bleed, watching my life
Language: English  after the French (Français)
I bleed, watching my life
Distance itself from me upon the waves;
My very soul is torn away
And the dark clamoring of the waves
Covers the noise of my sobs.
Who knows if this cruel sea
Will lead her toward my heart again?
My gazes are fixed upon her;
The sea sings, and the mocking wind
Scoffs at the anguish of my heart.
