Avant d'entrer dans ma céllule
Il a fallu me mettre nu
Et quelle voix sinistre ulule
Guillaume qu'es-tu devenu
Le Lazare entrant dans la tombe
Au lieu d'en sortir comme il fit
Adieu adieu chantante ronde
O mes années ô jeunes filles

Before entering my cell
Language: English  after the French (Français)
Before entering my cell
I had to strip naked.
And what a sinister voice howls
Guillaume, what has become of you?
Farewell, farewell, singing round,
oh my bygone years, oh my young girls!
Lazarus entering the tomb
instead of getting out of it, as he did.
