Que je m'ennuie entre ces murs tout nus
Language: French (Français)
Available translation(s): CAT ENG
Que je m'ennuie entre ces murs tout nus
Et peints de couleurs pâles
Une mouche sur le papier à pas menus
Parcourt mes lignes inégales
Que deviendrai-je ô Dieu qui connais ma douleur
Toi qui me l'as donnée
Prends en pitié mes yeux sans larmes ma pâleur
Le bruit de ma chaise enchaînée
Et tous ces pauvres cœurs battant dans la prison
L'Amour qui m'accompagne
Prends en pitié surtout ma débile raison
Et ce désespoir qui la gagne
D. Shostakovich sets stanzas 2-3

What will become of me, oh God you know...
Language: English  after the French (Français)
What will become of me, oh God you know my sorrow
since you gave it to me,
have pity on my tearless eyes, my pallor,
and on all these poor hearts beating in the prison.
The Love that keeps me company,
above all, have pity on my frail reason,
and on this despair that overruns it.
