Ceux qui, parmi les morts d'amour, Ont péri par le suicide Sont enterrés au carrefour Là s'épanouit et réside Une fleur bleue étrange fleur Aussi rare que sa couleur Aucun nom ne l'a désignée C'est la fleur de l'âme damnée! Pendant la nuit au carrefour Je soupire dans le silence Au clair de lune se balance La fleur des damnés de l'amour!

Among those who died from love, Those who perished by suicide Are buried at the crossroads. There blossoms and resides A blue flower, a strange flower As rare as its color. No name has it been given; It is the flower of the damned soul! During the night at the crossroads, I breathe in the silence. In the moonlight sways The flower of those damned through love!
