See originalLanguage: French (Français)
C'est mon feu, c'est ma cordelle,
Mon froid, ma flèche mortelle.
C'est mon aigle dévorant,
Qui m'ard, lie, englace et blesse,
Et qui dévore sans cesse
Mon coeur sans cesse mourant.

It is my fire, it is my rope,
My cold, my mortal arrow.
It is my devouring eagle,
Which burns, ties, freezes, and wounds,
And which devours endlessly
My ever-dying heart.
