Mes chants sont empoisonnés

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Rosenhain)

See original

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Mes chants sont empoisonnés -
Comment pourrait-il en être autrement ?
Tu as versé du poison
Au plus profond de ma vie en fleur.

Mes chants sont empoisonnés -
Comment pourrait-il en être autrement ?
Je porte dans mon cœur de nombreux serpents,
Et toi, ma bien-aimée !
