Le regard éternel
Language: French (Français) 
Cette nuit, j'ai rêvé que mon amie était morte.
Mon amie était morte, couchée dans le tombeau.

Moi, aussi, j'étais mort, et j'étais là, près d'elle.
Alors, j'ai rêvé que nous nous regardions.

Mon amie était morte, j'étais couché près d'elle.
Cette nuit, j'ai rêvé que je vivais enfin !

Couché dans le tombeau, ses yeux tout près des miens, 
cette nuit, j'ai rêvé que nous nous regardions,

que nous nous regardions d'un regard éternel,
que nous nous regardions, que nous nous regardions...
