Mais Madame écoutez‑moi donc
Language: French (Français)
Available translation(s): CAT ENG GER
Mais Madame écoutez-moi donc
Vous perdez quelque chose
- C'est mon coeur pas grand-chose
Ramassez-le donc
Je l'ai donné je l'ai repris
Il fut là-bas dans les tranchées
Il est ici j'en ris j'en ris
Des belles amours que la mort a fauchées

Madame, look!
Language: English  after the French (Français)
Madame, look!
You have lost something.
It's my heart -- not much of a thing!
So pick it up.
I have given it, and I have taken it back.
It was down there in the trenches.
Now it's here and I laugh at them, I laugh at them,
at the beautiful loves scythed down by death.
