Words
the hour sounded!
Seven years with the dawn
Is past!
the flood
Lassé rejects me at once.
Ah! Superb ocean, soon
Your floods will still carry me!
Your rage expires and my sorrow is without end!
I seek in vain
On this ground,
That in which I hope.
Sea, you will be the witness of my evils!
Until the moment when the abyss in rest
Will see drying up the floods finally!
How much time, tired to suffer,
I run to face the storm!
Hélàs! Death seemed to flee me.
In vain my rage
has many shelves
Souvent required the shipwreck!
Jamais does not open my coffin.
Parfois I faced the pirate,
Seeking in the engagements death.
Come! Come! how your bravery bursts!
the money streams on my edge!
Of the seas I saw the wild child
While signing itself with far fleeing!
How much time, wanting to die,
I defied the winds, the storm!
In the hope of a coffin,
Souvent I went to seek the shelf;
But nor falls it,
Ah! nor death!
Such is the cruel stop of the fate!
Such is the cruel stop of the fate!
Angel of the sky, messenger of hope,
Which safety showed the way to me,
By announcing one day of delivery, to me
did you scoff at my cruel destiny?
Angel of the sky, messenger of hope,
Which safety showed the way to me,
By announcing one day of delivery, to me
did you scoff at my cruel destiny?
In vain I hope,
superfluous Wishes!
On ground
a faithful heart it is not any more!
Only one hope encor remains to me
And this hope never do not lie.
So long that is to say this disastrous fate,
the world will however have its end!
celestial O day
Of the judgment,
When must you shine
Finally for me?
That it sounds, this signal of fear
Which must all lose and all to destroy!
When deaths are raised,
When deaths are raised,
Enfin peace awaits me then,
Enfin peace awaits me then!
When deaths are raised,
Enfin peace awaits me, then, awaits me then!
O worlds, cease your course!
has me, nothing, with me! With me!
has us, nothing, and for always!
has us, nothing, and for always!
