Paroles (translated lyrics below)

La Prière

Je ne sais pas si il y a un au-delà
Mais aujourd'hui je veux bien vendre mon âme
Elle n'a certainement pas beaucoup de valeur
Mais n'a jamais failli au combat, à l'honneur
Je veux bien vous laisser tous mes rêves mes cauchemars
Mon imperfection et tout mon courage
Je serai votre obligé pour toute l'éternité
Et je vivrai chaque instant pour vous dédommager

Oh ! toi prince des sombres ténèbres
Et toi dieu des blanches Olympes

Ecoutez ma prière, la prière d'un bouffon
Qui veut seulement un peu de répit
Pour pouvoir jouer son ultime pion
Et se défendre avant de donner sa pauvre vie

Avez-vous entendu mes prières ?
Avez-vous entendu mes cris ?
J'attends un signe
Je vous donnerai tout
Mais sauvez-moi
Enfermé dans une cage comme un lion
A écouter les étoiles chanter leurs tristes plaintes
Elles me donnent leurs dernières recommandations
Avant que la flamme de ma bougie soit éteinte
Entendez divinités sourdes et de pacotille
Il est trop tôt pour moi pour vous quitter pour partir
J'ai l'impression d'avoir quelque chose à finir
Ecoutez ma prière et rajoutez sur mon feu quelques brindilles

Ecoutez ma prière, la prière d'un bouffon
Qui veut seulement un peu de répit
Pour pouvoir jouer son ultime pion
Et se défendre avant de donner sa pauvre vie
-----------------
The Prayer

I don't know if there's a hereafter
But today I'm willing to sell my soul
It certainly isn’worth much
But it never failed in battle, never failed in honor
I'm willing to leave you all my dreams, my nightmares
My imperfection and all my courage
I will owe you for all eternity
And I will live every moment to repay you

Oh! you Prince of dark shadows
And you, God of the white Olympuses

Hear my prayer, the prayer of a jester
Who only wants some respite
To move his ultimate pawn
And defend himself before giving his worthless life

Have you heard my prayers?
Have you heard my cries?
I'm waiting for a sign
I'll give you anything
But please save me
Locked up in a cage like a lion
Listening to the stars sing their sad laments
They give me their last recommendations
Before the flame of my candle burns out
Hear me, deaf and vain divinities
It's too early for me to leave you and vanish
I feel I have something to finish
Hear my prayer and add a few twigs to my fire

Hear my prayer, the prayer of a jester
Who only wants some respite
To move his ultimate pawn
And defend himself before giving his worthless life
