Chanson de la sorcière [English translation]

I'm dressed in black robes

I can only live at night

I have nails as long as the winter

And I'm scary, I'm a witch

I dwell in the castle of ghosts

Cruelty, it's my realm

I'm the mother of all demons

Of the abyss, I'm a witch

But I broke all my stills, full of hemlocks, full of arsenic

I'm waiting for the prince charming, for the prince of blood

Who will someday come, to release me, to save me

I'd like to, for the first time,

love someone other than me

All my poisons, my spells,

one of these mornings, got me trapped

I'm afraid of everything I've done

From the pleasure, I go over to regrets

But I broke all my stills, full of hemlocks, full of arsenic

I'm waiting for the prince charming, for the prince of blood

Who will someday come, to release me, to save me

I'd like to, for the first time,

love someone other than me

However, why is there always a hatred?

I hope they'd tell me one day "witch, I love you, witch, I love you"

However every evening, in my decor,

I open the ball of my remorse

I'm the solitary queen

In a country of fire and iron

But I broke all my stills, full of hemlocks, full of arsenic

I'm waiting for the prince charming, for the prince of blood

Who will someday come, to release me, to save me

I'd like to, for the first time,

love someone other than me
