D'un Ave Maria [English translation]

When all passions come to be extinguished too soon

and of one song, we remember just one word,

if I don't know where I'm going, I know, what I'll leave

when all loves come to be short of time

and everywhere we run without looking where we're going

despite what we want to keep, nevertheless we must part

Chorus

All the Hail Marys

come soon enough.

This Hail Mary

will be my present.

All the Hail Marys

come sooner or later,

this Hail Mary will sound my going away.

When I've finished thinking of tomorrow

and I've taken everything or postponed for too long

I won't keep any regret about what I've done or not done

even if sense comes to an end in good time

there's no bill that one must pay before

you let me choose the choice and the manner of my end.

Chorus

All the Hail Marys

come soon enough.

This Hail Mary

will be my present.

All the Hail Marys

come sooner or later,

this Hail Mary will sound my going away.

When all passions come to be extinguished too soon

and of one song, we remember just one word,

if I don't know where I'm going, I know, what I'll leave,

what I'll leave.
