Marie [English translation]

O Mary, if you knew

All the harm done to me

O Mary, if only I could have

In your naked arms

Remained ensconced

My innocence has faded away

You were for me the last chance

Little by little you drifted away

Despite my desperate efforts

And nothing will ever be the same

I have seen more of horrors than wonders

Men have gone mad tied to a woman

I would give anything to forget

O Mary, if you knew

All the harm done to me

O Mary, if only I could have

In your naked arms

Remained ensconced

And I run all day

Not knowing where I go

In the noise in the smoke

I see shadows kill one another

Tomorrow will be the great day

One will have to demonstrate bravery

To reach the front of the first line

Oh Marie, I beg you, show me a sign

Lying in the grass, I awake

I saw death in her birthday suit

She promised me a vacation

Yes death promised me her last dance

Oh Marie, if you knew

All the harm done to me

Oh Marie, I will wait

Until in heaven you come

To find me

Oh Marie, I will wait

Until in heaven you come

To find me
