Mourir sur scène [English translation]

Come,

But do not come when I'm alone

When the curtain falls one day

I want them to fall behind me

Come,

But do not come when I'm alone

I who chose everything in my life

I want to choose my death as well

There are those who want

Die on a rainy day

And others in bright sunlight

There are those who want to

Die alone in bed

Quiet in their sleep

I want to die on stage

In front of projectors

Yes, I want to die on stage

Heart open all in color

Die without the slightest pain

At the last rendez-vous

I want to die on stage

Singing till the end

Come,

But do not come when I'm alone

We both already know

We almost met, remember

Come,

But do not come when I'm alone

Chose above all a gala evening

If you want to dance with me

My life has been burned under

Too much light

I cannot depart in the shadow

I want to die

Shot through lasers

Before a full house

I want to die on stage

In front of projectors

Yes, I want to die on stage

Heart open all in color

Die without the slightest pain

At the last rendez-vous

I want to die on stage

Singing till the end

Die without the slightest pain

In a well-orchestrated death

I want to die on stage

This is where I was born
