Paean to a fallen paladin
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Quand Roland sent que la mort s' empare de lui,
que de la tete elle lui descend au coeur,
il est alle en courant sous un pin ;
sur l' herbe verte is s' est couche face contre terre,
sous luis il met son epee at l' olifant.
Il se tourna, la tete face a l' ennemi paien ;
et il l' a fait parce qu' il veut a tout prix
que le roi Charles et tous les siens disent
du noble comte qu'il est mort en conquerant.
Il bat sa couple a petits coups repetes,
pour ses peches il presenta a Dieu son gant.
Roland sent bien que son temps est fini.
Face a l' Espagne, il est sur un sommet a pic,
il s' est frappe la pointe d'une main :
" Mea coulpa, mon Dieu, devant ta puissance redemptrice,
pour mes peches, les grands et les petits,
que j'ai commis depuis l'heure ou je naquis
jusqu'a ce jour ou me voici frappe a mort ! "
Il a tendu vers Dieu son gant droit :
Du ciel les anges descendent jusqu'a lui.
Roland est mort ; Dieu a son ame aux cieux.
