Lyrics
L'adieu Aux Anciens
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.
In this naked light so close to madness
This orgy carried to bloodshed
The partisan on the rooftop
The fiddler in the street
A piece of drunken excess in a freezing dawn
Speckled, white petals
The breeze struck chill to the bone
My hands numb
The athlet's lotion
Their rebirth in distant martyrdom
Places a burden on the heart
Forever urging me on
In ceaseless motion
Things can never emerge from words...
["Nichts...nichts kann mich von euch trennen
Alles muss weitergehen
Die Ewigkeit...die Ewigkeit..."] 7
["et dont nous avons tous l'ordre de ne sortir que morts ou vainqueurs, vous gonfliez vos âmes d'ardeur et de décision. C'est à vous que je pense en écrivant, à vous qui devrez mourir en acceptant le baptême de la mort avec la sérénité de vos ancêtres, à vous qui devez passez par-dessus vos morts, et par-dessus leurs tombaux en brandissant dans vos mains le drapeau triomphant, en chantant « et si c'était à refaire, je referais ce chemin."]
