C'est le vent du nord
It's the north wind
Du sable plein les yeux
Sand in your eyes
J'ai fait tant d'efforts
I put in so much effort
Mais ai échoué de peu
But narrowly failed
Au loin la clameur
In the distance the clamor
De vacanciers heureux
Happy holidaymakers
Un séquencier de bleus
A sequence of blues
De bleus
Blues
C'est le vent du nord
It's the north wind
Celui qui vient des terres
The one who comes from the land
Qui brûle si fort
Who burns so hard
Les lèvres et les paupières
Lips and eyelids
Mais ce soir encore
But tonight again
Ce soir je sonne creux
Tonight I ring hollow
J'ai échoué de peu de peu
I failed narrowly
Rita sainte
Rita Sainte
Priez pour nous
Pray for us
Noire absinthe
Black absinthe
Que votre sang coule en nos cous
Let your blood flow down our necks
Rita sainte
Rita Sainte
Tout au-dessus
All above
Du labyrinthe
From the labyrinth
De peuples en peine
Peoples in pain
D'âmes perdues
Lost souls
Serait-ce un décor
Could it be a decor
Ou l'effet de la fin?
Or the effect of the end?
J'ai vendu mon corps
I sold my body
J'le vendais pas très bien
I wasn't selling it very well
Tel un saint céphalophore
Like a holy cephalophore
La tête entre les mains
Head in hands
J'entends passer le train
I hear the train passing by
Pas loin
Not far away
Rita sainte
Rita Sainte
Priez pour nous
Pray for us
Noire absinthe
Black absinthe
Que votre sang coule en nos cous
Let your blood flow down our necks
Rita sainte
Rita Sainte
Ouvre les bras
Open your arms
N'ait nulle crainte
Have no fear
Nous sommes à genoux devant toi
We are kneeling before you
Priez pour nous sainte rita
Pray for us Saint Rita
