Ils brisèrent leurs ailes à la fin du mystère
They broke their wings at the end of the mystery
A vouloir séduire la belle, faire reluire son regard
To want to seduce the beauty, to make her eyes shine
Seuls les nobles sangs pouvaient tenter leur chance
Only noble bloods could take a chance
Mais pour caresser la belle, il fallait l'affronter
But to caress the beauty, you had to face her
En combat singulier, au sabre ou à l'épée
In single combat, with saber or sword
Elle ne donnait qu'une leçon, la dernière sans remission
She only gave one lesson, the last without remission
Si le sang boit le sang, la vie n'a plus de sens
If blood drinks blood, life no longer has meaning
Si le sang boit le sang, non vraiment plus rien n'a d'importance
If blood drinks blood, no really nothing matters anymore
Les nobles furent outrés de cette vaste hécatombe
The nobles were outraged by this vast slaughter
Il fallait clouer la belle aux tréfonds d'une tombe
The beauty had to be nailed to the depths of a tomb
Ils se rendirent quérir un bel et noble sire
They went to fetch a handsome and noble lord
Tombeur de femmes et fine lame pour enfin la faire périr
Woman-killer and fine blade to finally kill her
Si le sang boit le sang, la vie n'a plus de sens
If blood drinks blood, life no longer has meaning
Si le sang boit le sang, non vraiment plus rien n'a d'importance
If blood drinks blood, no really nothing matters anymore
Mais entre ces deux-là, un grand courant passa
But between these two, a great current passed
L'amour vibrait plus que fort, pourrait-il vaincre la mort
Love vibrated more than loud, could it defeat death
Un mystérieux parchemin croisa leur destin
A mysterious parchment crossed their destiny
L'expéditive demoiselle en perdit ses ailes
The expeditious young lady lost her wings
De son adversaire elle partageait le père
Of her adversary she shared the father
Dans leurs vifs vaisseaux coulait la meme rivière
In their lively vessels flowed the same river
Si le sang boit le sang, la vie n'a plus de sens
If blood drinks blood, life no longer has meaning
Si le sang boit le sang, non vraiment plus rien n'a d'importance
If blood drinks blood, no really nothing matters anymore
Brisera-t-elle son serment, faire rendre gorge aux nobles
Will she break her oath, make the nobles give up their throats
Et bien laver dans le sang l'affront fait à sa mère
And wash well in blood the affront made to his mother
Délaissé dans la boue en raison de son rang
Left in the mud because of his rank
Son père ce noble salaud l'avait larguée lâchement
Her father, that noble bastard, dumped her cowardly
Si le sang boit le sang, la vie n'a plus de sens
If blood drinks blood, life no longer has meaning
Si le sang boit le sang, non vraiment plus rien n'a d'importance
If blood drinks blood, no really nothing matters anymore
Son frère retrouvé trancha le débat
His brother found settled the debate
Car malgré leur sang mêlé, elle fondit dans ses bras
Because despite their mixed blood, she melted in his arms
Cet amour interdit fut entre tous béni
This forbidden love was among all blessed
Il fut panacée du coeur et la haine s'évanouit
He was panacea from the heart and the hatred vanished
