Le fils du roi, trop confiant
The king's son, overconfident
Guida sa belle au bord de l'étang
Guided his beauty to the edge of the pond
D'un geste lent, a tiré
With a slow gesture, pulled
Le mauvais canard est tombé
The bad duck has fallen
La blanche bête sentit son flanc
The white beast felt his side
Tout lentement se vider de son sang
Slowly bleeding out
Du doux plumage privé du vent
Soft plumage deprived of the wind
S'enfuit son dernier printemps
Runs away his last spring
Tu as tué mon canard blanc
You killed my white duck
Tu as tué mon canard blanc
You killed my white duck
Ô fils du roi, tu es méchant!
O son of the king, you are wicked!
La douce belle s'enfuit dans la nuit
The sweet beauty flees into the night
Qui lentement envahit le temps
Which slowly invades time
Son pauvre prince perdit la vie
Her poor prince lost his life
Au fond d'un sillon rouge sang
At the bottom of a blood red furrow
Tu as tué mon canard blanc
You killed my white duck
Tu as tué mon canard blanc
You killed my white duck
Ô fils du roi, tu es méchant!
O son of the king, you are wicked!
La douce belle a épousé
The sweet beauty has married
Un noir seigneur au coeur masqué
A black lord with a masked heart
Un sombre diable qui dans l'ombre guettait
A dark devil who in the shadows watched
Cette proie facile à emporter
This easy-to-carry prey
Le noir seigneur fut démasqué
The dark lord was unmasked
La belle plongea vers son prince oublié
The beauty dove towards her forgotten prince
Dans une étreinte d'éternité
In an eternity embrace
Là où dans l'ombre
Where in the shadows
La lumière pourra briller.
The light may shine
