J'ai déposé ces fleurs de printemps
I put down these spring flowers
Endeuillées, dispersées au vent
Mourning, scattered to the wind
Jardinières empressées
Eager planters
Les yeux noyés
Eyes drowned
Comme je les hais
How I hate them
Ces murs épais
These thick walls
Sous mes pas, à six pieds sous terre
Under my feet, six feet underground
Des baisers de ronces et de lierre
Kisses of brambles and ivy
Passagère enlacée
Passenger hugging
Moins solitaire
Less lonely
Comme je les hais
How I hate them
Ces murs épais de vie
These thick walls of life
Coup de mes doigts griffés
Strike from my clawed fingers
Perles si rouges
Pearls so red
Sauvages ronces vengées
Wild brambles avenged
Moi dehors
Me outside
Toi dessous
You below
Cris muets, muets
Mute, mute cries
J'ai déposé ces fleurs de l'été
I placed these summer flowers
Du muguet, jasmins
Lily of the valley, jasmine
Jardinières empressées
Eager planters
Les yeux fermés
Eyes closed
Comme je les hais
How I hate them
Ces murs épais
These thick walls
Comme je les hais
How I hate them
Ces murs épais
These thick walls
Quand je les hais
When I hate them
