Que sont mes amis devenus
What have become of my friends?
Qua j'avais de si près tenus et tant aimés
That I had held so closely and loved so much
Ils ont été trop clairsemés
They were too sparse
Je crois le vent les a ôtés
I think the wind took them away
L'amour est mort-e
Love is dead
Ce sont amis que vent emporte
These are friends that the wind carries
Et il ventait devant ma porte les emporta
And the wind outside my door carried them away
Avec le temps qu'arbre défeuille
With time the tree leaves
Quand il ne reste en branche feuille
When there is no leaf left in the branch
Qui n'aille à terre
Who doesn't go ashore
Avec pauvreté qui m'atterre
With poverty that devastates me
Qui de partout me fait la guerre
Who makes war on me everywhere
L'amour est mort-e
Love is dead
Ne convient pas que vous raconte
Doesn't fit what you're telling
Comment je me suis mis à ho
How I got into ho
En quelle manière que sont mes amis devenus
How have my friends become
Que j'avais de si près tenus et tant aimés
That I had held so closely and loved so much
Ils ont été trop clairsemés
They were too sparse
Je crois le vent les a ôtés
I think the wind took them away
L'amour est mort-e
Love is dead
Le mal ne sait pas seul venir
Evil does not know how to come alone
Tout ce qui m'était à venir m'est avenu
Everything that was to come to me has come to me
Pauvre sens et pauvre mémoire
Poor sense and poor memory
M'a Dieu donné le roi de gloire
God gave me the king of glory
Et pauvre rente
And poor income
Et droit sur moi quand bise vente
And right on me when kisses sale
Le vent me vient le vent m'évente
The wind comes to me the wind blows me
L'amour est mort-e
Love is dead
Ce sont amis que vent emporte
These are friends that the wind carries
Et il ventait devant ma porte les emporta
And the wind outside my door carried them away
Les emporta
took them away
