Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mourir Au Soleil by Jean Ferrat from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Je voudrais mourir debout, dans un champ, au soleil
I would like to die standing, in a field, in the sun
Non dans un lit aux draps froissés, à l'ombre close des volets
Not in a bed with rumpled sheets, in the closed shadow of the shutters
Par où ne vient plus une abeille, une abeille
Where does a bee no longer come, a bee
Je voudrais mourir debout, dans un bois, au soleil
I would like to die standing, in a wood, in the sun
Sans entendre tout doucement, la porte et le chuchotement
Without hearing very softly, the door and the whisper
Sans objet des gens et des vieilles, et des vieilles
Without object of people and old women, and old women
Je voudrais mourir debout, n'importe où, au soleil
I would like to die standing, anywhere, in the sun
Tu ne serais pas là, j'aurai ta main que je pourrai serrer
You wouldn't be here, I'll have your hand that I can shake
La bouche pleine de groseilles, de groseilles
Mouth full of currants, currants
