Hello father, mother
Hello dear parents,
And of course Céline
Whom my heart so dearly loves”
His father answers:
“But your Céline is dead,
But your Céline is dead
She died calling out to you
Her body is underground
And her soul in heaven”
Then the gentleman goes
To cry on her grave:
“Céline, my Céline
Talk, talk to me!
My heart despairs
Of not seeing you anymore…”
Céline answers him:
“My mouth is filled with earth,
My mouth is filled with earth…
Yours is filled with love!
I still cherish the hope
Of seeing you again someday…
