La Foule [English translation]

I see the city in celebration, delirious

Suffocating under the sun and joy

And I hear in the music, the screams, the laughs

That burst and rebound around me

And lost between these people that are hustling me

Dazed and helpless, I stay here

When suddenly, I turn around, he steps back,

And the crown comes and throws me in his arms.

Carried by the crowd

That drags and leads us

Crushed one against the other

We form a single body

And the flow, without effort

Pushes us, chains one to the other

Ecstatic, drunk and happy

Swept away by the crowd that soars

And that dances

A mad dance

Both our hands stays welded

And sometimes raised

Our two bodies interwined fly

And we both fall back

Ecstatic, drunk and happy

And the joy splashed by its smile

Penetrates me and reflects inside of me

But suddenly I scream between the laughs

When the crowd comes and wrenches him from my arms

Swept away by the crowd that drags

And pushes us

And furthers us one another

I struggle and I fight

But the sound of my voice

Suffocates in the laughs of others

And I scream in pain, in anger and in rage

And i cry

And dragged by the crowd that soars

And dances

A mad dance

I'm carried far off

And I clench my fists, cursing the crowned that stole

The man she gave me

That I never found again
