Le Roi Soleil a froid [English translation]

The Sun King 1 is cold

The Queen does not come

And his heart laments

He traverses Versailles

Like a battlefield

His love is growing impatient

Nothing can distract him

Neither the works of Moliere

Neither the Diva who sings

Neither war treaties

Neither peace, misery

Provinces waiting

The Sun King is cold

The Queen does not come

And his anger rises

That one is battling the countryside

From Burgundy to Brittany

To track down the missing one

The horses that are saddled

It is to find the one

That plays the immigrants

Neither Monsieur Colbert

Neither all these ministers

Don't have any more urgent matters

Chorus

A rose is no longer in the garden

A rose and the king go off [lit. "turn off"]

Every thing has

always an end

Only roses

keep their scent

The Sun King is cold

The Queen left him here

To the ringing mornings

She laughs in her coach

In these substations

As an adolescent

She goes from King Louis

Who loved only him

And his intriguing court

The Sun King is cold

The chamberlain will say

That the moon is distant

Chorus (bis)

The Sun King is cold

1. The Sun King is a sobriquet of Louis XIV of France.
