Les Amants de Teruel [English translation]
Les Amants de Teruel [English translation]
These lovers
now lying side by side
have met to walk forth
next to one another.
They met in death
since life could not understand them.
They met in love,
since hate could not reach them.
And the leaves fall and fall
on their nuptial bed.
May the earth be kind to them,
kind to the lovers from Teruel
united at last in shadows...
They're sleeping now
next to one another.
They sleep, free of
the daybreak disquiet.
Hand in hand
immobile like in a prayer,
renewing their vows
in the quiet eternity of stones.
Night ushers them in,
everything goes back to normal.
Their embrace remains
forever lingering
like an organ note...
- Artist:Édith Piaf
