Prière pour rester belle [English translation]

As certain as the sun burns

In the autumn, my rose will wither

I already see myself becoming old

I see myself, yes, but don't recognize me

To all the gods, to all the skies

I beg you, let me keep it

The pink that makes my cheeks beautiful

I beg you, it is all I have

My skin is not as soft as yesterday

And my chant less fiery than before

My gaze that was strong and proud

Hesitates, hesitates and does not decide

To all the gods, to all the skies

I beg you, let me keep it

This beauty of which I was queen

I beg you, let me keep it

My hands that tremble from being human

I wanted so much, as an offering

Since I don't have anything else

For begging the eternal

To all the gods, to all the skies

For just a while, let me keep it

This beauty, serene weapon

The time of this life will suffice

Or swear to me that I am more than that

Yes, talk to me about this thing

That traverses the ages

Tell me "Your soul is immortal,

This body is nothing, only it will age"

To all the gods, to all the skies

This prayer, listen to it

If my mask should turn to stone

May my bonfire not extinguish
