Sermonette [English translation]

If I believed in God

I would be happy

to dream of the day where I would see in the sky

an angel in white robe

on a clear Sunday

coming down towards me in a golden chariot

In (While making) a noise from the wings and silk

Far from all the earth

up there, I would see (him) rise before me

The burning light

The eternal happiness

If I believed in God

But I've seen too much hatred

much and much pain

and I know, my brother, that you will have to walk alone

while trying always

to save the love

that ties you to the people in the forgotten earth

Because right at the end of the road

a scythe in the hand

Death, laughingly, waits for us in no hurry

Also, my angel

I'm looking for him(her) in this world

for having my share of joy at last

in his(her) embrace
