Paroles de la chanson Effet De Nuit (Traduction) par
Night. Rain. A lurid sky that letsthe spires and towers show silhouettes
of an old Gothic town by distance dimmed.
The plain. A gibbet where stiffs dwindle, trimmed
by greedy crow’s beaks, dancing in black air
jigs unparalleled in any fair, even while the wolves are pasturing on their toes.
Some scraggly thornbush; and the holly shows
its leafy horror, right and left, crosshatched as on the murky background of a sketch.
Then, with three livid barefoot prisoners,
two hundred five and twenty halberdiers;
like harrow-teeth, pikes gleam against the grain
of the diagonal laces of the rain.
