Je me reveille tot I wake up early Claro de luna by Efrain Rodriguez Rios)
Le garcon The men How far away the night! Claro de Luna light
Le jeune filles The young girls Now gone from Earth gone south
Je les vois I see them all From fire into your mouth
Je m’amuse I must amuse myself! Your face Your flood
Que voulez vous faire ce matin What can/will you do this morning? Your kiss My blood
Que voulez vous faire What can/will you do? Queen of my heart
Je voudrais partir I would like to go away Why must we part?
Non No!
Ennui Ennui Ennui Boredom! Tedium! Weariness! For Hell defines your eyes in mine
Que voulez vous faire What can/will you do? Then lovers dirge
Lundi Monday? 'Til stones emerge
Que voulez vous faire ce matin What can/will you do this morning?
Mardi/Mecredi Tue?/Wed? And in the silence of her tale
Jeudi/Vendredi Thu?/Fri? A thunder through the dusty trail
Samedi!, Samedi! .... /Dimanche Sat?/Sat?/Sun? The dead lay down but not for long
Que voulez vous faire What can/will you do? A single star
Ennui Ennui Ennui Boredom! Tedium! Weariness! A longing song
Que voulez vous faire What can/will you do? How far away the night!
