Bernos de Gasztold, Carmen: The prayer of the cock (Prière du coq in English)

Portre of Bernos de Gasztold, Carmen

Back to the translator

Prière du coq (French)

N'oubliez pas, Seigneur,
que je fais lever le soleil!
Je suis Votre serviteur
Mais la dignite de mon role
me force a quelques fanfreluches et mondanites.
Noblesse oblige...
Maigre tout,
je suis Votre serviteur...
N'oubliez pas, Seigneur,
que je fais lever le soleil!
Ainsi soit-il!

The prayer of the cock (English)

Do not forget, Lord,
it is I who make the sun rise.
I am Your servant
but, with the dignity of my calling,
I need some glitter and ostentation.
Noblesse oblige...
All the same,
I am Your servant, only...
do not forget, Lord,
I make the sun rise.
Amen.
