DARKNESS TO DAWN
C’est le point de jour.
It’s daybreak
I’m still counting sheeps;
Sleep evades me
Chaos swirl in my head.
Donnez-moi peace of mind,
Conduisez-moi dreamland.
Sleep-stealer,
Laissez-moi tranquille!
Leave me alone, please.
Let me be off somewhere
Where no ghosts exist;
Let me be free from nightmares
That haunt me even when awake.
C’est le point de jour.
It’s daybreak
Phoebus, the sun’s awake;
Au jour d’hui qu’il y aura du soleil.
Today will be sunny,
Quel beautemps!
Merci pour la soiree.
Thank you for the evening
However sleepless;
I wish the next one won’t be
As gloomy as this.
