Original lyrics
La Complainte de Sally [Sally's Song]
Il y a une ombre dans le vent...
Je crois qu’une tragédie m’attend...
Comment lui avouer comme je l’aime
Sans lui faire part de mes problèmes ?
Le pire est encore à venir...
Sait-il que pour lui je donnerais ma vie ?
Je rêve souvent qu’il m’aime éperdument...
Même si c’est un tourment
Que deviendra mon bon ami ?
Où nous conduira sa folie ?
Autour de moi, tout le monde l’acclame
Mais je brûle d’une tout autre flamme
Parfois, la vie me semble un drame
Saura-t-il un jour m’offrir son amour ?
Saurai-je lui plaire ? Ce n’est pas mon destin
Et je l’espère... En vain

Translation
Sally's Lament
There's a shadow in the wind,
I think a tragedy awaits me,
how can I tell him that I love him
without making him part of my problems?
The worst is yet to come,
does he know that's I'd give my life for him?
I often dream that loves me madly
even if it's a torment.
What will become of my dear friend?
where will his madness lead us?
around me, everyone cheers on
but I burn with another flame.
Sometimes, life seems like a drama to me
will he one day offer me his love?
will I be enough for him1? it's not my destiny
and I hope...in vain.
- 1. will I be able to please him
