Oh how the sun laments

The passing of the moon

Oh how each drop

Condense the white moonlight

Oh how He shines

Oh how He burns bright

Oh how He conquers, how He goes aflame

How he consumes the world in His white glory!

He sitteth himself

On the Throne up high

Demands he the alter of compliance

Half gods are worshipped

In wine and flowers

Real gods are paid homage

Through blood

Vivus reached the lunar

And were found welcome

Never will any life

Seek to find

Le sol

Oh how the sun laments

The passing of the moon!

How she must flee

The rise of the sol

Everyone flees

From the flame

Oh begone the rue

Oh forgetted the woe

Oh befought the foe!

What life has to offer

Let me burn them all!

But do remember

This body cannot

Feel the cold

Let me have

The one thing

The providence allowed

To see the land rejoice

Under my burning self

To see the light reflect

Under thee white veils

What there has to pass between us

I now burn the wound close

Where crimson was spilt

Now drops that condensed

That condensed moonlight

The line now made

Le sol, le terre, la lune

Let the world pass between

To endow the blessing of forgetfulness

What shall I see

When everything crumbles

What will there be left

But black empty space

To company the sun?

Oh how he dwells

Amidst a grander cosmos

Yet knowing he is but

A tiny star among billions

Too far away

To share each’s warmth

Oh how he laments

Oh how he grieves

The passing of the moon

The passing

Of the moon
