Sarah Brightman -- Chanson d'enfance
Pas de tendresse
Et pas de joie,
Loin d'ici,
Loin de toi.
Rien de plus triste
Que mes soupirs,
Lorsque vient le jour
Où il me faut partir.
Chanson d'enfance,
Tu vis toujours dans ma coeur.
Toi, la plus douce!
Toi, la plus tendre!
C'est la chanson
Qui dit toujours:
Dans ton esprit
Je vis toujours.
C'est la chanson
Qui dit toujours:
Dans ton esprit
Je vis toujours.
And the last three stanzas are repeated once

Rose in this production. [from the CD-booklet]

Source of the lyrics: found the first three stanzas on Josh Woodward's page,
with a correction and additions by me and Choy-Hsien Lin
(choylin@hem.passagen.se); thanks to Melissa Hofmann (hofmannm@tcnj.edu) for the
remainder of the song.
Mike King (mking@remcen.ehhs.cmich.edu) sent me a rough translation in English
of the first three stanzas, and Melissa Hofmann of the fourth (and fifth), with
some corrections by Celui (celui@geocities.com):
Song of innocence
Empty of tenderness
And empty of joy,
Faraway from here,
Faraway from you.
Nothing of more sadness
Than my sighs,
When the day comes
That I must leave.
Song of innocence,
You live always in my heart.
You, the most sweet!
You, the most tender!
It's the song
That always says:
In your spirit
I will live forever.
