Je Suis Seul!... Ah! Fuyez, Douce Image

I am alone!
Alone at last!
It is the supreme moment!
There is nothing left that I love
Except the sacred rest that faith brings me!
Yes, I wanted to place
God himself
Between the world and me!

Ah! Flee, sweet image, too dear to my soul
Respect a cruelly earned rest
And consider, if I have drunk from a bitter cup
That my heart would fill it with what it has bled!
Ah! Flee! Flee! Away from me!
Ah! Flee!
What does life matter to me and this semblance of glory?
I only want to chase from the depths of my memory
A cursed name! That name... that haunts me and why?

My God!
With your flame
Purify my soul
And dissipate in its light
The shadow that still passes in the depths of my heart!
Ah! Flee, sweet image, too dear to my soul!
Ah! Flee! Flee! Away from me!
Ah! Flee! Away from me! Away from me!
