Craig Herbertson Lyrics
Jeune reine, pâle reine,
Reine plus pale qu?un cygne
Ton jardin fleuri est-il?
En ta fin
Gît ton commencement
Ta nef tousjours t?attend
Flight the falcon fly the dart
Speed the mare to chase the hart
Deck the grass wi lordly mien
Jewel the sky the star pavane
Sans Curse Queen Bess and worse John Knox
They shall rot, they shall rot
Any pray for Mary Queen of Scots
2. Black night, pale Quean,
Paler than a swan
Ton jardin fleuri est-il?
Black heart cold jewels
Cruel and evil men
Ton jardin fleuri est-il?
3. Black night, pale Queen,
En ta fin
Gît ton commencement
Black veil, blood red
Redder than the rose
Mary Queen of Scots
Reine plus pale qu?un cygne
Ton jardin fleuri est-il?
En ta fin
Gît ton commencement
Ta nef tousjours t?attend
Flight the falcon fly the dart
Speed the mare to chase the hart
Jewel the sky the star pavane
Sans Curse Queen Bess and worse John Knox
They shall rot, they shall rot
Any pray for Mary Queen of Scots
2. Black night, pale Quean,
Paler than a swan
Ton jardin fleuri est-il?
Black heart cold jewels
Cruel and evil men
Ton jardin fleuri est-il?
3. Black night, pale Queen,
En ta fin
Gît ton commencement
Black veil, blood red
Redder than the rose
Mary Queen of Scots
