The Prayer of François Villon (Prayer)

As long as the earth keeps spinning,
As long as there's light in the sky,
Lord, give each one of us,
What they don’t have:

To the wise, give a head,
To the coward, give a horse,
To the happy, give some cash...
And don’t forget about me.

As long as the earth keeps spinning,
Lord, your power reigns!
Let us fight for power
To dominate in our own right,
Give a breather to the weary,
At least until the end of the day,
Give Cain some repentance...
And don’t forget about me.

I know: you can do it all,
I believe in your wisdom,
Like a soldier who’s been killed,
Believing he lives in paradise,

Like every ear believes
In your gentle whispers,
Like we believe ourselves,
Not knowing what we’re doing!

My Lord, my God,
My green-eyed one!
As long as the earth keeps spinning,
And it’s strange for her,

As long as she still has
Time and fire,
Give everyone a little...
And don’t forget about me.
