Thou diest, thou diest, venerable sire,

And art unaware of our sad plight!

For kings and for subjects alike,

Atropos, the Parca, makes the tomb yawn.

Fellow-countryman and hero, in the springtime of thy life,

Undaunted didst thou steer thy ship through the storm,

Conveying to the new world the glorious plant

That gives our blood fresh life

And enriches our fatherland.

The colonists bewail thee like children weeping a father lost!

Whites and Blacks of Martinique, a mourning chorus,

Lament thy departure, most affectionate of parents.
