Ou sont les neiges d'antan?

---

In my own country I am in a far off land.
I am strong but have no power.
I win all yet remain a loser.
At break of day I say goodnight.
When I lie down I have great fear of falling.

Et Jehanne, la bonne Lorraine,
Qu'Anglais brulerent a Rouen,
Ou sont-elles, Vierge souv'raine,
Mais ou sont les neiges d'antan?

I die of thirst beside the fountain.

Yet, if the world were bettered by
My death or story left untold,
I would condemn myself to die
For misdemeanours manifold:
I bring no harm to young or old
Alive or dead, in either case:
A man so needy never rolled
A mountain from its resting place.

François Villon
