Deux guerriers ont couru l'un sur l'autre leurs armes	A
Ont clabouss l'air de lueurs et de sang	B
Ces jeux ces cliquetis du fer sont les vacarmes	A
D'une jeunesse en proie l'amour vagissant	C
	-
Les glaives sont bris s comme notre jeunesse	A
Ma ch re Mais les dents les ongles ac r s	A
Vengent bient t l' p e et la dague tra tresse	A
fureur des coeurs m rs par l'amour ulc r s	A
	-
Dans le ravin hant des chats pards et des onces	A
Nos h ros s' treignant m chamment ont roul	D
Et leur peau fleurira l'aridit des ronces	A
	-
Ce gouffre c'est l'enfer de nos amis peupl	D
Roulons y sans remords amazone inhumaine	E
Afin d' terniser l'ardeur de notre haine	E

The Duel	D
	-
Two warriors rushed upon each other their arms	A
Spattered the air with sparks and blood	C
This fencing this clashing of steel are the uproar	F
Of youth when it becomes a prey to puling love	G
	-
The blades are broken like our youth	H
My darling But the teeth the steely fingernails	A
Soon avenge the sword and the treacherous dagger	I
O Fury of mature hearts embittered by love	G
	-
In the ravine haunted by lynxes and panthers	A
Our heroes viciously clasping each other rolled	C
And their skin will put blooms on the barren brambles	A
	-
This abyss it is hell thronged with our friends	A
Let us roll there without remorse cruel amazon	E
So the ardor of our hatred will be immortalized	C

Duel	D
	-
Two fighters rushed together sabres bleak	J
With crimson blood gouts lit the air above	G
That clinking swordplay was the tender squeak	J
Of youth when it's a prey to bleating love	G
	-
The swords are splintered like our youth my darling	K
And now it's teeth and talons are the fashion	E
The clash of swords is child's play to the snarling	K
Of hearts adult in ulcerated passion	E
	-
In the ravine by lynx and leopard haunted	C
Our heroes wrestling heroes roll undaunted	C
Rags of their skin flower red upon the gorse	A
	-
This gulf is hell and peopled by our friends	A
Here hellcat Come let's roll without remorse	A
To celebrate a feud that never ends	A

The Duel	D
	-
Two warriors dueled upon the battle ground	C
Their arms scattering bright sparks and blood above	G
This sport the clash of steel gave forth the sound	C
Of youth fallen a prey to puling love	G
	-
The blades are broken darling like the moon	E
Of our sweet youth but teeth and fingernails	A
Avenge the sword and traitorous dagger soon	E
Old hearts that love's old bitterness assails	A
	-
In the ravine where lynx and panther ramble	D
Our heroes bite the dust in fierce embrace	A
Their skin shall bring new bloom to the dry bramble	D
This pit is hell our friends' choice dwelling place	A
Let us roll there O cruel Amazon	E
So our fierce hatred may live on and on	E
