A man came across this old tower one day
It was straight like from a book he once read
He lifted his head up and saw this young lady
And here's what the lady said:
"Moi je m'appelle mademoiselle noir
Et comme vous pouvez le voir
Je ne souris, ni ris, ni vis."
Et c'est tout ce qu'elle a dit. 1
The man was so scared he could only run away
He ran to the town and then said:
"I just saw a lady with the longest dark hair
And I think she's a living dead!"
The people, so scared, took their guns and their swords
They ran to the tower and then
They saw the pale lady and felt a great fear
When they heard how she said it again:
"Moi je m'appelle mademoiselle noir
Et comme vous pouvez le voir
Je ne souris, ni ris, ni vis."
Et c'est tout ce qu'elle a dit.
The people, they knew what this all was about
She was clearly a demon from hell
They decided to set her long hair on fire
In the end it would burn her as well
But the lady was no demon she was a lonely soul
Just like in that book they once read
Still waiting for her prince while her hair was on fire
The one last time she said:
"Moi je m'appelle mademoiselle noir
Et comme vous pouvez le voir
Je ne souris, ni ris, ni vis."
Et c'est tout ce qu'elle a dit.
1. "My name is Miss Black and, as you can see, I don't smile, nor laugh, nor live". And this is all she said.
