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 vie” Et c’est tout ce qu’elle a dit
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 the 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 vie” 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 vie.” Et c’est tout ce qu’elle a dit
