J'allume le feu, j'allume le feu sur toute cette rive obscure. Marchons en silence. Regarde cette pierre couverte d'eau, Suis moi sans bruit, lumière en main. lumière en main. Regarde, regarde cette pierre blanche, Cette pierre blanche couverte d'eau. Marchons sans crainte. Joignons nos mains, serrons nos mains. Prends garde, quelqu'un est là! Silence... silence... Qui sait s'il peut entendre nos pas. Surveille la flamme, veille bien Que l'eau sacrée ne se renverse. Prends garde, il peut entendre nos pas. Prends garde, il peut entendre, il peut entendre nos pas. Silence... silence... La nuit, le jour sont nos esclaves. Portons, portons le feu! Marchons sans crainte. Joignons nos mains. Regarde, regarde cette pierre blanche couverte d'eau. Éclaire, allons lumière en main, Éclaire, éclaire, suis moi, suis moi. Suivons la pente. Allons sans crainte. Silence... silence...

Jo encenc el foc, encenc el foc damunt aquest fosc ribatge. Caminem en silenci. Mira aquesta pedra coberta d’aigua, segueix-me sense fer soroll, el llum a la mà, el llum a la mà. Mira, mira aquesta pedra blanca, aquesta pedra blanca coberta d’aigua. Caminem sense por. Agafem-nos les mans, estrenyem les mans. Alerta, allà hi ha algú! Silenci... silenci... qui sap si ell pot sentir els nostres passos. Vigila la flama, ves en compte que no es vessi l’aigua sagrada. Alerta, ell pot sentir els nostres passos. Alerta, ell pot sentir, ell pot sentir els nostres passos. Silenci... silenci... la nit, el dia són els nostres esclaus. Portem, portem el foc! Caminem sense por. Agafem-nos les mans. Mira, mira aquesta pedra blanca coberta d’aigua. Fes llum, anem amb el llum a la mà, fes llum, fes llum, segueix-me, segueix-me. Seguim el pendís. Anem sense por. Silenci... silenci...
