Listen to the organs
They play for you
This tune is terrible
I hope you like it
It's quite beautiful, isn't it?
It's the requiem for a fool

I composed it especially for you
In your memory, you scoundrel
It's a nice theme
Don't you think?
Just like you
Poor fool

Here are the organs
They start again
You must learn this tune by heart
So that you don't even
Have a hesitation
On the requiem for a fool

What, you're looking at me
You don't appreciate it
But what's in there
That you don't like?
For me it's the same
Whether you like it or not
I'll play it for you anyway
Poor fool

Listen to the organs
They play for you
This tune is terrible
I hope you like it
It's quite beautiful, isn't it?
It's the requiem for a fool

I composed it especially for you
In your memory, you scoundrel
On your pale face
On the walls of prisons
I will write myself: "Poor fool"
