Lyric discussion by Cocomarie 

Cover art for Dernier Lit lyrics by Émilie Simon

This song had been in my iTunes for yeaars and I had never really payed attention to the lyrics. Well it basically tells the story of an old lady in her last night alive. She is lying in her bed dreaming, when Death comes in and starts whispering things to her from behind the curtain. Meanwhile, the lover of the lady is drinking a glass of absinth apparently to help the pain he feels of losing her loved one. Finally Death gets closer to the lady and whispers in her ear ""You are beautiful" In the name of the father and the holy spirit and Death returns and gets lost into the night. The lyrics are beautiful, you should also check the literal translation.
