La Lettre de Guy Monquet
(translation)
by: spinfire, youtube
My dear, sweet mother,
my little baby brother that I adore,
my dearfather that I love,
I am going to die!
What I ask of you, especially my dear mother, is to be courageous.
I am, and I want to be as courageous as those who went before me.
Sure, I would have liked to have lived.
But what I wish for, with all my heart, is that my death means something.
I didn't have time to hug Jean.
I hugged my two brothers Roger and Rino.
As for you, I'm afraid that I can't!
I hope that all my things will be sent to you
Serge can use them; I trust he will be proud to wear them one day.
To you, dear father, if I ever gave you or dear mother any trouble,
I praise you one last time. Know that I did the best to follow the path you set me.
One last goodbye to all of my friends,
to my brother whom I love dearly.
He should study hard so that one day he will become a man.
Seventeen and a half years old
my life was short,
I have no regrets,other than leaving you all.
I will die with Tintin, Michels.
Mother, what I ask of you, what I want you to promise me,
is to be courageous and to rise above your pain.
I can't add any more.
I'm leaving you all, all of you, mother,
Serge, dad, my child heart holds you in its arms.
Courage!
Your guy who loves you.
