My La dy d’Ar ban ville,
why do you sleep so still?
I’ll wake you to mor row
and you will be my (Bm)fill.
Yes, you will be my (Em)fill.
My La dy d’Ar ban ville,
why does it grieve me so?
But your heart seems so si lent.
Why do you breathe so (Bm)low?
Why do you breathe so (Em)low?
My La dy d’Ar ban ville,
why do you sleep so still?
I’ll wake you to mor row
and you will be my (Bm)fill.
Yes, you will be my (Em)fill.
My La dy d’Ar ban ville,
you look so cold to night.
Your lips feel like win ter.
Your skin has turned to (Bm)white, your skin has turned to (Em)white.
My La dy d’Ar ban ville,
why do you sleep so still?
But I’ll wake you to mor row
and you will be my (Bm)fill.
Yes, you will be my (Em)fill.
La, la, la, la, la, la.
La, la, la, la, la, la.

Though in your grave you lie,
I’ll al ways be with you.
This rose will nev er (Bm)die.
This rose will nev er (Em)die.
