The Palace of Versailles ( /vɛərˈsaɪ/ vair-SY or /vərˈsaɪ/; French: [vɛʁˈsaj]), or simply Versailles, is a royal château in Versailles in the Île-de-France region of France. In French it is the Château de Versailles.
When the château was built, Versailles was a country village; today, however, it is a suburb of Paris, some 20 kilometres southwest of the French capital. The court of Versailles was the centre of political power in France from 1682, when Louis XIV moved from Paris, until the royal family was forced to return to the capital in October 1789 after the beginning of the French Revolution. Versailles is therefore famous not only as a building, but as a symbol of the system of absolute monarchy of the Ancien Régime.
The earliest mention of the name of Versailles is in a document dated 1038, relating to the village of Versailles. In 1575, the seigneury of Versailles was bought by Albert de Gondi, a naturalized Florentine, who invited Louis XIII on several hunting trips in the forests surrounding Versailles. Pleased with the location, Louis ordered the construction of a hunting lodge in 1624. Eight years later, Louis obtained the seigneury of Versailles from the Gondi family and began to make enlargements to the château. This structure would become the core of the new palace. Louis XIII's successor, Louis XIV, had it expanded into one of the largest palaces in the world. Following the Treaties of Nijmegen in 1678, he began to gradually move the court to Versailles. The court was officially established there on 6 May 1682.
J'ai pas de mots pour toi, j'ai rien qui s'approche
Du bonheur de serrer tes doigts dans ma poche
De pencher mes yeux vers les tiens
Même si le monde est plein d'orphelins
D'être avec toi aujourd'hui, même si les nazis meurent dans leur lit
Qu'on a plus une tune en poche et que l'hiver approche
Quand les foyers sont tous complets.
Mais je suis peut-être tombé de la lune
Et je te le dis, si ce monde tourne rond
Et si je trouve à l'injustice une bonne raison
Alors dis-moi, à quoi suis-je encore bon?
J'ai pas de mots pour toi comme ils ferment leur coeur
Leur porte et leur valoche, allez petit voleur
On se paye un cinoche et ferme ton col, il y a du vent.
On cracherait dans la soupe qu'elle en serait pas plus moche
C'est pas Versailles, année zéro, on vit pas dans les bois au chaud.
Et j'ai la gueule de mon époque, et toi tu ressembles à ta mère.
Mais je suis peut-être tombé de la lune
Et je te le dis, si ce monde tourne rond
Et si je trouve à l'injustice une bonne raison
Alors dis-moi, à quoi suis-je encore bon?
Alors dis-moi, à quoi suis-je encore bon?
Mieux vaut fermer sa gueule, ils nous laisserons père et fils sur le sol.
Perfusés de bouillie cathodique et le cœur sur la main en bon catholique
On disait qu'on était sur un radeau, perdus dans la nuit noire des flots.
Mais je suis peut-être tombé de la lune
Et je te le dis, si ce monde tourne rond
Et si je trouve à l'injustice une bonne raison
Alors dis-moi, à quoi suis-je encore bon?

The bones make the minced meat dance!
Raise! A burning bone! A feast begins
Laugh! Shadow of death! The shadows laugh
Inside of darkness and curses a torchlight is carried
The game of "The Vanished Boys" goes to the ceremony
Below the lord the bones clap
Carried by the song of the bats
