Here's the text of Le Jour du Dernier Jour (The Morning of the Last Day), its French Canadian words by Jean-Loup Chauby. It was performed by Donald Lautrec, César et Les Romains.
Compare these words with other re-writings of AWSoP: arguably this one has at least a Procolesque flavour, in its somewhat morbid preoccupation: 'be with me when I need a drink, be with me when I die' comes to mind.
Why not try singing this: put on the Procol Harum AWSoP backing-track from Disc 3 of the Westside Box set, and astonish your neighbours ...

Il viendra le dernier jour |

Et toi tu seras là |
And you, you will be there |
|
Tu seras près de moi |

And I will carry away your heart |
