Default Voice clip in French

So I want to use this clip/sample in a song, but I can't make out the words. It's only a couple of seconds long. A bit of help would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

It does sound French, but with a heavy American accent.
And to be honest it's pretty incomprehensible.
What I understood.
"Ca y est mon cher, l'atonement est fini."
"l'atonement" meaning nothing.

If others try it, they'll surely understand something else.


Cela semble effectivement être du français mais avec un gros accent américain.
Et pour être honnête c'est assez incomprehensible.
Ce que moi j'en ai compris.
"Ca y est mon cher, l'atonement est fini"
L'atonement ne voulant rien dire.

Si d'autre tentent le coup ils comprendront surement autre chose

Maybe it could be :

"Ca y est mon cher, l'étonnement est fini."

étonnement = astonishment

Makes sense in this short sentence, but doesn't without context.

j'entends "l'enterrement est fini" > funeral/burial is over...

J'ai peut-être trop écouté les Doors ! ^^

Ha-ha-ha! Yes, could be... I also hear "merci, mon cher", but after that it gets tricky.

Thank you all for listening. I believe I will end up using the sample, it kinda fits with the song I'm working on.

You can also ask if someone of the french forum can record you the sentence you want in french. An Irish guy (living in Australia) did that for me years ago. It's the speech at the beginning of that song : https://benest.bandcamp.com/track/sing-forever

"Thank you (or something sounding like "merci". Could also be "mais si"/"sure") my dear, the burial is over".
