Schubert’s Lullaby (from ’Transatlantic Exchange’, 1957) (original)Schubert’s Lullaby (from ’Transatlantic Exchange’, 1957) (translation)
Un jongleur qui jonglait A juggler who juggled
Avec fleurs et maillets, With flowers and mallets,
Un jongleur qui jonglait avec des coeurs A juggler who juggled with hearts
Ne savait qu’il y avait Didn't know there was
Une belle fille qui l’aimait, A beautiful girl who loved him,
Ne vivant jour et nuit Not living day and night
Que pour lui. Only for him.
Tous les soirs, au premier rang, Every night, in the front row,
Dans le petit caféchantant, In the little caféchantant,
Elle venait le coeur battant, attendant She came with beating heart, waiting
Que paraisse dans son décor, What appears in its decoration,
Dans son costume bordéd'or, In his gold-edged costume,
Celui dont elle aimait l'âme et le corps. The one whose soul and body she loved.
Le jongleur s’aperçut The juggler noticed
De la chose et reçut Of the thing and received
La belle fille en folie The beautiful girl in madness
Dans son lit. In his bed.
Aujourd’hui, au fond d’une prison, Today, in the depths of a prison,
La belle fille, Jeannette ou Suzon, The beautiful girl, Jeannette or Suzon,
Se souvient de son tendre ami Remembers his dear friend
Et du crime qu’elle a commis. And of the crime she committed.
Chaque soir, Nightly,
Sur le mur noir On the black wall
Elle croit voir She thinks she sees
Le coeur percéd'un poignard. The heart pierces a dagger.
Le jongleur qui sourit The Smiling Juggler
Et qui jongle toute la nuit, And who juggles all night,
Le jongleur qui jonglait avec son coeur, The juggler who juggled with his heart,
Il avait pourtant dit Yet he had said
Qu’il aimait pour la vie whom he loved for life
Mais ces mots qu’il disait, But those words he said,
Il jonglait. He was juggling.
Il disait: «Nous serons heureux. He said, "We will be happy.
Nous vivrons seuls tous les deux. We will both live alone.
Il n’y aura pas de plus gentils amoureux.» There won't be a sweeter lover."
Mais hélas, toutes ces histoires But alas, all these stories
Faisaient partie de son répertoire Were part of his repertoire
Et Suzon avait eu bien tort d’y croire. And Suzon had been very wrong to believe it.
Une belle fille qui pleurait, A beautiful crying girl,
Qui perdait la raison, Who was losing his mind,
Un jongleur gui jonglait en prison. A juggler who juggled in prison.
C’est ainsi que finit This is how it ends
La chanson The song
Du jongleur qui jonglait Of the juggler who juggled
Avec ses coeurs.With his hearts.
