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