Radiant Night |
| I’m in love with Witold Gombrowicz |
| That sombre Polish man |
| I journey to the end of night with Louis F. Celine |
| But when I’m tired of reading novels by melancholy authors |
| I bounce on an enormous trampoline |
| 'Pornographia', 'Ferdydurke', the Polish avant garde |
| I find Schšnberg's 'Verklarte Nacht' the loveliest thing I’ve heard |
| But when I’ve lost my taste for the highest and the best |
| I bounce, I bounce, I bounce with zest |
| I’m very fond of Karlheinz Stockhausen |
| 'Musique Concrete' excites me |
| Luciano Berio inflames my very being |
| But when I’ve left behind my passion for serial composition |
| I bite at an enormous tangerine |
| Giacomo Leopardi, |
| Stephane MallarmŽ |
| Diaghilev and Rilke |
| Lou Andreas Salome |
| But when I’ve lost my taste for the highest and the best |
| I bite, I bite, I bite with zest |
| I’m in love with Frederic Chopin and Isabelle Adjani |
| I play Charlotte Gainsbourg, Bambou and Jane Birkin at my party |
| But when the radiant night is over and the sun begins to shine |
| I kiss the simple lover who is mine |
| 'Pornographia', 'Ferdydurke', the Polish avant garde |
| I find Schšnberg's 'Verklarte Nacht' the loveliest thing I’ve heard |
| But when I’ve lost my taste for the highest and the best |
| I kiss, I kiss, I kiss with zest |
| Giacomo Leopardi, Stephane MallarmŽ |
| Diaghilev and Rilke, Lou Andreas Salome |
| But when I’ve lost my taste for the highest and the best |
| I laugh, I live, I love with the best |
