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 |
