Le mal (original)Le mal (translation)
Le mal The evil
Arthur Rimbaud Arthur Rimbaud
Tandis que les crachats rouges de la mitraille While the red spit of grapeshot
Sifflent tout le jour par l’infini du ciel bleu; Whistle all day through the infinity of the blue sky;
Qu'écarlates ou verts, près du Roi qui les raille, Whether scarlet or green, near the King who taunts them,
Croulent les bataillons en masse dans le feu; The battalions crumble en masse in the fire;
Tandis qu’une folie épouvantable broie While a dreadful madness crushes
Et fait de cent milliers d’hommes un tas fumant; And made a hundred thousand men a smoking heap;
— Pauvres morts!"Poor dead!
dans l'été, dans l’herbe, dans ta joie, in the summer, in the grass, in your joy,
Nature!Nature!
ô toi qui fis ces hommes saintement… O you who made these men holy...
— Il est un Dieu, qui rit aux nappes damassées — There is a God, who laughs at damask tablecloths
Des autels, à l’encens, aux grands calices d’or; Altars, with incense, with great chalices of gold;
Qui dans le bercement des hosannah s’endort, Who in the rocking of the hosannah falls asleep,
Et se réveille, quand des mères, ramassées And wake up, when mothers, picked up
Dans l’angoisse, et pleurant sous leur vieux bonnet noir, In anguish, and weeping under their old black caps,
Lui donnent un gros sou lié dans leur mouchoir! Give him a big penny tied in their handkerchief!
