Abel Et Cain(original) |
Race d’Abel, dors, bois et mange; |
Dieu te sourit complaisamment |
Race de Caïn, dans la fange |
Rampe et meurs misérablement |
Race d’Abel, ton sacrifice |
Flatte le nez du Séraphin! |
Race de Caïn, ton supplice |
Aura-t-il jamais une fin? |
Race d’Abel, vois tes semailles |
Et ton bétail venir à bien; |
Race de Caïn, tes entrailles |
Hurlent la faim comme un vieux chien |
Race d’Abel, chauffe ton ventre |
À ton foyer patriarcal; |
Race de Caïn, dans ton antre |
Tremble de froid, pauvre chacal! |
Race d’Abel, tu croîs et broutes |
Comme les punaises des bois! |
Race de Caïn, sur les routes |
Traîne ta famille aux abois |
Ah! |
race d’Abel, ta charogne |
Engraissera le sol fumant! |
Race de Caïn, ta besogne |
N’est pas faite suffisamment; |
Race d’Abel, voici ta honte: |
Le fer est vaincu par l'épieu! |
Race de Caïn, au ciel monte |
Et sur la terre jette Dieu! |
(translation) |
Race of Abel, sleep, drink and eat; |
God smiles upon you |
Race of Cain, in the mire |
Crawl and die miserably |
Race of Abel, your sacrifice |
Flatter the Seraph's nose! |
Race of Cain, your torment |
Will it ever end? |
Race of Abel, see your sowing |
And your cattle come to good; |
Race of Cain, your entrails |
Hunger howls like an old dog |
Race of Abel, warm your belly |
To your patriarchal home; |
Race of Cain, in your lair |
Tremble with cold, poor jackal! |
Race of Abel, you grow and graze |
Like wood bugs! |
Race of Cain, on the roads |
Drag your beleaguered family |
Ah! |
race of Abel, your carrion |
Will fatten the smoldering soil! |
Race of Cain, your work |
Is not done enough; |
Race of Abel, here is your shame: |
The iron is vanquished by the spear! |
Race of Cain, to heaven rise |
And on the earth cast God! |
