La Falaise(original) |
La chaleur suffocante rendit pénible |
Le passage dans ces bois denses et sombres |
Mais quand le bleu de la mer fut visible |
Le sentier devint presque sans encombre |
Comme animée d’un second souffle |
J’accourus |
Vers cette éblouissante étendue |
A court de force et sans guide |
En bordure de la falaise |
La proximité du vide |
Paralyse les jambes tant elle pèse |
C’est pourtant des sommets |
Qu’on y voit le plus clair |
Au large, devant la nuit un voilier blanc |
S’approchait de l’eau calme près des terres |
Au large de ma vie le ciel brûlant |
Avant de s'éteindre fit la lumière |
Sur le détour permettant d'éviter |
Le récif de corail immergé |
A court de force et sans guide |
En bordure de la falaise |
La proximité du vide |
Paralyse les jambes tant elle pèse |
C’est pourtant des sommets |
Qu’on y voit le plus clair |
Comme animée d’un second souffle venu |
D’une telle éblouissante étendue |
A court de force et sans guide |
En bordure de la falaise |
La proximité du vide |
Paralyse les jambes tant elle pèse |
C’est pourtant des sommets |
Qu’on y voit le plus clair |
A court de force et sans guide |
En bordure de la falaise |
La proximité du vide |
Paralyse les jambes tant elle pèse |
C’est pourtant des sommets |
Qu’on y voit le plus clair |
(translation) |
The suffocating heat made it painful |
The passage through these dense and dark woods |
But when the blue of the sea was visible |
The path became almost uneventful |
As animated by a second wind |
I ran |
To this dazzling expanse |
Short of strength and without a guide |
On the edge of the cliff |
The proximity of the void |
Paralyzes the legs as it weighs |
It is however peaks |
Let it be seen most clearly |
Offshore, in front of the night a white sailboat |
Was approaching calm water near land |
Off my life the burning sky |
Before going out made the light |
On the detour to avoid |
The submerged coral reef |
Short of strength and without a guide |
On the edge of the cliff |
The proximity of the void |
Paralyzes the legs as it weighs |
It is however peaks |
Let it be seen most clearly |
As animated by a second wind |
Of such dazzling expanse |
Short of strength and without a guide |
On the edge of the cliff |
The proximity of the void |
Paralyzes the legs as it weighs |
It is however peaks |
Let it be seen most clearly |
Short of strength and without a guide |
On the edge of the cliff |
The proximity of the void |
Paralyzes the legs as it weighs |
It is however peaks |
Let it be seen most clearly |
