L'Horizon(original) |
«Nous n’irons pas plus loin», te dit le capitaine |
Trop d’obstacles aujourd’hui pour gagner l’horizon |
Des baleines puises gmissent sur la grve |
Leur sang couvre des bouches comme autant d’hameons |
Comme autant de collines occultant l’horizon |
De crtes insensibles l’adagio des plaines |
«Je suis vraiment navr «, te dit le capitaine |
Et tu sens qu’il dit vrai et qu’il a le cњur bon. |
Ds lors la bouche vermeille d’une femme au harpon |
Qui entre dans tes murs et saigne les baleines |
Te fait des mois durant ddaigner l’horizon |
Et lorsque tu le croises snober le capitaine. |
Quand tu rentres chez toi, tu te dis qu’il fait bon |
Le mensonge est partout infiltr? |
dans tes veines |
Tant tu aimes goter au sang de la baleine |
Qui d? |
borde des lvres de la femme au harpon. |
Mais un jour sur ta manche tire le capitaine |
Les yeux exorbits, il te dit: «Repartons «. |
Il est temps de sortir du sommeil des reines |
Car nul ne vous attend autant que l’horizon. |
C’est Lob Nor qui t’espre, l’Inlandsis qui t’appelle |
La Sierra Nevada qui la nuit crie ton nom |
Et c’est la Grande Bleue qui rehausse le ciel |
Chacun d’eux te rclame et t’offre l’horizon |
Mais celui-ci t’chappe, stopp dans son lan |
Par des sommets hargneux, des valles encaisses, |
Des villes au cњur de pierre aux formes insenses |
Vois, la barbe te pousse et ton pas se fait lent. |
Et tu entends au loin les plaintes des baleines |
Qui avant de finir sur la grve ont sans doute |
Connu cet horizon don’t seul le capitaine |
Espre encore pour deux que tu croises la route. |
Mais un jour au silence qui monte aux alentours |
Comme tes yeux se dcollent, tu sais qu’on t’a laiss? |
Seul avec ton vieux rve don’t l’ombre est un vautour |
Qui dessous tes haillons sent la chair s’asscher |
Et comme en de lents cercles, il va pour t’entreprendre |
Le dcor s’aplanit, les courbes se dfont |
Tout se dgage, oui, sans doute las de t’attendre |
C’est lui qui vient toi, il est l l’horizon |
(translation) |
"We won't go any further," the captain tells you |
Too many obstacles today to reach the horizon |
Exhausted whales moan on the beach |
Their blood covers mouths like so many hooks |
Like so many hills obscuring the horizon |
From insensitive crests the adagio of the plains |
"I'm really sorry", the captain tells you |
And you feel that he is telling the truth and that he has a good heart. |
From then on the vermilion mouth of a woman with a harpoon |
Who enters your walls and bleeds the whales |
Makes you scorn the horizon for months |
And when you meet him snub the captain. |
When you come home, you tell yourself it's good |
The lie is infiltrated everywhere? |
in your veins |
So much you like to taste the blood of the whale |
Who of |
lines the lips of the woman with the harpoon. |
But a day on your sleeve pulls the captain |
Eyes bulging, he says to you, "Let's go back". |
It's time to wake up from the sleep of queens |
Because no one awaits you more than the horizon. |
It's Lob Nor waiting for you, the Inlandsis calling you |
The Sierra Nevada that at night screams your name |
And it's the Big Blue that lifts the sky |
Each one of them claims you and offers you the horizon |
But this one escapes you, stops in its tracks |
Through surly peaks, deep valleys, |
Stone-hearted cities of insane shapes |
See, the beard pushes you and your step becomes slow. |
And you hear the cries of the whales in the distance |
Who before ending up on the strike have no doubt |
Known this horizon of which only the captain |
Hope again for two that you cross the road. |
But one day in the silence that rises around |
As your eyes peel off, do you know we left you? |
Alone with your old dream whose shadow is a vulture |
Who under your rags feels the flesh drying up |
And as in slow circles he goes to undertake you |
Scenery flattens, curves unravel |
Everything emerges, yes, probably tired of waiting for you |
It is he who comes to you, he is the horizon |
