Le poète(original) |
J’ai beau tremper ma plume |
A même ma blessure |
Mais mon âme est sèche |
Comme mes quatre murs |
Ma muse a pris le large |
Depuis cent semaines |
Je me traîne |
Tout est froid |
Les larmes de la même couleur |
C’est comme si je n’avais |
Ni d'âme ni de coeur |
Si je n'écris plus |
C’est que je n’ai rien à dire |
Ma muse n’y est plus |
Et le poète a pris de l’encre |
Et du papier |
Puis il s’est enfermé |
Comme dedans sa tombe |
Et comme un cavalier |
Essouffle sa monture |
Il a écrit par tous les meubles et les murs |
Toutes les rimes riches |
Qui riment avec muse |
Et le coeur autour |
Et dessous le tapis |
Là où le bois est tendre |
Comme si le bois de rose |
Pouvait mieux apprendre |
Il a gravé avec ses ongles |
Et son couteau |
Le très beau nom de son amour |
Puis il s’est étendu |
Le coeur sur son couteau |
La gorge sur son nom |
La bouche sur sa page |
C'était l’hiver |
(translation) |
I dip my pen |
Even my wound |
But my soul is dry |
Like my four walls |
My muse has sailed away |
For a hundred weeks |
I drag myself |
everything is cold |
Tears of the same color |
It's like I don't have |
Neither soul nor heart |
If I don't write anymore |
It's that I have nothing to say |
My muse is gone |
And the poet took ink |
And paper |
Then he locked himself |
Like in his grave |
And like a rider |
Breathe out his mount |
He wrote through all the furniture and the walls |
All the rich rhymes |
that rhyme with muse |
And the heart around |
And under the rug |
Where the wood is soft |
As if rosewood |
Could learn better |
He carved with his fingernails |
And his knife |
The very beautiful name of his love |
Then he stretched out |
The heart on his knife |
The throat on his name |
The mouth on his page |
It was winter |
