Le Tombeau Des Naïades (original)Le Tombeau Des Naïades (translation)
Le long du bois couvert de givre, je marchais; Along the frost-covered wood I walked;
Mes cheveux devant ma bouche My hair in front of my mouth
Se fleurissaient de petits glaçons Bloomed with little icicles
Et mes sandales étaient lourdes And my sandals were heavy
De neige fangeuse et tassée Muddy, packed snow
Il me dit: «Que cherches-tu?» He said to me, "What are you looking for?"
Je suis la trace du satyre I am the trace of the satyr
Ses petits pas fourchus alternent His little forked steps alternate
Comme des trous dans un manteau blanc Like holes in a white coat
Il me dit: «Les satyres sont morts He said to me, "The satyrs are dead
«Les satyres et les nymphes aussi "Satyrs and nymphs too
Depuis trente ans, il n’a pas fait un hiver aussi terrible For thirty years there has not been such a terrible winter
La trace que tu vois est celle d’un bouc The track you see is that of a goat
Mais restons ici, où est leur tombeau.» But let's stay here, where their tomb is."
Et avec le fer de sa houe il cassa la glace And with the iron of his hoe he broke the ice
De la source ou jadis riaient les naïades From the spring where the naiads once laughed
Il prenait de grands morceaux froids He was taking big cold chunks
Et les soulevant vers le ciel pâle And lifting them up to the pale sky
Il regardait au traversHe was looking through
