Debussy: Chansons de Bilitis, L. 90 - 2. La Chevelure(original) |
Il m’a dit: «Cette nuit, j’ai rêvé |
J’avais ta chevelure autour de mon cou |
J’avais tes cheveux comme un collier noir |
Autour de ma nuque et sur ma poitrine |
«Je les caressais, et c'étaient les miens; |
Et nous étions liés pour toujours ainsi |
Par la même chevelure, la bouche sur la bouche |
Ainsi que deux lauriers n’ont souvent qu’une racine |
«Et peu à peu, il m’a semblé |
Tant nos membres étaient confondus |
Que je devenais toi-même |
Ou que tu entrais en moi comme mon songe.» |
Quand il eut achevé |
Il mit doucement ses mains sur mes épaules |
Et il me regarda d’un regard si tendre |
Que je baissai les yeux avec un frisson |
(translation) |
He said to me: “Last night I dreamed |
I had your hair around my neck |
I had your hair like a black necklace |
Around my neck and on my chest |
“I stroked them, and they were mine; |
And we were forever bound like this |
By the same hair, mouth to mouth |
As two laurels often have only one root |
"And gradually it seemed to me |
So confounded were our members |
That I was becoming you |
Or that you entered me as my dream." |
When he had finished |
He gently put his hands on my shoulders |
And he looked at me with such a tender gaze |
That I looked down with a shiver |
