Bébé (original)Bébé (translation)
Bébé m’a dit teubé !Baby declared me a simpleton—crown askew, a jester in court.
Tu, tu n’aurais pas dûYou—you should never have dared
Tiser tout le cubiTo drain the whole cask’s slow crimson deluge,
Tiser tout le cubiTo drain the whole cask’s slow crimson deluge.
Dedans c'était du vinWithin—a vineyard’s velvet kept in shadow,
À douze pour cent d’alcoolTwelve measures haunted by the ghost of spirits.
Il y avait cinq litresFive liters, I swear, swelled the vessel’s chest,
Il y avait cinq litresFive liters, I swear, swelled the vessel’s chest.
Déjà, déjà très viteAlready—already, time buckled and fled,
Bébé me met en gardeBaby, my herald of omen, waves her lantern,
Neuneu me fais pas honteHalf-wit, she hisses—don’t brand me with shame,
Ne, ne me fais pas honteNo, do not sow my garden with disgrace,
Et malgré les menacesAnd though her words are daggers shimmering,
T’façon j’connais personneYet—I am an island, no souls in my ledger,
Sauf l’autre connard d’en faceSave the lout across the gulf, a scarecrow on his throne.
Bébé m’a dit maudit !Baby pronounced me accursed—damned with a kissless cross,
Tu, tu n’aurais pas dûYou—you should never have dared
Ramener ta gueule iciTo haul your battered mask here again,
Ramène ta gueule iciHaul your battered mask here again.
Dedans y a du beau mondeIn this den, the constellations gather—
Et toi t’as les yeux troublesYet you—your gaze is the silt of a river after rain,
Comme si t’avais deux viesAs if you lived twice, with a penumbra soul,
Comme si t’avais deux viesAs if you lived twice, with a penumbra soul.
Déjà, déjà très viteAlready—already, the hourglass shudders,
Ça tourne dans ma têteMy thoughts become a carousel of blackbirds,
Bébé me met à blocBaby winds me taut as a clockspring,
Bébé me met à blocBaby winds me taut as a clockspring.
Et malgré les menacesAnd though her threats rattle like coins in a purse,
T’façon j’connais personneYet—I am a stranger, my name a cipher here,
Et j’suis rond comme une pommeAnd I’m as round and flushed as a cider apple,
Et j’suis rond comme une pommeAnd I’m as round and flushed as a cider apple.
Bébé m’a dit pas beau !Baby declared me unlovely—a painting marred by rain,
Tu, tu n’aurais pas dûYou—you never should have tempted fate,
Les gens se plaignent la coupe est pleineThe crowd complain—their chalice brims with storm,
Les gens se plaignent la coupe est pleineThe crowd complain—their chalice brims with storm.
J’ai dit remplis la mienne !“Then fill mine!” I dared shout to the tempest,
Mais Bébé n’a pas riBut Baby’s lips did not dare the shape of laughter,
Elle m’dit que je lui fais d’la peineShe tells me I have written sorrow in her bones,
Elle m’dit que je lui fais d’la peineShe tells me I have written sorrow in her bones.
T’inquiète, tout doux BabyHush now, easy—let the wind forget us, Baby,
Y a pas mort d’homme «qu'j'lui dis»No soul has fallen—so I vow to her shadow.
Sa réponse brève est sans appelHer answer is a blade: cold, irrevocable,
Sa réponse brève est sans appelHer answer is a blade: cold, irrevocable.
Ce n’est plus une menaceIt is no longer a storm cloud’s bluff,
Ici t’amuses personneHere, joy is a locked coffer—no hands but mine empty.
Sauf l’autre beau gosse d’en faceSave the other Adonis across the divide,
Sauf l’autre beau gosse d’en faceSave the other Adonis across the divide.
