Debussy: Chansons de Bilitis, L. 90 - 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
