Les Litanies De Satan (Fleurs Du Mal)(original) |
Ô toi, le plus savant et le plus beau des Anges |
Dieu trahi par le sort et privé de louanges |
Ô Prince de l’exil, à qui l’on a fait tort |
Et qui, vaincu, toujours te redresses plus fort |
Toi qui sais tout, grand roi des choses souterraines |
Guérisseur familier des angoisses humaines |
Toi qui, même aux lépreux, aux parias maudits |
Enseignes par l’amour le goût du Paradis |
Ô toi qui de la Mort, ta vieille et forte amante |
Engendras l’Espérance, — une folle charmante! |
Toi qui fais au proscrit ce regard calme et haut |
Qui damne tout un peuple autour d’un échafaud |
Toi qui sais en quels coins des terres envieuses |
Le Dieu jaloux cacha les pierres précieuses |
Ô Satan |
Ô Satan, prends pitié de ma longue misère! |
Ô Satan |
Toi dont l’oeil clair connaît les profonds arsenaux |
Où dort enseveli le peuple des métaux |
Toi dont la large main cache les précipices |
Au somnambule errant au bord des édifices |
Ô Satan, prends pitié de ma longue misère! |
Ô Satan |
Ô Satan |
(translation) |
O you, the most learned and the most beautiful of the Angels |
God betrayed by fate and deprived of praise |
O Prince of exile, who has been wronged |
And who, defeated, always raises you up stronger |
You who know everything, great king of underground things |
Familiar healer of human anxieties |
You who, even to lepers, to accursed pariahs |
Teach by love the taste of Heaven |
O you who of Death, your old and strong lover |
Begot Hope, — a charming madwoman! |
You who give the outlaw that calm and lofty gaze |
Who damns a whole people around a scaffold |
You who know in what corners of the envious lands |
The jealous God hid the gems |
O Satan |
O Satan, have mercy on my long misery! |
O Satan |
You whose clear eye knows the deep arsenals |
Where sleeps buried the people of metals |
You whose broad hand hides the precipices |
To the wandering somnambulist at the edge of the buildings |
O Satan, have mercy on my long misery! |
O Satan |
O Satan |
