La lampe à pétrole(original) |
Ses cheveux frisés sur la tempe |
Je la vois dedans mes pensées |
Elle coud sous la calme lampe |
Toutes ses années dépensées |
À chasser des bêtes qui rampent |
À chasser des bêtes qui rampent |
À distribuer des fessées |
À touiller du linge qui trempe |
À vieillir, courbe et ramassée |
Devant l'âtre où ses rêves campent |
Devant l'âtre où ses rêves campent |
Elle se revoit fiancée |
Il lui a montré ses estampes |
Et puis la guerre a commencé |
Et depuis, son cœur a des crampes |
Et depuis, son cœur a des crampes |
En fixant l'étoffe froissée |
D’un drapeau fané sur sa hampe |
Elle ignore qu’elle est stressée |
Quand son cœur saigne dans ses tempes |
Un grenier habite ses tempes |
Et vivre fut son seul excès |
On la donnera en exemple à tous, le jour de son décès |
Femme d’hier, petite lampe, femme d’hier, petite lampe, |
Petite lampe à pétrole, dans mes pensées |
(translation) |
Her hair curled at her temple |
I see her in my thoughts |
She sews under the quiet lamp |
All his years spent |
To hunt crawling beasts |
To hunt crawling beasts |
To distribute spankings |
Stirring soaking laundry |
To grow old, curved and picked up |
In front of the hearth where his dreams camp |
In front of the hearth where his dreams camp |
She sees herself engaged again |
He showed her his prints |
And then the war began |
And since then her heart has been cramping |
And since then her heart has been cramping |
Fixing the crumpled cloth |
With a faded flag on its pole |
She doesn't know she's stressed |
When her heart bleeds in her temples |
An attic dwells in her temples |
And living was his only excess |
She will be held up as an example to all on the day of her death |
Yesterday's woman, little lamp, yesterday's woman, little lamp, |
Little kerosene lamp, in my thoughts |
