Le chaland qui passe (original)Le chaland qui passe (translation)
La nuit s’est faite, la berge Night has come, the shore
S’estompe et se perd Fade and get lost
Seule, au passage une auberge Alone, passing an inn
Cligne ses yeux pers. Blink his personal eyes.
Le chaland glisse, sans trêve The barge slips, relentlessly
Sur l’eau de satin On the satin water
Où s’en va-t-il?Where is he going?
Vers quel rêve? Towards what dream?
Vers quel incertain Towards what uncertain
Du destin? Fate?
Ne pensons à rien, le courant Let's not think of anything, the current
Fait de nous toujours des errants Always make us wanderers
Sur mon chaland, sautant d’un quai On my barge, jumping off a dock
L’amour peut-être s’est embarqué Love may have embarked
Aimons-nous ce soir sans songer Let's love tonight without thinking
A ce que demain peut changer To what tomorrow may change
Au fil de l’eau point de serments: Along the water no oaths:
Ce n’est que sur Terre qu’on ment ! It is only on Earth that we lie!
Ta bouche est triste et j'évoque Your mouth is sad and I evoke
Ces fruits mal mûris These unripe fruits
Loin d’un soleil qui provoque Far from a sun that provokes
Leurs chauds coloris Their warm colors
Mais sous ma lèvre enfiévrée But under my fevered lip
Par l’onde et le vent By wave and wind
Je veux la voir empourprée I want to see her flushed
Comme au soleil levant Like the rising sun
Les auvents Awnings
Ne pensons à rien, le courant Let's not think of anything, the current
Fait de nous toujours des errants Always make us wanderers
Sur mon chaland, sautant d’un quai On my barge, jumping off a dock
L’amour peut-être s’est embarqué Love may have embarked
Aimons-nous ce soir sans songer Let's love tonight without thinking
A ce que demain peut changer To what tomorrow may change
Au fil de l’eau point de serments: Along the water no oaths:
Ce n’est que sur Terre qu’on ment !It is only on Earth that we lie!

Concerning the English translation, there could be improvements. For example, "ses yeux pers," "pers" = "bluish-green." "Sautant d'un quai" = passing by docks" (?). "Les auvants" = "awnings" makes no sense (I can't suggest anything.)
