Kalonkadour (original)Kalonkadour (translation)
Au bord du lac de Kalonkadour At the edge of Lake Kalonkadour
J’ai vu la harpe aux cordes rouillées I saw the harp with the rusty strings
Le marronnier cacher la vipère The horse chestnut hiding the viper
La pluie brûlante en larmes tomber Burning rain in tears falling
J’ai vu la vague souiller la terre I saw the wave sully the earth
J’ai vu deux filles aux seins desséchés I saw two girls with parched breasts
Et leurs enfants nus que le froid lacère And their naked children that the cold tears
Au bord du lac de Kalonkadour At the edge of Lake Kalonkadour
Au bord du lac de Kalonkadour At the edge of Lake Kalonkadour
J’ai vu la mouette en corbeau changée I saw the seagull changed into a crow
L’air du matin plus lourd que l'ébène Morning air heavier than ebony
Le rossignol en aigle enchanté The Enchanted Eagle Nightingale
J’ai vu la boue jaillir des fontaines I've seen the mud spurt out of the fountains
Fleuve de sang des forêts gicler forest blood river squirt
Entendu le chant de cent mille sirènes Heard the song of a hundred thousand sirens
Des fonds du lac de Kalonkadour From the bottoms of Lake Kalonkadour
Au fond du lac de Kalonkadour At the bottom of Kalonkadour Lake
J’ai vu le miel couler du glacier I saw the honey dripping from the glacier
La goutte d’eau gelée par l’aurore The drop of water frozen by the dawn
Faire éclater plus de mille rochers Pop over a thousand boulders
Le coudrier se faire lance d’or The hazel to become spear of gold
J’ai vu des rois de chiens enfantés I have seen kings of dogs brought forth
Et j’ai vu des chênes plier alors And I saw oaks bend then
Au fond du lac de Kalonkadour At the bottom of Kalonkadour Lake
Au fond du lac de Kalonkadour At the bottom of Kalonkadour Lake
J’ai vu l’oiseau en flûte enchanté I saw the bird in the magic flute
J’ai vu tomber du buisson l'épine I saw the thorn fall from the bush
L'épée d’ajonc pourfendre l’acier The gorse sword cleaves steel
J’ai vu Janus que le cerf domine I saw Janus whom the deer dominates
J’ai vu le rat en goéland charmé I saw the rat in charmed gull
Et en vierge alors enchantée l’hermine And in virgin then enchanted the ermine
Au fond du lac de Kalonkadour At the bottom of Kalonkadour Lake
J’ai vu fleurir la harpe d’amour I saw the harp of love bloom
Au fond du lac de KalonkadourAt the bottom of Kalonkadour Lake
