Les rires et le clown(original) |
Ce soir trangement, le chapiteau repose. |
La mort a fait main basse sur le rire des enfants. |
Le clown s’en est all et la lune rpand |
Sur son lit les onguents de la mtamorphose. |
La fanfare afflige et l’cuyre en pleurs, |
Les petits poneys blancs aux toupets de velours |
L’escorteront demain grands coups de tambours |
Sur la butte escarpe o sera sa demeure. |
Lui, drap dans l’azur, ira dire aux plantes |
Naissantes et toutes pleines de vie dcanter, |
Le secret lourd et bleu des rires dsenchants |
Qui sonnent en mineur les flonflons de la fte. |
Dans un cirque toil tendu de nues blondes, |
Pour des soleils enfants aux rires incandescents, |
Le clown fera revivre, ridicule et savant, |
Les rires o sont caches les dtresses du monde. |
Le rire du vieillard prs de l’arbre palabres, |
Cassant comme un regret sous le poids d’un jour neuf. |
Le rire du coolie reint comme un boeuf |
Ou le rire du fou, afft comme un sabre. |
Saltimbanque des rires qu’une larme enchevtre |
Il jonglera si bien, le clown, que l’infini |
Refera le calcul de ses cosmogonies |
Pour renouer les fils de ses pantins terrestres. |
Mais il taira le pire, le rire impardonnable, |
Ce triste rire d’enfant si las que dj vieux, |
Pour qui le clown ira botter le cul des dieux |
O qu’ils soient, dans leurs Olympes improbables. |
Ce soir trangement, le chapiteau repose. |
(translation) |
Strangely tonight, the marquee rests. |
Death has taken over the children's laughter. |
The clown is gone and the moon is pouring out |
On his bed the ointments of metamorphosis. |
The brass band afflicts and the squire in tears, |
Little white ponies with velvet forelocks |
Will escort him tomorrow great drumbeats |
On the steep knoll where his home will be. |
Him, draped in the blue, will tell the plants |
Nascent and all full of life decant, |
The heavy blue secret of disenchanted laughter |
Which sound in minor the blare of the party. |
In a circus stretched canvas of blonde nudes, |
For childish suns of incandescent laughter, |
The clown will revive, ridiculous and learned, |
The laughter where the troubles of the world are hidden. |
The laughter of the old man near the palaver tree, |
Brittle like regret under the weight of a new day. |
The coolie's laugh runs like an ox |
Or the madman's laughter, sharp as a sword. |
Mountebank of laughter that a tear entangles |
He will juggle so well, the clown, that infinity |
Will redo the calculation of his cosmogonies |
To retie the threads of his earthly puppets. |
But he will silence the worst, the unforgivable laughter, |
This sad child's laughter so tired that already old, |
For whom the clown will kick the ass of the gods |
Wherever they are, in their improbable Olympus. |
Strangely tonight, the marquee rests. |
