Avant L’Hiver (Before Winter)

Eblouie

Pour des raisons mal-comprises,

Inconnues.

Comm’elle me tombe bien, cette pluie

Et comme mon cœur danse,

Ma petite âme, qui suive l’automne et la lune.

Ce soir, on va partager les étoiles

Une à une.

Rien pour moi ; je n’en veux aucune.

Je ne veux rien de cette pluie belle de l’hier

Sauf pour une feuille jaune

Pour emporter chaleur dans mon hiver.

 

                                  *

 

Dazzled

For reasons not understood

Unknown.

How I love this rain

And how my heart dances,

My little heart, who follows the autumn and moon.

Tonight, we will share the stars

One by one.

None for me ; I don’t want any.

I don’t want anything of this beautiful rain of yesteryear

Except for one yellow leaf

To bring warmth into my winter.
