La terre est bleue...//The earth is blue...
La terre est bleue comme une orange
Jamais une erreur les mots ne mentent pas ls ne vous donnent plus à chanter Au tour des baisers de s’entendre Les fous et les amours Elle sa bouche d’alliance Tous les secrets tous les sourires Et quels vêtements d’indulgence À la croire toute nue. Les guêpes fleurissent vert L’aube se passe autour du cou Un collier de fenêtres Des ailes couvrent les feuilles Tu as toutes les joies solaires Tout le soleil sur la terre Sur les chemins de ta beauté. |
The earth is blue as an orange
No mistake the words aren’t lying They give you nothing more to lilt At the turn of hearing kisses Fools and amours She her mouth of conjunction All the secrets all the smiles And what vestments of indulgence To believe her entirely nude. Wasps flourish green Sunup occurs around the neck A windowed necklace Wings covering leaves You have every solar mirth All the sunlight on the earth On the ways of your lovelihead. |
Paul Eluard
(translated by Christopher Mulrooney)
