I do not pretend to tame or conquer
Heights or skies
All I want is your revered beauty
Accompanying
My Odyssey so I can watch your
Marvels with
The Deference merited.
Sit in your silence or accept your
Fury crashing
Against the rocks, fire spitting off
The lips of
Earth, flashes gleaming through
The darkened
Wrathful clouds.
I would like to see the highest waterfalls
Offer itself
To its nucleus… sands sweep the
Evanescent dunes,
The waters shimmering…under the sun,
Froth Vanishing
On white, pink or black sands.
I have heard the echoes of ages,
Smelled foliage
After storm, stones impregnated
With life…
Followed tracks
With no direction, vibrating in me
The familiar sounds…
Of sub silentio… have witnessed
Frost crystallizing
Over dormant villages & glazed lakes,
Inhaled shards of
Glass deep in December’s bewitchment,
But never
Have I retired into
Your arm folds, lulled by your
Differing Anthems
Been a corroborator to your
Grandeur.
I have dreamt you in my
Days & nights,
Attending as an habitué,
Breathing in me, life in its kernel,
Crooning
The promises of paradise…
On the wings
Of habit & proneness…
But until then,
I will wait for the betrothal

Silencieux
Merveilleux
Dans ce soir mouvant
J’écoute le vent
Héritière
Passagère
De mes jours maudits
Ça je le suis
Mon amour
Je te dis tout
Tu peuples ma vie
À l’infini
Abuse le sort
Frappe à ma porte
Pose une main
Sur mon front
Sur mes seins
Si d’aventure
Je quittais terre
Tu es mon sang
Mon double aimant
Mon ADN
Et sur ton pull
J’y broderais M
Pour que nos sangs
Se mêlent au vent
Mon ADN
Dénudée
Enserrée
Dans ce jeu sanglant
Je dis tout au vent
Aussi calme
Qu’un nuage
Je suis qui pardonne au temps
Aux absents
Mon amour
Je te dis tout
Tu peuples ma vie
À l’infini
Abuse du sort
Frappe à ma porte
Pose une main
Sur mon front
Sur mes seins

Translation in English
——————
silent
wonderful
Moving in tonight
I listen to the wind
heiress
transient
My cursed days
That I am
my love
I tell you everything
You populate my life
To Infinity
Abuse fate
Knocking at my door
Lay a hand
On my forehead
On my breasts
If perchance
I’d left earth
You are my blood
My double magnet
My DNA
And on your sweater
I’d embroider M
So our blood
Mingle with the wind
My DNA
bare
enclosed
In this bloody game
I say all to the wind
as calm
as a cloud
I am who forgives time
the absent
my love
I tell you everything
You populate my life
To Infinity
Abuse of fate
Knocking at my door
Lay a hand
On my forehead
On my breasts

Thank you for posting this song, I love it too! It’s so mesmerising….
If I may, I would translate a few things differently :
“In the moving night” instead of “Moving into the night”
“Transient heiress of my cursed days, that, I am.” instead of “Heiress, transient, my cursed days”
“Abuse fate, knock at my door” instead of “Abuse fate, knocking at my door”
“You are my blood, my loving double, my DNA” instead of “You are my blood, my double magnet, my DNA”.
“Aimant” mean “loving” as well as “magnet”, I think in this song it means loving.
I don’t mean to be rude, I hope you don’t mind.

I appreciate the corrections. I had thought the translation to be professional as it was on a specific site & didn’t bother to check. I took a huge risk approving your comment as I could not connect to your site & just got a blank page so I hope you’re not a virus message…
Let me know how to check your site, just to be on the safe side

This poem was the result of an enchanting and memorable trip on Holland’s thin roads running along its canals. It obviously had to be adjusted but the words, emotion and kernel were kept. The photos are fairly recent.
Enjoy it!
Authentic Holland
——————
Earth and paradise
In this country
Peace in its nature
Green, blue so pure
Narrow roads
Water on all sides
Line of earth
Precarious but salutary
Solitude and tranquility
Propitious pleasures
Picture perfect
Grandiose and magnificent
Landing
From time to time
In small quaint villages
Reminiscing a fairy tale
One final flight
Grazing the ground
Ethereal scenery
Coasting the imaginary
Euphoria and sadness
Contradictory feelings
Belonging to an evening
Of nature in triumph
On the highway, tired
Feeling purified
Of buried anxieties
Hitherto asleep
Furrowing this beautiful country
Its character dazzles us
And we regain…
The Holland of our youth
The port of our wandering.

La Hollande authentique
————————-
Terre et paradis
Dans ce pays
Paix en sa nature
Vert, bleu si pur
Routes étroites
L’eau de toute part
Ligne de terre
Précaire mais salutaire
Solitude et tranquillité
Plaisirs propices
Tableau parfait
Grandiose et magnifique
Atterrissant
De temps en temps
Dans de petits villages coquets
Rappelant un conte de fée
Un dernier envol
Frôlant le sol
Paysage irréel
Côtoyant l’imaginaire
Euphorie et tristesse
Sensations contradictoires
N’appartenant qu’un soir
A une nature en allégresse
Sur l’autoroute, fatigué
Se sentant purifié
Des angoisses enfouies
Jusqu’ici endormies
Sillonnant ce beau pays
Son caractère nous ébloui
Et nous regagnons…
La Hollande de notre enfance
Le port de notre errance.
