I feel something strange 
In me, which throbs endlessly, 
And I’m an obscure mix 
And farandole and dream.
She’s leaving the farandole, 
Having arms for banners, 
Hair for her halos, 
And it’s just the same chorus 
And it’s just a huge voice 
That neither ceases nor begins 
And sing the beautiful madness 
Sun and tambourines. 
She goes up again, she climbs 
On tiny Olympi 
Stony hillsides whose wimps, 
Whose wimple is made of thyme, 
She crosses the valleys 
And, through the astonished peaks, 
She launches, unleashed 
To go into the distance. 
To see her close, the clouds 
Farandolent in a mirage 
Towards we do not know what blue shores … 
Oh ! See how she goes 
And by the mountains and by the strikes 
She goes in the brief hours 
And passed out in the dream 
In the dream we dreamed … 
I feel something strange 
In me, which throbs endlessly, 
And I’m an obscure mix 
And farandole and dreams… ..  |
