LE JARDIN(The Garden)
- Jacques Prévert
Des milliers et des milliers d’années
Ne sauraient suffire Pour dire
La petite seconde d’éternité
Où tu m’as embrassé
Où je t’ai embrassée
Un matin dans la lumière de l’hiver
Au parc Montsouris à Paris
A Paris
Sur la terre
La terre qui est un astre
Translation by Alastair Campbell:
Thousands and thousands of years
Would not be enough
To tell of
That small second of eternity
When you held me
When I held you
One morning
In winter's light
In Montsouris Park
In Paris
On earth
This earth
That is a star
Would not be enough
To tell of
That small second of eternity
When you held me
When I held you
One morning
In winter's light
In Montsouris Park
In Paris
On earth
This earth
That is a star
A pair of Black swans in the Park
This man was sitting quietly occasionally feeding the swans and ducks with the little crumbs of bread he had.
