Socrate ou Bismarck ou Bouddha

L’air louche d’un sexe qui pense

Le front parti dans les nuances

Le foie calamine et calva




Boiteux comme l’ange qui chut

Ferme debout, leste de cul

Démembré comme l’araignée

Qu’écrase un monde à gros souliers




Suborneur acide des oies

Loqueteux mendiant princier

Qu’un démiurge farceur eût chié

Dans le monde afin qu’il pleurât




Dans le monde afin qu’il pleurât




Entre marbres métaphysiques

Et bronzes d’opprobre agonique

Poète des chiennes de vie

Et de ces chiennes la tique




Entre nuageuse portée

Plissements mauves, périnées

Entre l’immensité divine

Et la veine nègre qui pine




Verlaine, tu es le purin,

La rose qui l’élève en Dieu

Le livre donné, le lutrin




Le paysage et le chemin

Le paysage et le chemin

It was quite meanTo leave you on the roadI could have warned youBut I failed to be bold(I)Gave you this meetingNow I’m shaking, all my bonesThe city is still sleeping and now, I see the road
I’d never say we have come to an endI’d never leave outside from my worldI’d never claim we should come back to square one I know this is not fairI know that you’re desperate
I’d never say we have come to an endI’d never leave outside from my worldI’d never claim we should come back to square one I know this is not fairI know that you’re desperateI know that we’ll meet againI know that we’ll meet again
Take a deep breathAs you’re putting on your coatTake a short stepNow you’re walking in the cold
Hope we will embraceAnd talk with no remorseHope we’ll find a wayTo learn being alone
If you could prayIf I could stayIf we could manage to separateIf I could heal
If you could screamThis would be real

I’d never say we have come to an endI’d never leave outside from my worldI’d never claim we should come back to square
I know this is not fairI know that you’re desperate
I’d never say we have come to an endI’d never leave outside from my worldI’d never claim we should come back to square one 
I know this is not fairI know that you’re desperateI know that we’ll meet again
