Le temps haletant (The gasping time)
Enchanted by everything never wondering about anything
A girl sang
following the seasons following her path
When the onions make me laugh the carrots make me cry
the donkey succeeded in teaching me to read
true reading
But a crank jumbled the spring
and pieces of ice sprang into her face
I have too many tears to weep
they are at war with nature
I, who was on first-name terms with the sun
did not dare to look at his face.
A quoi rêvais-tu (What did you dream about)
What did you dream about
Dressed
and coated
What did you dream about
undressed
I left my fur coat in the cloakroom
and we set off for the desert
We lived on love and fresh water
we loved each other in misery
we ate our dirty washing-up in famine
and on the table-cloth of black sand
the dishes tinkled in the sun
We loved each other in misery
we lived on love and fresh water
I was your bare property.
