Du retour des refrains en terre ceinte des toujours
(Poème écrit sous forme de sonnet occitan traduit en anglais ci-dessous ou ici)
30 août 2016
Le cœur prête de l’entrain au voyage des longs jours
Entre ponts et tunnels variations sur placements
Miser sur route en train de siffler le long cours
Découvertes sentinelles désarment mes parements
La bouche s’embourbe pétrin grandiloquents discours
S’inventer ritournelles de l’esprit égarements
Du retour des refrains en terre ceinte des toujours
Promesses sempiternelles diluées en lavements
Baptême des eaux vidées des particules de saint
L’enfant dans le miroir érige des cathédrales
Les poissons évidés un repas pour Toussaint
Racler fonds de tiroir voies vidées intégrales
Alchimies débridées découvertes en mon sein
Etendard en mouroir métastases théâtrales
Lecture du poème:
J’ai tout oublié – Marc Lavoine & Christine Marocco
On return of chorus to circled always land
(Translation into English of a poem written in French under Occitan sonnet form. See original above or here)

The heart lends some spirit to travel of long days
From bridges to tunnels investments variations
To bet upon a road whistling along the course
The discovered sentries disarm my ornaments
The mouth is mired trouble in grandiloquent speech
Inventing itself tunes of the mind’s wanderings
On return of chorus to circled always land
The endless promises diluted enemas
Baptism of waters emptied of saints’ aura
The child in the mirror erects the cathedrals
The cleaned out fish become a meal for Halloween
To scrape pits of drawers fully emptied highways
Unbridled alchemy discovered in my breast
Banner of the hospice metastasis theatre
Reading of the poem:

You mean like a night lullaby? sleep would be delightful then. 🙂 You have a beautiful voice and French brings out certain tones and peaks that complement the sound.

I sang one of my poems in french once but the mike was terrible as it was one of my first experiences in singing into a recorder but I posted it all the same. I must have some other songs on youtube but you can try and see if you like this one 😉
