Gracieux fils de Pan! Autour de ton front couronné
de  fleurettes et de baies,  tes yeux,  des boules
précieuses,  remuent.  Tachées de lies brunes, tes
joues se creusent.  Tes crocs luisent. Ta poitrine
ressemble à une cithare,  des tintements circulent
dans tes bras blonds.  Ton cœur bat dans ce ventre
où dort  le double sexe.  Promène-toi,  la nuit en
mouvant  doucement  cette  cuisse,  cette  seconde
cuisse et cette jambe de gauche.

我已經延伸繩索　從一座尖塔到另一座尖塔
花環　從一扇窗到另一扇窗
金鏈　從一顆星到另一顆星，然後我跳舞

牧神優雅之子！
在你的前額圍繞著小花和莓果
你的雙眼──珍貴的球──移動著
染上棕色的渣滓後　你的臉頰變得空洞
你的牙齒閃閃發亮
你的胸膛就像一把奇塔拉琴
叮鈴的聲響圍繞在你的金色膀臂上
你的心在肚腹間跳動
在那裏　兩倍大的性器官沈睡著
你在晚上　徐緩地漫步前進
這隻後大腿，第二隻後大腿，左前腳
