Language: French (Français)
Les paons nonchalants, les paons blancs ont fui,
Les paons blancs ont fui l'ennui du réveil;
Je vois les paons blancs, les paons d'aujourd'hui,
Les paons en allés pendant mon sommeil,
Les paons nonchalants, les paons d'aujourd'hui,
Atteindre indolents l'étang sans soleil,
J'entends les paons blancs, les paons de l'ennui,
Attendre indolents les temps sans soleil.

The indolent peacocks, the white...
Language: English after the French (Français)
The indolent peacocks, the white peacocks have fled,
The white peacocks have fled the ennui of waking;
I see the white peacocks, the peacocks of today,
The peacocks gone away during my sleep,
The indolent peacocks, the peacocks of today,
Indolently reaching the sunless pond,
I hear the white peacocks, the peacocks of ennui,
Indolently awaiting the sunless season.
