Papillons noirs
Language: French (Français)
De sinistres papillons noirs Du soleil ont éteint la gloire, Et l'horizon semble un grimoire Barbouillé d'encre tous les soirs. Il sort d'occultes encensoirs Un parfum troublant la mémoire; De sinistres papillons noirs Du soleil ont éteint la gloire. Des monstres aux gluants suçoirs Recherchent du sang pour le boire, Et du ciel, en poussière noire, Descendent sur nos désespoirs. De sinistres papillons noirs.

Language: German (Deutsch) after the French (Français)
Finstre, schwarze Riesenfalter Töteten der Sonne Glanz. Ein geschlossnes Zauberbuch, Ruht der Horizont - verschwiegen. Aus dem Qualm verlorner Tiefen Steigt ein Duft, Erinnrung mordend! Finstre, schwarze Riesenfalter Töteten der Sonne Glanz. Und vom Himmel erdenwärts Senken sich mit schweren Schwingen Unsichtbar die Ungetume Auf die Menschenherzen nieder... Finstre, schwarze Riesenfalter.
