Zénith

Zénith
Tous ces regrets
Ces jardins sans limites
Où le crapaud module un tendre cri d'azur
La biche du silence éperdu passe vite
Un rossignol meurtri par l'amour chante sur
Le rosier de ton corps dont j'ai cueilli les roses
Nos coeurs pendent ensemble au même grenadier
Et les fleurs de grenade en nos regards écloses
En tombant tour à tour ont jonché le sentier

Richtung Süden

Language: German (Deutsch) after the French (Français)

Zenit
      All dieses Bedauern
                          Diese Gärten ohne Grenzen

Wo die Kröte einen zarten Azur-Schrei moduliert 
Das Reh in verzweifeltem Schweigen entflieht
Eine Nachtigall verwundet durch die Liebe singt über
Dem Rosenstrauch deines Körpers dessen Rosen ich pflückte 
Unsere Herzen hängen gemeinsam am selben Granatapfelbaum
Und die Blüten des Granatapfels öffneten sich unter unseren Blicken
Nach und nach herabfallend haben sie den Pfad bedeckt .
