Our translations: CHI
Automne malade et adoré Tu mourras quand l'ouragan soufflera dans les roseraies Quand il aura neigé Dans les vergers Pauvre automne Meurs en blancheur et en richesse De neige et de fruits mûrs Au fond du ciel Des éperviers planent Sur les nixes nicettes aux cheveux verts et naines Qui n'ont jamais aimé Aux lisiéres lointaines Les cerfs ont bramé Et que j'aime ô saison que j'aime tes rumeurs Les fruits tombant sans qu'on les cueille Le vent et la forêt qui pleurent Toutes leurs larmes en automne, feuille à feuille Les feuilles Qu'on foule, Un train Qui roule La vie S'écoule
