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

Toward the South
Language: English  after the French (Français)
Zenith
All these regrets
These gardens without limits
Where the toad varies a tender azure cry
The doe of the boundless silence passes quickly
A nightingale wounded by love sings on
The rosebush of your body from which I have picked the roses
Our hearts hang together on the same pomegranate tree
And the pomegranate flowers in our dawning glances
While falling by turns have littered the path
