Marine

Language: French (Français)

Our translations: CHI ENG JPN SPA

Les chars d'argent et de cuivre -
Les proues d'acier et d'argent -
Battent l'écume, -
Soulèvent les souches des ronces.
Les courants de la lande,
Et les ornières immenses du reflux,
Filent circulairement vers l'est,
Vers les piliers de la forêt,
Vers les fûts de la jetée,
Dont l'angle est heurté par des tourbillons de lumière.

マリーン (海洋画)

Language: Japanese (日本語) after the French (Français)

銀と銅の車が
鋼鉄と銀の船首が
泡を立てて 
イバラの根元を持ち上げる 
荒地の流れと
引き潮の巨大な 轍 が 
円を描くように東に向かって進む 
森の柱に向かって 
桟橋の幹に向かって 
その角が光の渦に衝突した
