Desnos, Robert: Good day Good evening (Bonjour bonsoir in English)

Portre of Desnos, Robert

Bonjour bonsoir (French)

Il est nuit sois la flamme

Et la rougeur qui colore les nuages

Bonjour monsieur Bonsoir Madame

Vous ne paraissez pas votre âge

 

Qu'importe si vos étreintes

Font saigner les astres jumeaux

Qu'importe si ta face est peinte

si le givre brille aux rameaux

 

De granit ou de marbre

Votre âge paraîtra

Et l'ombre des grands arbres

sur vos tombeaux se promènera.

Good day Good evening (English)

It's night be the flame

And the red that colors the clouds

Good day sir Good evening madam

You don't look your age

 

What does it matter if your embraces

Make the twin stars bleed

What does it matter if your face is painted

if hoarfrost glitters on the branches

 

Of granite or marble

Your age will show

And the shade of the great trees

will walk on your graves.
