Prévert, Jacques: Brunch (Déjeuner du matin in English)

Portre of Prévert, Jacques

Déjeuner du matin (French)

Il a mis le café

Dans la tasse

Il a mis le lait

Dans la tasse de café

Il a mis le sucre

Dans le café au lait

Avec la petite cuiller

Il a tourné

Il a bu le café au lait

Et il a reposé la tasse

Sans me parler

Il a allumé

Une cigarette

Il a fait des ronds

Avec la fumée

Il a mis les cendres

Dans le cendrier

Sans me parler

Sans me regarder

Il s’est levé

Il a mis

Son chapeau sur sa tête

Il a mis

Son manteau de pluie

Parce qu’il pleuvait

Et il est parti

Sous la pluie

Sans une parole

Sans me regarder

Et moi j’ai pris

Ma tête dans ma main

Et j’ai pleuré.

Brunch (English)

He put the coffee

In the cup

In put the milk

In the cup of coffee

He put the sugar

In the cafe au lait

With the little spoon

He stirred

He drank the coffee

And he set down the cup

Without speaking to me

He lit

A cigarette

He made rings

With the smoke

He put the ashes

In the ashtray

Without speaking to me

Without looking at me

He got up

He put

His hat on his head

He put

His raincoat on

Because it was raining

And he left

In the rain

Without a word

Without looking at me

And me I put my head in my hand

And I cried.
