Others will lead me towards happiness
By the horns on my brow knotted with many a tress:
You know, my passion, how ripe and purple already
Every pomegranate bursts, murmuring with the bees:
And our blood,
enamoured
of what will seize it,
Flows for all the eternal swarm of desire yet.

De vivre simplement, ardemment, sans rien dire
De mauvais, travaillant sous l'auguste sourire
D'une femme qu'on aime avec un noble amour:
Et l'on travaillerait fierement tout le jour,
Ecoutant le devoir comme un clairon qui sonne:
Et l'on se sentirait tres heureux: et personne
Oh!

Through the swoon, heavy and motionless
Stifling with heat the cool morning's struggles
No water, but that which my flute pours, murmurs
To the grove sprinkled with melodies: and the sole breeze
Out of the twin pipes, quick to breathe
Before it scatters the sound in an arid rain,
Is unstirred by any wrinkle of the horizon,
The visible breath, artificial and serene,
Of inspiration
returning
to heights unseen.
