Text

4. Les table et les deux verres

Nous nous sommes rencontrés dans un caveau maudit
Au temps de notre jeunesse
Fumant tous deux et mal vêtus attendant l’aube
Êpris épris des même paroles dont il faudra changer le sens
Trompés trompés pauvres petits
et ne sachant pas encore rire
La table et les deux verres devinrent
un mourant qui nous jeta le dernier
regard d’Orphée

Réjouissons-nous non parce que notre amitié
a été le fleuve qui nous a fertilizes
Terrains riverains dont l’abondance est
la nourriture
que tous espèrent

– Guillaume Apollinaire (1880-1918)

4. Les table et les deux verres

We first met in a miserable wine bar
When we were young
Smoking and badly dressed awaiting the dawn
In love in love with meaningless words
Deceived deceived poor little boys
not acquainted with laughter
The table and two glasses became
A dying man who we throw
the last look of Orpheus

We rejoice not because our friendship
was the river that was fertilized
River lands whose abundance is
the nourishment
that all hope for
