âââ-â-------âââ--------------
Intro
Pre-chorus
> AussitĂŽt aprĂšs que lâidĂ©e du DĂ©luge se fut rassise,
> Un liĂšvre sâarrĂȘta dans les sainfoins et les clochettes mouvantes et dit sa priĂšre Ă lâarc-en-ciel
> Ă travers la toile de lâaraignĂ©e.
> Oh ! les pierres prĂ©cieuses qui se cachaient, â les fleurs qui regardaient dĂ©jĂ .
> Dans la grande rue sale les étals se dressÚrent,
Verse
> et lâon tira les barques vers la mer Ă©tagĂ©e lĂ -haut comme sur les gravures.
> Le sang coula, chez Barbe-Bleue, â aux abattoirs, â dans les cirques,
> oĂč le sceau de Dieu blĂȘmit les fenĂȘtres.
> Le sang et le lait coulĂšrent.
> Les castors bĂątirent. Les "mazagrans" fumĂšrent dans les estaminets.
> Dans la grande maison de vitres encore ruisselantes
> les enfants en deuil regardĂšrent les merveilleuses images.
> Une porte claqua, et sur la place du hameau, lâenfant tourna ses bras,
> compris des girouettes et des coqs de clocher de partout,
> sous lâĂ©clatante giboulĂ©e.
Bridge :Chorus
> Madame *** établit un piano dans les Alpes.
> La messe et les premiÚres communions se célébrÚrent aux cent mille autels de la cathédrale.
> Les caravanes partirent.
> Et le Splendide HĂŽtel fut bĂąti dans le chaos de glaces et de nuit du pĂŽle.
> Depuis lors, la lune entendit les chacals piaulant par les déserts de thym,
> â et les Ă©glogues en sabots grognant dans le verger.
> Puis, dans la futaie violette, bourgeonnante, Eucharis me dit que câĂ©tait le printemps.
> â Sourds, Ă©tang, â Ăcume, roule sur le pont, et par-dessus les bois ;
> â draps noirs et orgues, â Ă©clairs et tonnerre, â montez et roulez ;
> â Eaux et tristesses, montez et relevez les DĂ©luges.
> Car depuis quâils se sont dissipĂ©s,
> â oh ! les pierres prĂ©cieuses sâenfouissant, et les fleurs ouvertes ! â
> câest un ennui !
> et la Reine, la SorciĂšre qui allume sa braise dans le pot de terre
> ne voudra jamais nous raconter ce quâelle sait,
> et que nous ignorons.
Bridge
> As soon as the thought of the Flood had settled and stilled,
> A hare halted in the sainfoin and swaying bell-flowers,
> and prayed to the rainbow
> through the spiderâs spun sail.
> Oh! the jewels that hidâ
> the blossoms already gazing.
> In the great grimy street, stalls stood,
> and boats were dragged toward the tiered-up sea,
> high as in old engravings.
> Blood flowedâ
> in Bluebeardâs house,
> in slaughterhouses,
> in circuses where Godâs seal paled the panes.
> Blood and milk streamed.
> Beavers built. Mazagrans smoked in the cafés.
> In the tall glass house still streaming
> mourning children stared at the marvellous pictures.
> A door slammed, and on the hamlet square,
> the child spun his arms,
> understood by every weather vane and cockerel on the steeples,
> under the bright shower.
> Madame *** set a piano in the Alps.
> The mass and the first communions were sung at a hundred thousand altars in the cathedral.
> The caravans set off.
> And the Splendid Hotel was raised in the chaos of ice and the polar night.
> Since then, the moon has heard jackals wailing through the thyme deserts,
> and eclogues in clogs grumbling in the orchard.
> Then, in the violet, budding woods,
> Eucharis told me it was spring.
> â Deaf, pond, â Foam, flow over the bridge, and above the woods;
> â black drapes and organs, â lightning and thunder,â rise and roar;
Outro
> â Waters and sorrows, surge up and rekindle the Floods.
> For since they have withdrawnâ
> oh! jewels sinking, and flowers opening!â
> it is a weariness!
> And the Queen, the Witch tending her ember in the earthen pot,
> will never tell us what she knows,
> and what we do not.
