PALE MOONLIGHT : “Clair de lune” by Paul Verlaine (Translated by Carole D )
Your soul is like a landscape fantasy,
Where masks and bergamasks in charming wise,
Strum lutes and dance, but almost sadly
Hidden beneath their fanciful disguise.
Singing in minor mode of life’s largesse
And all victorious love and timely life
They don’t seem to believe in their happiness
And their song mingles with the pale moonlight
The Pale moonlight…
The calm pale moonlight whose heartbreaking beauty
Thrills the birds softly dreaming in the tree,
And makes the marbled fountains gushing streaming
Slender water jets sob in ecstasy
Singing in minor mode of life’s largesse
And all victorious love and timely life
They don’t seem to believe in their happiness
And their song mingles with the pale moonlight
The Pale moonlight…

"CLAIR DE LUNE" / Paul VERLAINE :
Votre âme est un paysage choisi
Que vont charmant masques et bergamasques
Jouant du luth et dansant et quasi
Tristes sous leurs déguisements fantasques.
Tout en chantant sur le mode mineur
L’amour vainqueur et la vie opportune
Ils n’ont pas l’air de croire à leur bonheur
Et leur chanson se mêle au clair de lune,
Au calme clair de lune triste et beau,
Qui fait rêver les oiseaux dans les arbres
Et sangloter d’extase les jets d’eau,
Les grands jets d’eau sveltes parmi les marbres.
