WHEN THE MUSIC BECOMES POETRY: – Circles in the water, by Francoise Hardy

DES RONDS DANS L’EAU

Tu commenças ta vie, tout au bord d’un ruisseau. Tu vécus de ces bruits, qui courent dans les roseaux, qui montent des chemins, que filtrent les taillis. Les ailes du moulin, les cloches de midi soulignant d’un sourire, la chanson d’un oiseau. Tu prenais des plaisirs, à faire des ronds dans l’eau. Aujourd’hui tu ballottes, dans des eaux moins tranquilles, tu t’acharnes et tu flottes. Mais l’amour, où est-il? L’ambition a des lois, l’ambition est un culte, tu voudrais que ta voix, domine le tumulte. Tu voudrais que l’on t’aime un peu comme un héros, mais qui saurait quand même faire des ronds dans l’eau, s’il y a tous ces témoins que tu veux dans ton dos. Dis-toi qu’ils pourraient bien, devant tes ronds dans l’eau, te prendre pour l’idiot, l’idiot de ton village, qui lui est resté là pour faire des ronds dans l’eau.

CIRCLES IN THE WATER

You began your life, at the edge of a stream. You experienced these noises, running in the reeds, going up paths that filter thickets. The wings of the mill, midday bells highlighting of a smile, the song of a bird. You took pleasure, making circles in the water. Today you tossed, in less tranquil waters, you’re fierce and you float. But love, where is he? The ambition has laws, ambition is a cult, you would like your voice, dominating the tumult. You want us to just love you as a hero, but which can still make circles in the water, if all these witnesses you want in your back. Tell yourself that they might well before your circles in the water, you take to the idiot, idiot of your village, which remained there for him making circles in the water.
