J'ai faim [English translation]

I feel hungry when I look at you,

I could devour your face

your nape and your neck as a jealous lover

expected that from me

I feel hungry when I look at you

if you could offer me at your age

My heart erupted in garden since the summer

I expect it from you.

I am hungry, I would like to run

on the bitumen hooked by nails

the cliff of salt in the month of August

the parvis of the churches and temples

I am hungry, I would like to die

in a laugh at noon

in a roar of glass at midnight

My caress stopped on your temple.

I am hungry in my old country

if I could find the courage

to swim up to the sex of the earth.

I am hungry day and night

I don't want to sleep any longer

Talk to me for weeks, for hours on end.

I am hungry, I would like to run

on the bitumen hooked by nails

the cliff of salt in the month of August

the parvis of the churches and temples

I am hungry, I would like to die

in a laugh at midnight

in a roar of glass at noon

My caress stopped on your temple.

I am hungry for milk, white rice,

female verbs, music,

for teeth on my neck,

I am hungry for a crazy lover,

You know, I am often hungry .

I am hungry for oppressive words ,

for pearls of water, ancient forests,

for cries, birth and noise in the silence,

You know, I have hunger for all…
