Paradis inanimé [English translation]

In my sheets of chrysanthemum

Dawn struggles to whisper to me 1

Quietly its requiem

Its worshipped poems

There, in my granite bed 2

I break up my life

Illicit offences, wishes

Hope, void and boredom

But forever

For the sake of mine

Leave me my...

Lifeless paradise

Lengthy slumber, curled up

Deserted paradise

Beneath the moon, lying down

Sham paradise

Deleterious, I was abandoned

And dying of being mortal

Dying of being loved

Marbled 3inside that stele-couch 4

I will read nothing tonight

Will not talk anymore, nothing better

Than falling asleep in the sheets

Of dark

It is darkness, the hereafter

The world is passing away

The epitaph could dare

Answer my grief
