Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Op.43: Variation 22
Rhapsodie sur un thème de Paganini, Op. 43 : Variation 22
For myself, I'd deliberately create
Pour moi, je créerais délibérément
A pleasure house in a pleasant place.
Un palais de plaisir dans un lieu agréable.
Woods, hills, fields, meadows, open ground,
Bois, collines, champs, prairies, terrain découvert,
With splendid gardens all around.
Avec de splendides jardins tout autour.
Between green walls of velvet leaves,
Entre des murs verts de feuilles de velours,
Straight walks, where artful shadows please,
Des allées droites, où les ombres savantes font plaisir,
Waterfalls, spanning the rocks, in pairs,
Des cascades, enjambant les rochers, par paires,
And all those kinds of water-jet affairs:
Et toutes ces sortes d'affaires de jets d'eau :
Rising nobly, while all round the dish,
S'élevant noblement, tandis que tout autour du plat,
A thousand little fountains hiss and piss.
Mille petites fontaines sifflent et pissent.
Then I'd have a hut, snug and convenient,
Ensuite, j'aurais une hutte, confortable et pratique,
Where beautiful women might be content:
Où de belles femmes pourraient être contentes :
And pass the boundless time away
Et passer le temps sans limites
In the sweetest solitude, and play.
Dans la plus douce solitude, et jouer.
Women, I say: since, one and all,
Des femmes, je dis : car, toutes,
I think of their loveliness in the plural.
Je pense à leur beauté au pluriel.
