Chanson de l'oiseleur

JACQUES PREVERT
L′oiseau qui vole si doucement
L'oiseau rouge et tiède comme le sang
L′oiseau si tendre l'oiseau moqueur
L'oiseau qui soudain prend peur
L′oiseau qui soudain se cogne
L′oiseau qui voudrait s'enfuir
L′oiseau seul et affolé
L'oiseau qui voudrait tant vivre
L′oiseau qui voudrait chanter
L'oiseau qui voudrait mourir
L′oiseau qui voudrait crier
L'oiseau rouge et tiède comme le sang
L'oiseau qui vole si doucement
C′est ton cur jolie enfant
Ton cur qui bat de l′aile si tristement
Contre ton sein si dur si blanc.

The Birdcatcher's Song

JACQUES PREVERT
The bird that flies so softly
The bird, red and warm as blood
The bird, so tender, the mockingbird
The bird that suddenly takes fright
The bird that suddenly crashes
The bird that would like to flee
The bird, alone and distraught
The bird that would so much like to live
The bird that would like to sing
The bird that would like to die
The bird that would like to cry out
The bird, red and warm as blood
The bird that flies so softly
It's your heart, my pretty
Your heart that beats its wings so sadly
Against your breast so hard, so white.
