À qui n'a pas aimé [English translation]
À qui n'a pas aimé [English translation]
To whom love failed, who didn't love
To the one who never touched her fragrant lips
Never felt her dark look
Her hurting eyes, disarmed by fever
To the one who never pointed at the deep wound
The tearing pain of the beloved one
And the most commonplace daily moments
Becoming precious without meaning to
Like a plant you pull up
From the soil, from the compost 1
Like a hand you set free
But for sure these two will lose their eyesight
In the midst of heavenly bliss
Together blind to the cruel world
With no need to hide anymore
Like a plant you pull up
From the soil, from the compost
Like a hand you set free
To whom this caress was never given
To the one who never touched the thick grass
That shivers and bows as in times past
But these holes are sockets through which the air blows
And in the end I couldn't care less about it
Perhaps shall I disappear in a fold of nothingness
For having been together, leaving nothing more than
A feeling that vanishes in tears and water
Like a plant you pull up
From the soil, from the compost
And remains attached by its stem
And will neither grow nor die nor pass
Simply decay
Who didn't know
Who didn't love...
