Vénus [English translation]

There a venomous stinger

There a deceptive support (pedestal)

Even further

A root half drenched

In a briny liquid

Full of concoctions

Of acid

That will eat away at the bones and then

The inevitable

Friendly clearing

Vaste, welcoming

The fruits within the reach of the hand

And the diverse delights

Dissimulated in the bowels of a forest canopy

Higher than the skies....

She is born of caprices

She is born of caprices

Golden apples, diamond peaches

Golden apples, diamond peaches

Cherries that pinkened and plumped up

When two fingers captured them

The rain and the dew

The rain and the dew

All these things with which

It was good to go

Guided by a star

Perhaps this one here

First to light up the night

First to light up the night

First to light up the night

Vénus

Vénus

Vénus

There a venomous stinger

There a deceptive support (pedestal)

Even further

A root half soaked

In a briny liquid

and with acid

Which will probably eat away at your bones

And then

The fruits within reach of the hand

And the diverse delights

Dissimulatred in the bowels of a forest canopy

She is born of caprices

She is born of caprises

Golden apples, diamond peaches

Golden apples, diamond peaches

And cherries that plumped up when

The rain and the dew

All these things

Guided by a star

Guided by a star

First to light up the night

Vénus

Vénus

Vénus

Vénus

She is born of caprices

She is born of caprices

Golden apples, diamond peaches

Golden apples, diamond peaches

And these cherries that plumped up when

The rain and the dew

All these things

Guided by a star

Guided by a star

First to light up the night

Vénus
