Spanish
Debout sur mon orgueil je veux montrer au soir
L’envers de mon manteau endeuill? de tes charmes,
Son mouchoir infini, son mouchoir noir et noir,
Trait ? trait, doucement, boira toutes mes larmes.
Il donne des lys blancs ? mes roses de flamme
Et des bandeaux de calme ? mon front d?lirant…
Que le soir sera bon.. Il aura pour moi l’?me
Claire et le corps profond d’un magnifique amant.
English
Forsaking my pride, I want to show the night
The inside of my cloak, plunged in mourning for your charms.
Its infinite handkerchiefs, its handkerchiefs black and black,
Piece by piece, tenderly, will drink all my tears.
The night lays lilies upon my burning roses
And cool cloths upon my feverish brow…
How good the evening will be! It will have, for me,
The luminous soul, the profound body, of a magnificent lover.
(Delmira Agustini)
