A 15 ans [English translation]

At fifteen

I had a full soul

And my plain within reach of the wind

And the wind of his sweet breath

rocked my childish disorders

At fifteen

I had raptors

at the zoos for old and old

I knew how to chase them

of the peak of my fifteen years.

At fifteen

It's in swarms

that my beautiful fairies were coming

beat the wings to my candles

I knew how to love them so well.

At fifteen,

I had panache

and I only listened to my voice

At fifteen,

We should know

that one is never happy except in oneself.

At fifteen

I had a nimble soul

and often contradictory

I was selling what you hate

i hated what sells

At fifteen

I liked the feast

the body of the nymphs

with bird hearts

And all that does

we cut ourselves

The best part of the song.

At fifteen

It is in swarms

that the beauties of nights

were coming

beat an eyelash

by my candles

But no one was holding me back

At fifteen

it's time for the queens

prepare for the feast of kings

I didn't know mine

was starting to think of me.

At fifteen

She put her lips on my lips

And her body underneath

And I saw like a fever bath

Which was just a mud bath.

At fifteen

Young huntress,

she ran in my bushes

And if I believed her tenderness to be true

It's because she believed my songs to be true.

At fifteen

It's in swarms

that all my friends

were coming

hold the collar to my candles

that another flame consumed

At fifteen

We believe that we tear

Love

like a flower from a pot

At 15

we should know

let the dawn rise early.

Now,

My life is small

and small too

my loves

I who lived

way too fast

my desires overlook the courtyard

Now that she has put her foot down

on my eyes, my dreams and my flowers

My game must come down when I play spades it cuts to the heart.

Now it's in swarms that my days are stretched out in boredom

Because she stole my candles

to burn my night owls

Now I have to hide the love

In my heart unarmed

At fifteen

We should know

that a woman never loses.
