Viens sur mon coeur, âme cruelle et sourde

Tigre adoré, monstre aux airs indolents

Je veux longtemps plonger mes doigts tremblants

Dans l'épaisseur de ta crinière lourde

Come to my heart, cold viper-soul malign

Beloved tiger, hydra indolent

Long will I drag my hands incontinent

And quivering, through this vast loosed mane of thine

Long will I bury throbbing brow and head

Among thy skirts all redolent of thee

And breathe, a blighted flower of perfidy

The fading odour of my passion dead

Dans tes jupons remplis de ton parfum

Ensevelir ma tête endolorie

Et respirer, comme une fleur flétrie

Le doux relent de mon amour défunt

I'll sleep, not live! I'll lose myself in sleep

In slumber soft as Death's uncertain shore

I'll sleep and sow my drowsy kisses o'er

Thy polished coppery arms and bosom deep

Je veux dormir, dormir plutôt que vivre

Dans un sommeil aussi doux que la mort

J'étalerai mes baisers sans remords

Sur ton beau corps poli comme le cuivre

Pour engloutir mes sanglots apaisés

Rien ne me vaut l'abîme de ta couche

L'oubli puissant habite sur ta bouche

Et le Léthé coule dans tes baisers

I'll sleep, not live! I'll lose myself in sleep

In slumber soft as Death's uncertain shore

I'll sleep and sow my drowsy kisses o'er

Thy polished coppery arms and bosom deep

To drown my sobs and still my spirit, oh

No boon but thine abysmal bed avails

Poppied oblivion from thy mouth exhales

And through thy kisses floods of Lethe flow

So to my doom, henceforward my desire

I shall submit as one predestinate

And like a martyr, calm, immaculate

Whose fervour prods again his flickering pyre

I'll suck, to drown my hate's eternal smart

Nepenthe, and good bitter hemlock brew

From the sharp rose-buds of thy breast, anew

Thy breast that never did contain a heart

À mon destin, désormais mon délice

J'obéirai comme un prédestiné

Martyr docile, innocent condamné

Dont la ferveur attise le supplice

Je sucerai, pour noyer ma rancoeur

Le népenthès et la bonne ciguë

Aux bouts charmants de cette gorge aiguë

Qui n'a jamais emprisonné de coeur
