Charles Baudelaire - Femmes damnées (Delphine et Hippolyte) dalszöveg fordítás angol nyelvre

English

Doomed women (Delphine and Hippolyte)

By the pale glow of languishing lamp lights,
lying on deep cushions saturated with scent,
Hippolyte dreamed of the powerful caresses
that drew the curtain off her youthful innocence.

She sought with eyes made unquiet by the storm
the already distant sky of her candidness
as a traveller would turn his head back toward
the blue horizons he walked past in the morning

The unhurried tears held back by her eyelashes,
her broken air, stupor, and doleful delight,
her vanquished arms thrown back like useless weapons,
all served and adorned her fragile beauty.

Lying at her feet, serene and full of joy,
Delphine kept watching her with eyes full of flames,
like a strong beast would watch a prey after having
sunk his teeth inside it to tag it as a prey.

Strong beauty kneeling in front of a beauty frail,
magnificent, she would inhale voluptuously
the wine of her triumph as she leaned toward her,
as if to be granted a sweet acknowledgement.

She sought deep in the eyes of her pallid victim
the inaudible hymn that is sung by pleasure,
and this infinite and sublime gratitude
that eyelids let out like a prolonged sigh.

'Hippolyte, dear heart, what do you think of this?
Will you now understand that you should not offer
the sacred holocaust of your early roses
to vehement breaths that could wither them to death?

My kisses are as light as these transient mayflies
that brush in the evening the great transparent lakes,
while those of your lover will dig their deep furrows
like chariots would, or some harrowing ploughs

They will pass over you like a heavy carriage,
horses or bullocks and their unforgiving hooves
Hippolyte, my sister, would you look at me,
my heart and soul, better half and everything,

would you cast at me a glance full of sky and stars?
For one of these charming gazes of divine balm,
I would unveil the most obscure of the delights,
I would put you to sleep in a dream without end!'

That is when Hippolyte raised her juvenile head:
'Ungrateful I am not, nor am I repentant.
Delphine dear, I suffer and I am most alarmed,
as would be after a nocturnal frightful meal.

I feel heavy terrors gather to pounce on me,
and dark ghostly legions of scattered spirits
trying to lead me down heaving and winding paths
enclosed from all sides by bloody horizons.

Would it be that we did perpetrate a strange act?
Would you, if possible, explain my troubled fright:
I shudder for fear when you whisper 'my angel!',
and yet I feel my mouth be drawn closer to you.

Don't you look at me so, you my only concern!
You whom I'll always love, you my chosen sister,
even if you were a pitfall along my path,
and the beginning of a certain perdition!'

While shaking her fair mane dramatically, Delphine,
as if she were twitching on an iron tripod,
answered with fateful eyes in a despotic voice:
'Who dares, in front of love, evoke damnation?

Forever damned be he, the useless dreamer
who was the first to set, in his stupidity,
to solve a problem both unsolvable and sterile,
have honesty meddle in the matters of love!

He who strives to unite in a mystical pact
the shadow and the heat, the night and plain daylight,
will never warm up his paralytic body
to the blazing sun that goes by the name of love!

Go, if you so desire, fetch an uncouth suitor,
offer your virgin heart to his cruel kisses.
And then, filled with remorse and horror, and livid,
you'll come back to bring me your now defaced breasts...

No more than one master can be pleased here below!'
Then the child, pouring out an immense suffering,
burst out 'I feel a chasm widening in my being,
and this gaping chasm is no other than my heart!

A blazing volcano, unfathomable void!
Nothing will ever sate this foul moaning monster,
nothing will ever quench the thirst of the Fury
that draws blood from the burns inflicted by her torch1

Let our drawn curtains set us apart from the world,
let our tiredness bring some rest to us at last!
I want to annihilate myself in your bosom,
find lying on your breast the fresh air of the tomb!

Come down now, come down now, ye pitiful victims,
come down the path that leads to everlasting hell!
Dive to the deep end of the pit, where all the crimes
get flayed by a wind that doesn't come from Heaven

and teem haphazardly in a growl of thunder.
Foolish shadows, run to the aim of your desires.
Never will you succeed in satiating your rage,
and your punishment will be born from your pleasures.

Never was your cave lit by a fresh beam of light.
Through every wall crack, feverish miasmas seep
and come ablaze, shining as fiery lanterns,
suffusing your bodies with their horrendous stench.

The harsh barrenness of your lustful enjoyment
exacerbates your thirst and parches your skin taut,
and the enraged wind blown by concupiscence
makes your flesh flap and slap like a decrepit flag.

Away from living folks, wandering, outcast,
run ye through the deserts, among wild packs of wolves.
Make your own destiny, ye poor unruly souls,
flee this infinity you bear inside yourselves!

1. Mmm... I bet 'sang' is just there for the rhyme.
Come on, Charles, get a grip!

Definitely heading for chaos

When I dance with you
I change for a moment
When I dance with you
Then I'll dance forever

Sitting on the sidewalk in the city
Everything's spinning, but my tire is flat
I don't have a dime in my pocket
Looking back, it's all I've ever longed for

Forever young and connected
Numb and lost
Devoured, in love, and insane

I know what I want, and I want what I see
All these signals, they care for me
And I'm already afraid that I'll lose this someday
But that's not how I think right now

We're definitely heading for chaos
I pick the night and devour it too
You definitely want it as well
Dance with me until white smoke rises

When I dance with you
I change for a moment
(When I dance with you, I dance with you, I dance with you)
When I dance with you
Then I'll dance forever, hey
(When I dance with you, I dance with you, I dance with you)

When I dance with you, I dance with you, I dance with you
When I dance with you, I dance with you, I dance with you

And suddenly it's day
I've lost everything I had last night, everything I knew last night
And no matter how bad I feel, I'm definitely doing it all over again tonight (Right?)

Forever young and connected
Numb and lost
Devoured, in love, and insane

I know what I want, and I want what I see
All these signals, they care for me
And I'm already afraid that I'll lose this someday
But that's not how I think right now

We're definitely heading for chaos
I pick the night and devour it too
You definitely want it as well
Dance with me until white smoke rises

When I dance with you
I change for a moment
(When I dance with you, I dance with you, I dance with you)
When I dance with you
Then I'll dance forever, hey
(When I dance with you, I dance with you, I dance with you)

When I dance with you, I dance with you, I dance with you
When I dance with you, I dance with you, I dance with you

It's Good

It's good, it's good, it's good!
The little Jews yell it's good!
The wild enemy
Moves cruelly and fast
Whenever he appears,
Life becomes ruined.
And the little Jews yell it's good,
And the little Jews rejoice it's good,
It's nice, it's fine,
It cannot be better.

It's good, it's good, it's good!
The little Jews yell it's good!
The enemy goes ahead
With blood and disgrace,
And swallows day by day
Land after land.
And the little Jews yell it's good
And the little Jews rejoice it's good,
It's nice, it's fine,
The more he gulps down.

It's good, it's good, it's good!
The little Jews yell it's good!
The enemy gobbles up countries
And takes without end,
The stomach is full
No space for more.
And the little Jews yell it's good
And the little Jews rejoice it's good,
It's nice, it's fine,
His stomach isn't clean.

It's good, it's good, it's good!
The little Jews yell it's good!
The enemy has half of Europe
Already occupied,
And continues to take more,
His belly is almost bursting.
And the little Jews yell it's good,
And the little Jews rejoice it's good.
It's nice, it's fine,
No more can go in.

It's good, it's good, it's good!
The little Jews yell it's good!
From taking the enemy
Is already tired and sick,
He overate
And has no way out.
And the little Jews yell it's good
And the little Jews rejoice it's good
It's nice, it's fine,
His end will soon come.
Amen.

Tick-Tack

Tick tack, tick tack, punds my heart
It knows what this means -
You are leaving already, Malkale,
Over the far seas.

Tick tack, tick tack, tolls my heart
It knows the meaning of the sound
Without you, Malkale,
It will be sad and somber.

You are already leaving, Malkale,
Over the far seas.
Tick tack, tick tack, pounds my heart,
Have a healthy journey.

Unity - Hier en nu met jou dalszöveg fordítás angol nyelvre

Here and now with you

If it were up to me, we'd be alone
Without speaking, we say the most

You don't have to claim me
You break me
Take it easy
You need this
It's unnecessary for me
Just let it go

You keep wanting to know what it is
Want to know how it is
Want to know what's coming
But you know just as wel as I do
That this is what it is
Until it's over

If it were up to me, we'd be alone
Without speaking, we say the most
You shouldn't ask about what I don't know
Because when you're silent, that's when I want it the most

I can't see into the future
But I want to be here and now with ou
I let chance guide me
I want to be here and now
Yes, here and now with you

I can know
I have a past
Without you
And it went exactly like that
Back then, the boys promised everything
And it always went wrong

You keep wanting to know what it is
Want to know how it is
Want to know what's coming
But you know just as wel as I do
That this is what it is
Until it's over

If it were up to me, we'd be alone
Without speaking, we say the most
You shouldn't ask about what I don't know
Because when you're silent, that's when I want it the most

I can't see into the future
But I want to be here and now with ou
I let chance guide me
I want to be here and now
Yes, here and now with you

Yes, here and now with you
Yes, here and now with you
