Translation
Elles/Them .. Women
These old and tired clichés
in two-penny tunes...
Do we really have to add more rhymes
to these millions of poems,
between us?
This is nothing new ..
I know.
Repeated a thousand times over ..
I agree.
We have had enough of these stories,
where each one of us got lost in one of them.
But once the people, and the pointless time, are gone ..
what we have left is:
Indelible
Elles/Women ..
The first and the last
the sisters, the lovers, the mothers,
and the faithful lights ..
Elles/Women ..
Shining in the too dark nights
Elles/Women ..
Standing when everything shudders and crumbles
Elles/Women ..
Here to the end of the world.
Men play with fear,
with the worst, with power, with death,
with randomness, with hatred, by lying to one another, and by pleasure
Men just play
Men weigh each other up; they dream,
they drink and indulge themselves.
Puny little soldiers,
they taunt each other, and then they run away ..
Men just play.
With weapons and tombs
and the fields of horror ..
amidst ashes .. and suffering.
But Elles/Women ..
are here to nurture and heal,
to stroke, to smile ..
to light up the shadows.
Elles/Women
They're heavens to come ..
to give birth rather than destroy ..
To rebirth everything ..
To rebuild everything
And even ..
one of them is mine ..
Like a grace .. my fortune ..
She makes my life worth living ..
Her ..
My Elle .. My Woman ......

About translator
Unlike French and other gender based languages, English doesn't have a plural form for HER! And that's why I chose to use the word ELLES instead of just THEM, because it is more symbolic, gentle and graceful. Hope you will like this translation .... Namasté
