Poem on the 7th
Who has run on this beach?
It must have been very pretty
Was its sand white?
Were there yellow flowers
In the hole of every dune?
I would have liked to touch sand
Once between my fingers
Who has swum in this river?
You claim that it was fresh
And flowed down from the mountain
Were there pebbles
In the hole of every waterfall?
I would have liked to plunge my body
Once in a river
Come on, tell me no more lies
Show me pictures to see
If all of this really existed
You claim
That there was sand
And grass
And flowers
And water
And rocks
And trees
And birds
Come on, don't mock me
Who has walked in this trail?
You say that it lead to a house
And that there were children playing around?
Are you sure the photo wasn't faked?
You can ensure me that this really existed?
Do tell, come on, stop lying to me
I need to touch and see to believe
Really it's real?
The sand was white?
Really it's real?
There were children
Rivers
Trails
Rocks
Houses?
It's real?
It really existed?
It really existed?
Really?

About translator
The interrogative form is a bit fishy to translate because we can't be sure about some parts being interrogative or affirmative since in french it can be formed the same way, only with a different tone.
And all the "come on" "do tell" can seem a bit unnatural but they're used as a way of boosting the rest of the sentence.
