Le possédé

Le soleil s'est couvert d'un crêpe. Comme lui,
Ô Lune de ma vie ! emmitoufle-toi d'ombre ;
Dors ou fume à ton gré ; sois muette, sois sombre,
Et plonge tout entière au gouffre de l'Ennui ;
 
Je t'aime ainsi ! Pourtant, si tu veux aujourd'hui,
Comme un astre éclipsé qui sort de la pénombre,
Te pavaner aux lieux que la Folie encombre,
C'est bien ! Charmant poignard, jaillis de ton étui !
 
Allume ta prunelle à la flamme des lustres !
Allume le désir dans les regards des rustres !
Tout de toi m'est plaisir, morbide ou pétulant ;
 
Sois ce que tu voudras, nuit noire, rouge aurore ;
Il n'est pas une fibre en tout mon corps tremblant
Qui ne crie : Ô mon cher Belzébuth, je t'adore !

The One Possessed

Versioni: #1#2#3
The sun was covered with a crape. Like him,
Moon of my life! swathe yourself with darkness;
Sleep or smoke as you will; be silent, be somber,
And plunge your whole being into Ennui's abyss;
 
I love you thus! However, if today you wish,
Like an eclipsed star that leaves the half-light,
To strut in the places which Madness encumbers,
That is fine! Charming poniard spring out of your sheath!
 
Light your eyes at the flame of the lusters!
Kindle passion in the glances of churls!
To me you're all pleasure, morbid or petulant;
 
Be what you will, black night, red dawn;
There is no fiber in my whole trembling body
That does not cry: "Dear Beelzebub, I adore you!"
 
Grazie!

I've replaced the Romanian adaptation, which I had added here and of which I had wished a translation, with the original French lyrics since all translations added to it were based on the French text.
I've added a new entry for the Romanian adapation. I figured out in the meantime who it probably was done by.
