a dynamic parphrase translation of Apollinaire I'll Pleut It rains voices of women fallen from memory: in you also o raindrops, rains the crucial events of my life. And these clouds thunder aloud a world with a host of voices. Hear,it rains of regret and contempt weeping their well-worn tunes, hear,those falling shackles that imprison you head to toe. You may listen to my YouTube clip of this translation under my pen name ichthyschiro featuring me voice in English and my youngest granddaughter in French @ https://m.youtube.com/watch?t=8s&v=73aTfJS20hk
