my conquistador dream

Conquistador, for you, my queen,
I want to conquer your heart, cursed star
I want to possess your revolt, and all that is predicted tomorrow,
Conquistador, Conquistador,
I want to tame your eyes, ferocious tigers
I want to share your imagination with the gods
Conquistador, for you my queen, 
I want to enter your citadel, 
I want to climb all your hills, cum on them,
I also want to abolish chance, and stolen jewelry,
Like Mallarme, the luminous poet,
Conquistador, Conquistador,
I want all of South America, 
I want the sun from your throat, and the wise latitudes
I want the treasure of your silences,
Conquistador, Conquistador,
I want to belong to you my queen, what a conquest,  
I want to throw my weapons at your feet,
And believe only in this shooting star like a kiss,
This kiss is the only truth of the moment, of a new world.






Conquistador, pour toi, ma reine,
Je veux conquérir ton cœur, astre maudit
Je veux posséder ta révolte, et tout ce qu’on prédit demain,
Conquistador, Conquistador,
Je veux mettre à genoux tes yeux, tigres curieux
Je veux partager ton imaginaire, avec les dieux
Conquistador, pour toi ma reine, 
Je veux entrer dans ta citadelle, 
Je veux gravir toutes tes collines, jouir sur elles,
Je veux aussi abolir le hasard, et les bijoux volés,
Comme Mallarmé, le poète lumineux,
Conquistador, Conquistador,
Je veux toute l’Amérique du Sud, 
Je veux le soleil de ta gorge, et les sages latitudes
Je veux le trésor de tes silences,
Conquistador, Conquistador,
Je veux t’appartenir ma reine, quelle conquête,  
Je veux jeter mes armes à tes pieds,
Et ne plus croire qu’en cette étoile filante comme un baiser,
Seule vérité du moment, d’un monde nouveau.

Romantic lines about a country or metaphorically meaning a lover maybe. Thanks for sharing your talent with us. Sara K

C’est vraiment romantique yann. Ses yeux de tigre et son imagination des dieux sont certainement suffisants pour déposer vos armes à ses pieds. S’il vous plaît, continuez à poster votre français original et laissez la bourgeoisie de PoetrySoup penser que vous traduisez de l’anglais vers le français lol.Baudelaire devait-il soumettre sa poésie en anglais ? :)~ Merci beaucoup pour ce poème.

thanks Jeff, for the supportive comment in french, votre français est magnifique, je pense que j'étais vraiment amoureux quand je l'ai écrit, puisque je me prenais pour un conquistador, comme vous avez raison, Baudelaire est un poète universel, mieux vaut le lire en français, les deux langues sont magnifiques, je suis touché par vos mots et la qualité de votre français, meilleurs voeux à vous
