Etienne Lariviere Poet Lyric

Tomber Dans Le Vide

translation below

Tomber dans le vide

Je rêve de toi
Je rêve de toi toute la nuit

Je bois du vin
Je bois l'amour 
Je suis triste dans la nuit
Je regarde dehors à la pluie

Je joue avec mon cheval-jouet
Je rêve de voyager
Je rêve de toi
Je meurs dans la nuit

Le froid, la glace
Mots inachevés


Translation

Falling into the void

I dream of you
I dream of you all the night

I drink the wine
I drink the love
I am sad in the night
I gaze outside at the rain

I play with my toy horse
I dream to travel
I dream of you
I die in the night

The cold, the ice
Words unfinished

Connie Marcum Wong May 23, 2015 at 8:02 AM Your lovely poem has depth that goes beyond words. Magnifique! Etienne Lariviere May 29, 2015 at 12:03 PM You are so kind Connie, I hope my email makes you smile!!! :) Merci

Mario De Paz April 28, 2015 at 12:12 PM I can appreciate both versions of the poem and I encourage you to continue to publish on this site. Being an italian, I tried first to translate my poems and I found english an unexpectedly various and sounding language. So you can try with french to english translations Etienne Lariviere May 3, 2015 at 1:55 PM Merci Mario, yes to write in a different lanquage or translate is not easy, however, It is so much fun to learn the small nuances in ones own lanquage by learning another!

Kp Nunez April 28, 2015 at 10:18 AM I like the repetition. It emphasizes the poignancy of the scene. Makes me regret not taking up French as Elective, though :( Jan Allison May 3, 2015 at 1:59 PM Oh Etienne you are so kind my friend! I see the start of a beautiful friendship! hugs Jan xxx Etienne Lariviere May 3, 2015 at 1:54 PM I can give you lessons, oh la la!!!
