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 Date: 5/23/2015 8:02:00 AM Your lovely poem has depth that goes beyond words. Magnifique! Login to Reply Etienne Lariviere Date: 5/29/2015 12:03:00 PM You are so kind Connie, I hope my email makes you smile!!! :) Merci

Mario De Paz Date: 4/28/2015 12:12:00 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 Login to Reply Etienne Lariviere Date: 5/3/2015 1:55:00 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 Date: 4/28/2015 10:18:00 AM I like the repetition. It emphasizes the poignancy of the scene. Makes me regret not taking up French as Elective, though :( Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 5/3/2015 1:59:00 PM Oh Etienne you are so kind my friend!
