Au mieux de ses racines
Le pin s'incline
et rompt

nous mourons tous perclus de liens invisibles
quand le vent nous appelle


At most granted by its roots
leans the pine and
gives way

we all die crippled by invisible bonds
when the wind calls us



English version 2

Yielding to its finest roots
the pine bows
and breaks away

we all die crippled by invisible bonds
when summoned by the wind

English version 2 by Nikki
:new: Miss :iconnaikki:

send me today her own version - I loved it. Published with her permission :rose:


:iconglory-be-project: - write one poetry per day!

Translation by me :skull:

Note - in french, I perfectly masters the absence of punctuation in regard of the rhythm. In the translation, I make a "copy-pasted" - but I'm not absolutely sure about the effect. Dont hesitate to tell me if it's inappropriate. Thx :)
