J'essuie les lames de tous tes fonds
I wipe the blades of all your depths
De fil en cave sans opinion
Thread by thread, without a voice
Je suis le lys que tu exportes
I am the lily that you export
In extrémis en porte-à-porte
In extremis, door to door
Dans les virages que tu m'empruntes
In the turns that you borrow from me
Je trace en large le trait d'Absinthe
I draw wide the line of Absinthe
Qui me remonte le long du nez
That runs back up my nose
En amont des cétacés
Upstream from the cetaceans
Je peins la langue bleu de Cézanne
I paint the tongue blue like Cézanne
Battées au fer rouge pivoine
Beaten with a red-hot iron, peony
Qui demande tout à l'envers
Who asks everything in reverse
Et je me doute que tu t'y perds
And I suspect you're getting lost in it
