Léopold Sedar Senghor (1906-2001) <<Jardinde France>>
Poèmes inedits, (1960)
Quiet garden
Calme Jardin
Grave garden
Grave Jardin
Garden with downcast eyes at the evening
Jardin aux yeux baissés au soir
For the night
Pour la nuit, Paris Sorrows and rumours
Peines et rumeurs,
All the rustling anxieties of the city
Toutes les angoisses bruissants de la Ville
Arrive at me, sliding on the smooth roofs
Arrivent jusqu’à moi, glissant sur les toits lisses
Arrive at the window
Arrivent à la fenêtre
Leaning, filtered by small and tender and pensive leaves
Penchée, tamisées par feuilles menues et tendres et pensives
White hands
Mains blanches,
Delicate gestures
Gestes délicats,
Gestes apaisants
Afrique Soothing gestures
But the call of the tam tam
Mais l‘appel du tam-tam
Leaping
bondissant
By mountains
par monts
And
et
Continents
continents,
Who will appease it, my heart,
Qui l’apaisera, mon cœur,
At the call of the tam-tam
A l’appel du tam-tam
Leaping
bondisant
Passionate
véhément,
Haunting
lacinant?
