I have heard that you met someone
I have heard that she's all I was not
And I hear that you are safe now, I wake up with the idea every day
And I hear that she is the rightful
Yes they say that you really mean it
And I hate that I love you
And I love you so much that I hate myself


And I am ashamed to ask and I am ashamed to cry
My heart is yours to destroy, let your friends know
And I am ashamed to say that you are left in me
Laugh about it, because then I might be the
How could you drop when she said, I love you, I love you so much that I hate myself


My friends say: 'Wake up
And stop thinking about it "
But what do they do? Now is anyone but me closer
Life before I could, inside and out
I could have had it so forever
But I fell for you and you deserved a nomination for the role you played


There will always be a place for you somewhere
You can close your eyes and never feel lonely
And all would be well now
They have been waiting for this
And I hate that I love you
And I love you so much that I hate myself


Once upon a time, there was a feast
And I went with someone because he reminded you
But then came the dawn, I rose, went out the door
And I went through the early morning
The pure, early morning


And I did not know why I did so
Oh, I did not know why

My Bohemian Life (.Fantasy)

I went off with my hands in my torn coat pockets;
My overcoat too was becoming ideal;
I travelled beneath the sky, Muse! and I was your vassal;
Oh dear me! what marvellous loves I dreamed of!

My only pair of breeches had a big whole in them.
– Stargazing Tom Thumb, I sowed rhymes along my way.
My tavern was at the Sign of the Great Bear.
– My stars in the sky rustled softly.

And I listened to them, sitting on the road-sides
On those pleasant September evenings while I felt drops
Of dew on my forehead like vigorous wine;

And while, rhyming among the fantastical shadows,
I plucked like the strings of a lyre the elastics
Of my tattered boots, one foot close to my heart!

by Arthur Rimbaud (1889.)

Le Coeur Supplicié

Le Coeur Supplicié

Mon triste coeur bave à la poupe,
Mon coeur est plein de caporal:
Ils y lancent des jets de soupe,
Mon triste coeur bave à la poupe:
Sous les quolibets de la troupe
Qui lance un rire general
Mon triste coeur bave à la poupe,
Mon coeur est plein de caporal!

Ithyphalliques et pioupiesques,
Leur insultes l'ont dépravé!
A la vesprée, ils font des fresques
Ithyphalliques et pioupiesques.
O flots abracadabrantesques
Prenez my coeur, qu'il soit sauvé
Ithyphalliques et pioupioupesques
Leur insultes l'ont depravé!

Quand ils auront tari leurs chiques,
Comment agir, ô coeur volé?
Ce seront des refrains bachiques:
Quand ils auront tari leurs chiques:
J'aurai des sursauts stomachiques,
Si mon triste coeur est ravalé:
Quand ils auront tari leurs chiques
Comment agir, ô coeur volé?


The Tortured Heart

My sad heart drools at the poop,
My heart full of tobacco juice:
They squirt on it their jets of soup,
My sad heart drools at the poop:
Beneath the jeers of the troop
Who burst forth with a general laugh
My sad heart drools at the poop,
My heart full of tobacco juice.

Standing phallic and soldierlike
Their insults have depraved it
At vespers they make frescoes
Standing phallic and soldierlike
O waves, abracadabrantesque
Take my heart, let it be saved
Standing phallic and soldierlike
Their insults have depraved it

When they've exhausted their quids,
How shall we act, o stolen heart?
There will be drinking songs
When they've exhausted their quids
My stomach will heave
If my sad heart is gobbled down
When they've exhausted their quids
How shall we act, o stolen heart?

Mai 1871. by Arthur Rimbaud
