Madrigal triste

"...I love you most of all when joy

Flees from your oppressed brow,

When your heart is drowned in horror,

When the frightful cloud of the Past

Is spread out over your Present.

I know, your heart, overflowing

With old, uprooted loves,

Still blazes like a forge

And that there smolders in your breast

Something of the pride of the damned..."

Charles Baudelaire

"...Je t'aime quand ton grand oeil verse

Une eau chaude comme le sang;

Quand, malgré ma main qui te berce,

Ton angoisse, trop lourde, perce

Comme un râle d'agonisant.

Je sais que ton coeur, qui regorge

De vieux amours déracinés,

Flamboie encor comme une forge,

Et que tu couves sous ta gorge

Un peu de l'orgueil des damnés..."

Te amo cuando la alegria

muere en tu frente sombria

y el labio contraes callado

y envuelve tus ojos frìa

la nube gris del pasado

Ya se que tu corazòn

desierto, en la dispersiòn

de los amores pasados ,

arde en caliente igniciòn

como los hornos cerrados ..

ya se tu orgullo, pasion

de los grandes condenados

"Here is a little song I wrote

You might want to sing it note for note

Don't worry be happy

In every life we have some trouble

When you worry you make it double

Don't worry, be happy......

" - Bobby McFerrin
