Quand une porte se ferme,
Il faut en ouvrir une autre,
Peu importe où,
Dans le désert ou dans les fêtes galantes,
Dans la vertu des fleurs ou celle du soleil,
Dans les pots de confitures inventées,

Ou dans le chant fracassant des cigales,
Dans les yeux vacillants d’une femme,
Dans les pluies lumineuses du chagrin,
Ouvrir son cœur, pour quelques temps, quelques jours,

Ouvrir les aurores,
Être entêté comme le brin d’herbe
Qui rugit dans les coffres de béton,
Comme au cœur des discours raisonnables,

Ouvrir, ouvrir, ouvrir une autre porte,
Dans l’urgence du mois de mai ensoleillé,
Dans la nuit sauvage aux harnais tendus,
Ouvrir une porte pour se tromper encore.

soory for translation, i used a Site

When a door closes,
It is necessary to open an other one,
No matter where,
In the desert or in the courteous parties,
In the virtue of flowers or that of the sun,
In the jars of invented jam,

Or in the singing of smashing cicadas,
In the unstable eyes of a woman,
In the bright rains of the sorrow,
Open his heart, for some times, for a few days,

Open the dawns,
Be stubborn as the blade of grass
Which pops in concrete safes,
As in the heart of the reasonable speeches,

Open, open, to open an other one door,
In the urgency of sunny May,
At night savage in the tense harnesses,
Open a door to make another mistake still.

Yann,
This is great! The translator doesn't do it justice but you get the drift. Have to admit I had to smile where the translator missed the meaning. It did give an extra quality to the poem having to fill in the "blanks". but I wouldn't want you do use it all the time. ~L
