Le Reproche
Les Discrets
The Reproach
What! You have my life with all my face
And my body that is mute
And shivers all from the gift and the use
That you have of it!
What! Your greedy mouth has breathed my mouth
And I was in your hands
The one who lives and sighs and whose
Soft belly and breasts are touched!
You have seen my fear, my pain, and my weakness
What do I say?
And my desire
And you have felt under my smooth chest
My heart beat loudly
And all this anguish, alas!
With delight
That I felt from you!
You have seen my fear, my pain, and my weakness
What do I say?
And my desire
And its redness, its madness, and its baseness
In the face of pleasure
You have had my body, my heart, and my face
You know, arrogant
That it is on your dear and fearsome image
That my eyes close
You have contemplated me annihilated and one from the neck to the toe
Pleading thus for the dawn to return
To stop this sun
You have seen my fear, my pain, and my weakness
What do I say?
And my desire
You have had my body, my heart, and my face
You know
That it is on your dear and fearsome image
That my eyes close
