J'ai pour toi un lac

I have for you a lake somewhere in the world
A beautiful blue lake
Like an eye open on the deep night
A chilly crystal
That trembles at your name like a leaf trembles
In autumn breeze and winter song
Time is reflected there, my days are spent and gathered
Right side up, my nights upside down
I have for you, far away
A walk on soft sand
Thousands of steps without noise, without parade
Towards who knows where
And the fingers of the wind from entire seasons
Have drawn there, as on our foreheads
The waves of the day split by cruises
Of the beautiful shipwrecks we will make there
I have for you undone
But constantly remade the thousand castles
Of a friendly cloud that for my princess
Would become a boat
Would become an apple tree, would become a crown
Would become a basket full of crimson fruits
And I will be the one who gives you
The earth and the moon with the sun
I have for you love somewhere in the world
Do not let it get lost in the round.
