Toute ma vie j'ai suivi le méandre
All my life I have followed the meander
Qu'inconstant dessinait mon ruisseau
That inconstantly drew my stream
J'ai coulé mes jours à me répandre
I spent my days spreading myself
D'eau
Water
Une coquille de noix pouvait s'éprendre
A walnut shell could fall in love
D'une brindille ou d'un bébé roseau
From a twig or a baby reed
Étourdi par mon clapotis tendre
Stunned by my tender lapping
D'eau
Water
D'eau
Water
Le long des lisières
Along the edges
Aux flancs des coteaux
On the hillsides
En serpent de vert
In green snake
Offert aux oiseaux
Offered to birds
Descendu des alpages
Coming down from the mountain pastures
Une idée de rivage
An idea of the shore
C'est ainsi qu'au fil de la fortune
This is how, over the course of fortune
La rivière a changé mon ruisseau
The river changed my stream
Et dans l'onde où se baignaient mes lunes
And in the wave where my moons bathed
Maintenant s'y dégazent
Now they are degassing
Des cargos
Cargo ships
Quand à l'estuaire
As for the estuary
S'est vu mon ruisseau
Saw my stream
En rade à la mer
stranded at the sea
Grand frère de caniveau
Big brother in the gutter
J'ai taquiné les traves
I teased the transverses
Des courants qui déçoivent
Currents that disappoint
Du maquis que la rosée parfume
From the maquis that the dew perfumes
Tout le pré reboit dans mon ruisseau
The whole meadow is drinking again in my stream
À l'heure ou l'aurore emporte mes brumes
At the time when dawn takes away my mists
