Algues brunes ou rouges
Brown or red algae
Dessous la vague bougent
Below the wave are moving
Les goémons
The seaweeds
Mes amours leur ressemblent
My loves look like them
Il n'en reste il me semble
It seems to me that there are none left
Que goémons
What seaweed
Que des fleurs arrachées
Only torn flowers
Se mourant comme les
Dying like the
Noirs goémons
Black seaweed
Que l'on prend, que l'on jette
That we take, that we throw away
Comme la mer rejette
As the sea rejects

The seaweeds
Mes blessures revivent
My wounds come back
À la danse lascive
To the lascivious dance

Et le goût et l'odeur
And the taste and the smell

Je pris son innocence

À la sourde cadence
At a dull cadence
Des goémons
Seaweed
Algues brunes ou rouges

Que des fleurs arrachées
Only torn flowers
Se mourant comme les
Dying like the
Noirs goémons
Black seaweed
Que l'on prend, que l'on jette
That we take, that we throw away
