D'autres larmes chaudes,
De ce corps seul,
Suintaient d'un ?il de marbre
D'un ?il fissuré
Fendu par la lumière,
Ô combien cruelle
De toute une vie passée,
A chercher l'obscurité
D'autres larmes chaudes,
De cet être oublié
Coulaient comme pour fuir
La mort venant
Telles des gouttes de pluie,
Fuyant l'orage,
Fuyant la foudre d'un dieu,
Certes, en colère,
Mais bien impuissant
Face au courage
D'un être usé par la vie
Les muscles se tendaient, se bloquaient
Sans nervosité aucune, comme s'ils savaient
Comme s'ils attendaient l'instant présent
Depuis de longs moments
Le sang prenait peur et se concentrait,
Auprès d'un c?ur sans regrets
Sans remords aucun
Auprès d'un c?ur
Oublié par la vie
Haïssant ce fluide, (ce sang)
Qui fait vivre les humains
L'?il de marbre brillait,
Malgré la tristesse de la scène
L'?il de marbre admirait,
Le miroir face à lui
Le reflet d'un corps qui le porta
Ces années durant
Oubliant la douleur infligée, la honte apportée
Fuyant le passé regretté , autant que l'avenir renié
[Translation]
[Tears of the One Despised]

Other warm tears,
This lone body's,
Were oozing from a marble eye
From a fissured eye
Cracked by the light
-Oh, how cruel !-
Of a whole life spent
Searching for darkness
Other warm tears,
This forgotten being's,
Were running as to flee
From the coming death
As drops of rain,
Fleeing from the storm,
Fleeing from the thunderbolt of a god,
Angry indeed,
But still powerless
Before the courage of a being
That life had worn away
Muscles were stretching, blocking
Without any nervousness, as if they knew
As if they had been waiting for this very moment
For a long time
Blood got scared and was concentrating
Around a regretless heart
Deprived of any remorse
Around a heart
That had been neglected by life
Hating that fluid -that blood-
Which makes humans live
The marble eye was sparkling,
Despite the sadness of the scene
The marble eye was admiring,
In front of the mirror
The reflection of a body that
Had carried him all these years
Forgetting the pain inflected, the shame brought
Fleeing from the regretted past
As much as from the denied future
