Forgetting

Un homme se réveille au son de la pluieA man wakes up to the sound of rain
D'un rêve sur ses amantsFrom a dream about his lovers
Qui traversent sa chambre.Who pass through his room.

Ils passent légèrement, ces amants.They brush lightly by, these lovers.
Ils passent. Jamais en contact.They pass. Never touching.
Ces amants fugaces traversent sa chambre.These passing lovers move through his room.

L'homme est maintenant éveilléThe man is awake now
Il ne peut plus se rendormir.He can't get to sleep again.
Alors il répète ces motsSo he repeats these words
Encore et encore :Over and over again:
Courage. Gentillesse. Clarté.Bravery. Kindness. Clarity.
Honnêteté. Compassion. Générosité.Honesty. Compassion. Generosity.
Courage. Honnêteté. Dignité.Bravery. Honesty. Dignity.
Clarté. Gentillesse. Compassion.Clarity. Kindness. Compassion.
