mon coeur bat trop fort
for you, feigning forever
l'amour qui est tienne
too much, too soon, too bad
tu as noircis mon sang
stained & shook with this fever
dont aucune pilule ne vient a bout

you're making your way into everything
I am pleased to present my first bilingual poetry collaboration with the multi-talented
:iconjulienpier:

he contributed the french lines
while I contributed in english

(please) check out his gallery!


translation:

my heart's beating too loud
for you, feigning forever
the love that's yours
too much, too soon, too bad
you've blackened my blood
stained & shook with this fever
which no pill can kill

you're making your way into everything

I feel pretty proud of myself for understanding most of the poem before reading the translation.

Yeah, I've never seen a bilingual poem before. Il est très interessant, because everything sounds better in French.
