It’s been a while, so I think it’s time to give you the second French poem today! It comes from my debut book ‘Once Upon a Time There Were Two Poetry Books…’. But in French that’s ‘Il était deux volumes de poésie…’.

I have a few pages of the translation already, and today I’d like to show you the first title from Vol. 1, Chapter 1. It’s called ‘The Read Called Life’!

But at first, the English version.

The Road Called Life

Who am I?

Everybody says their versions, but I don’t believe in them

While I go my way, I try to understand it

Is it a mistake?

Now I see how far I’ve come

I see the same world, but I…

I’m different?

I’m not a little grey mouse anymore

I’m not afraid of life

No more…

I remember the day that changed everything

Your hazel eyes on me

Why have you chosen me?

Your smile helped me to see…

See how beautiful the world is

Millions of colours

You made me feel beautiful

Today – I look in the mirror and…

I see what you see

I hear the most beautiful sound

That’s the music of our hearts – the same beat

The same rhythm

While I go my way – I see the light

The same as always, and forever

And that’s you…

Is it the end of my path? No…

Now we go together

The road called life

It doesn’t matter that the ocean tears us apart

Only you have the key to my heart

Is it love?

While I’m here, while I am where I’ve come

I beg you for only one thing –

Remember about me…

It’s a very important poem to me for so many reasons, as you already probably know!

Well… Now let me show you the French translation of it! When the whole translation is done, I will come back to these first pages again, of course. It’s important to check the manuscript as many times as possible! But also, if there is anything you need to say about this translation, please don’t hesitate to comment.

So, here it is!

Une route appelée la vie

Qui je suis?

Tous dit sa version, mais je n’y crois pas

En allant ma route, j’essaie de le comprendre

Est-ce une erreur ?

Maintenant je vois à quel point j’ai avancé

Je vois le même monde et je suis…

Différente ?

Je ne suis plus cette souris grise

Je n’ai plus peur de la vie

Plus jamais…

Je me souviens de ce jour qui a tout changé

Ton regard de noix sur moi

Pourquoi m’as-tu choisi ?

Ton sourire laisse-moi voir…

Voir à quel point le monde est beau

Millions de couleurs

Tu m’as fait sentir belle

Maintenant – en regardant dans le miroir

Je vois… Pareil que toi

J’entends la plus belle musique du monde

C’est battre de nos cœurs – comme unité

Même rythme

En allant ma route, je vois la lumière

La même que toujours

Mais c’est toi…

Est-ce la fin de mon route ? Non…

Maintenant, nous irons ensemble

Une route appelée la vie

Peu importe que nous soyons divisés par l’océan

Seulement tu as la clé de mon cœur

Est-ce de l’amour ?

Être où je suis aujourd’hui, où je suis venu

Je t’en supplie pour une chose, juste une chose

Souviens-toi de moi…
