French Poetry, pt. 11

Hello! I was a bit busy with my upcoming novel and new phone, but new French poetry just arrived today anyway! This month, it’s a little sneak peek of ‘ The Invasion of Angels’ in French!

Today I have one of my fave poems for you. It’s ‘Angel 2.0’! At first, the English version.

*

Angel 2.0

You had my blood on your hands

My wings were broken

It was a harmful fall from the heights…

*

But I decided to stand up and go on

I couldn’t fly, but I could walk…

I chose life. I chose happiness

*

Now I will learn to fly again

But I don’t want to do it alone

Half of your soul will always be here

*

Despite you crushing me down

I can’t not forgive you… It’s hard…

But happiness doesn’t exist without you

*

And now the French translation! How do you like it?

*

L’ange 2.0

Tu avais mon sang sur les mains

Les ailes étaient endommagées

Une chute douloureuse d’une hauteur…

*

Mais j’ai décidé de me relever et continuer

Je ne pouvais pas voler, mais je pouvais marcher…

J’ai choisi la vie. J’ai choisi le bonheur

*

Maintenant, je vais réapprendre à voler

Mais je ne veux pas faire ça sans toi

Une partie de ton âme sera toujours avec moi

*

Même si tu m’as brisé, je ne peux

M’empêcher de pardonner… Le pardon est un art…

Et le bonheur n’existe pas sans toi

*
