Beowulf Or Not

When the light struck at the proper angle, 

You saw it in the corner of your eye:

The missing story you were passing by,

The turn of wheel that you never wrangle. 


You knew it since the day of your first cry

That stories end and sometimes disentangle 

From other people life and yet you try

To tell yours with a voice which is not strangled.


It doesn't matter if you name Beowulf 

The one who carries death as final target,  

If dragon can be changed into a wolf 

Which is named Fenrir by the mythic argot.


Don't let the others know that it's your sorrow 

That you are chanting, painting in your art.  

Just say you're only doing a small part

As everyone who still wants a Tomorrow.




Quand la lumière frappa au bon angle, 

Tu la vis du coin de l'œil : 

L'histoire manquante que tu croisais, 

Le tour de roue que tu ne maîtrisais jamais. 


Tu le savais depuis ton premier cri, 

Que les histoires ont une fin et parfois se démêlent

De la vie des autres, et pourtant tu essayes  

De raconter la tienne d'une voix qui ne s'étrangle pas. 


Peu importe que tu appelles Beowulf, 

Celui qui porte la mort comme cible finale, 

Si le dragon peut se transformer en loup, 

Que l'argot mythique appelle Fenrir.


Ne laisse pas les autres savoir que c'est ta tristesse, 

Que tu chantes, que tu peins dans ton art.  

Dis juste que tu n'en fais qu'une petite partie, 

Comme tous ceux qui aspirent encore à un lendemain.
