Folles Nuits / Wild Nights

Folles Nuits — Folles Nuits !                                   Wild Nights — Wild Nights!
Si j'étais avec toi                                                      Were I with thee
De Folles Nuits seraient                                          Wild Nights should be
Notre volupté !                                                        Our luxury!

Futiles — les Vents —                                              Futile — the Winds —
Pour un Coeur au havre —                                      To a Heart in port —
Adieu Compas —                                                    Done with the Compass —
Adieu Carte !                                                           Done with the Chart!

Voguer dans l'Eden —                                             Rowing in Eden —
Ah, la Mer !                                                              Ah, the Sea!
Si je pouvais cette Nuit — jeter l'ancre —               Might I but moor — Tonight —
En Toi !                                                                     In Thee!

Emily Dickinson
