YEATS, William Butler (1865–1923) : "Chanson à boire" (1916, trad. Patrick Thonart, 2023)

Par la bouche, on boit le vin
Et par les yeux, on boit l’amour ;
C’est là tout ce que nous appren­drons,
Avant de vieil­lir, avant de mourir.
Je porte le verre à ma bouche,
Je te regarde… et je soupire.

A Drinking Song

Wine comes in at the mouth
And love comes in at the eye;
That’s all we shall know for truth
Before we grow old and die.
I lift the glass to my mouth,
I look at you, and I sigh.
