Insomnie

from Myckael Marcovic · host Myckael Marcovic

(English translation above) Insomnie La nuit, je surveille mon réveil Égrenant toutes ses minutes, Comme un marteau sans sommeil Cognant dans ma tête en tumulte. Quand je feins de l’ignorer Du plus respectueux dédain, Il revient me torturer, M’asticotant comme un pantin. Refrain : Et j’attends, Impatient, La sortie De cette nuit qui me nuit. Et j’attends, Impuissant, Qu’un somme nie Mon insomnie. Après cinq heures d’origamis Une heure avant que je me lève, D’un air ravi, il me sourit De m’avoir interdit de rêves. Au dehors, c’est la nuit noire. Aussi noire que ma nuit est blanche. Car je désespère de voir, En ce glaçon de femme, un ange. (refrain) Mais tout à coup, c’est le trou. Je me vois pendu à un’ branche, En partant, ell’ me fait « coucou ». Diablesse raffinée, mais franche ! En sueur, j’ouvre mes yeux. Noyé dans mon coussin de plumes, Palpitant, pâle, piteux, Ma tête n’est plus qu’une enclume. (refrain) Myckaël Marcovic, le 14 février 2018 Approximate translation : Insomnia At night I watch my alarm clock Grinding every minute of it, Like a sleepless hammer Banging in my head in a tumult. When I pretend to ignore it Of the most respectful disdain, He comes back to torture me, Jerking me around like a puppet. Chorus: And I’m waiting, Impatient, The exit Of that night that hurts me. And I’m waiting, Powerless, That a sum denies My insomnia. After five hours of origami An hour before I got up, He smiles at me with a happy face For keeping me from dreaming. It’s dark out there. As black as my night is white. For I despair to see, In this woman’s ice cube, an angel. (chorus) But all of a sudden, it’s the hole. I see myself hanging from a branch, As I leave, she says hello to me. Refined devil, but frank! When I’m sweating, I open my eyes. Drowned in my feather cushion, Throbbing, pale, pitiful, My head is just an anvil. (chorus) Myckaël Marcovic, February 14, 2018
