Poems in spoken language. Poems by Jacques Prévert. Translated by Sigurður Pálsson.



The Prisoner's Song



Where are you going, you snobby prison guard?

With this key driven by blood

I'm going to release the prisoner.

The one I love

If it's not too late

The one I locked up

Gently cruelly

In the most secret recesses of my passion and desire

In the depths of torment

In the foolishness of hot strings

I'm going to release her from custody.

I want her to be free.

And forget me even

And even go away

And even come back

And love me again

Or love someone else

And if I'm alone

And she's gone.

Then it is the only

The only thing I will always have

In both palms of the hands

In memory of the last moment

The softness of her breasts shaped by love.
