Assise sur le banc
du bac de Gouderak
elle atteint soudainement
pour son vélo glissant.
Par accident elle me
donne un coup de pied.
Puis un regard
de véritable regret
Aucune traversée
est assez longue pour
oublier cet oeillade
bien affectionnée.
Le navire arrive au quai.
La rampe est ouverte.
Elle s'éclipse le long de la digue —
mes émotions fraîches
toujours inconnus.

I've been to Bangkok, Barcelona, and Bordeaux
Beijing, Biloxi, Edinborough
I probed Pakistan, Poland, Portugal
Yet I'm primarily provincial
But what province, I don't know

Sitting on a bench
of the ferry in Vianen
she rashly reaches for her
slipping bicycle.
Her foot accidentally
kicks mine.
A sincere
look of sorry.
No stream is
wide enough
to forget her
tender eyes.
The ferry docks.
The ramp is free again.
She disappears along the **** —
my fresh emotions
forever
unfound.

So you want to be free?
Free of work that s u c k s maybe
Free of bosses, stresses, rivalry
Free of obligations, of dependency
And the tax collecting agency
Now do you really want to flee
From your loved ones, from good company?
The choice to support your family?
Perhaps freedom is a fantasy
A friendlier form of slavery

High in the mountains of Switzerland
refrain: Yodelayheeho, yodelayheehey
I found a man I can't withstand
refr.
He is a big cheese in der Schweiz
refr.
Produces Emmental with eyes
refr.
Amidst our stroll he urges me
refr.
You soon must meet my family
refr.
The nicest kids you've ever seen
refr.
I have a bunch of seventeen
refr.
I think potentially of a score
refr.
So I would love a couple more
refr.
Thus caught out in naïveté
refr.
I answered him without delay
refr.
I'd love a bunch of any size
refr.
But hesitate on cheese with eyes
refr.
You gave me eyes, but I confess
refr.
Not every girl is a cheese princess
refr.
I hence went quietly my way
refr.
And have kept silent from that day
refr.
I do not want that this surprise
refr.
Will be known im ganzen Schweiz
refrain: Yodelayheehey, yodelayheeho!

However much you do or say
Happiness may stay a dream away
And as most will understand
even eternal love comes to an end
Through either death or through decay

J.M.Keynes –
In the long run
we are all dead
A.Henslo –
Ceteris paribus
we would live forever

A sudden whirlwind
shatters the cherry blossoms
It touches my soul

These lines from which I do part
May have a fresh and fertile start
Through reading, reciting
Unraveling their writing
In the public library of art
Revisiting that shared ground
Weighing the words I rhymed
I take a voyage in my mind
Wishing that this time around
A forgotten answer may be found

Elle me toise
sans ironie, sans frivolité –
la garçonne
