What is that beating sound?

J’ai Perdu Mon Couer

 

I kept all my childhood dreams

in the sweaty palms of my hands

and one after another they found a

regret and slipped

away.

 

Jeg Mistett mitt hjerte

 

J’ai garde tous les rêves

dans la paume de mes mains

moites et l’un après l’autre ils

ont trouvé un regret et tranquillement

glissé ****

 

I Lost My Heart

 

Jeg beholdt barndommen drommer

i  svett handflatene og etter hverandre

de fant anger go fled unna.

 

But that is not where I am.

I am a day dreamer

I am a dream chaser, all night long.

I am striding half empty

always to feel the joy, pouring

spilling over the edge of

my day into night. Running

down the sides of this vessel,

saturated with the pieces

of the dreams that stuck

to the sweat and in the pores

of these two hands of a man

that hide the child’s hands inside.

 

        De svarte skyene kjenner mitt navn

Yes, the black clouds know my name

        Les nuages noirs connaissent mon nom.

 

And I know the God that created this heart.

Je l’entends battre

Som Thors hammer

Using the keyboard to get the proper vowel and letter in language specific characters was hit and miss...sigh

Okay today was a translation poem, I could have tried Eng-Fr but I went Eng-Fr- Nor, and one line in one language lead into a verse of another, etc to you who are trained in translation, my apologies in advance, to those who are native to these languages, I hope I am close

if I am not shazbot nanu nanu
