La tribu proph tique aux prunelles ardentesA
Hier s'est mise en route emportant ses petitsA
Sur son dos ou livrant leurs fiers app titsA
Le tr sor toujours pr t des mamelles pendantesA
-
Les hommes vont pied sous leurs armes luisantesA
Le long des chariots o les leurs sont blottisA
Promenant sur le ciel des yeux appesantisA
Par le morne regret des chim res absentesA
-
Du fond de son r duit sablonneux le grillonB
Les regardant passer redouble sa chansonB
Cyb le qui les aime augmente ses verduresA
-
Fait couler le rocher et fleurir le d sertC
Devant ces voyageurs pour lesquels est ouvertC
L'empire familier des t n bres futuresA
-
Gypsies TravelingD
-
The prophetical tribe that ardent eyed peopleE
Set out last night carrying their childrenB
On their backs or yielding to those fierce appetitesA
The ever ready treasure of pendulous breastsA
-
The men travel on foot with their gleaming weaponsA
Alongside the wagons where their kin are huddledC
Surveying the heavens with eyes rendered heavyF
By a mournful regret for vanished illusionsA
-
The cricket from the depths of his sandy retreatC
Watches them as they pass and louder grows his songG
Cybele who loves them increases her verdureH
-
Makes the desert blossom water spurt from the rockI
Before these travelers for whom is opened wideC
The familiar domain of the future's darknessA

-
Gipsies on the RoadC
-
The tribe of seers last night began its matchJ
With burning eyes and shouldering its youngK
To whose ferocious appetites it swungK
The wealth of hanging breasts that nought can parchL
-
The men their weapons glinting in the raysA
Walk by the convoy where their folks are cartedC
Sweeping the far off skylines with a gazeA
Regretful of Chimeras long departedC
-
Out of his hole the cricket sees them passA
And sings the louder Greener grows the grassA
Because Cybele loves them and has madeC
-
The barren rock to gush the sands to flowerH
To greet these travellers before whose powerH
Familiar futures open realms of shadeC
-

Translated by Roy CampbellE
-
The GypsiesA
-
They set out yesterday the tribe of ragged seersA
With burning eyes bearing their little ones in nestsA
Upon their backs or giving them to stop their tearsA
The teats of inexhaustible and swarthy breastsA
-
The men walk shouldering their rifles silentlyF
Beside the hooded wagons with bright tatters hungK
And peer into the sky as if they hoped to seeF
Some old mirage that beckoned them when they were youngK
-
No matter where they journey through the meager landC
The cricket will sing louder from his lair of sandC
And Cybele who loves them will smile where they advanceA
-
The desert will be fruitful the arid rock will flowM
Before the footsteps of these wayfarers who goM
Eternally into the lightless realm of chanceA
-

Translated by George DillonB

-
Travelling BohemiansA
-
The prophetic tribe of the ardent eyesA
Yesterday they took the road holding their babiesA
On their backs delivering to fierce appetitesA
The always ready treasure of pendulous breastsA
-
The men stick their feet out waving their gunsA
Alongside the caravan where they tremble togetherH
Scanning the sky their eyes are weighted downB
In mourning for absent chimerasA
-
At the bottom of his sandy retreat a cricketC
Watched passing redoubles his songG
Cybele who loves adds more flowerH
-
Makes fountains out of rock and blossoms from desertC
Opening up before these travelers in a yawnB
A familiar empire the inscrutable futureH
