Je partirai. Vois-tu, je sais que tu m&#8217;attends.
J&#8217;irai par la forêt, j&#8217;irai par la montagne.
Je ne puis demeurer loin de toi plus longtemps.
Je marcherai les yeux fixés sur mes pensées,
Sans rien voir au dehors, sans entendre aucun bruit,
Seul, inconnu, le dos courbé, les mains croisées,

I couldn’t bear to think what he’d been grazing upon.
