Parce Qu'elle Me Demandait Pourquoi Je L'aimais.(Translation) .

Rating: 5.0

Si poser des questions nous ferait sages
Pas de yeux ne regarderaient pas fixement aux yeux;
Si tout notre conte fut raconte en parole
Pas de bouches n'erreraient chacune a l'autre.


Si les esprits etaient liberes de la maille mortelle
Et l'amour n'etait lie aux coeurs de chair
Pas de seins douleureux ne languiraient a rencontrer
Trouver leur extase complete.

Car qui parmi nous vit et sait
Les pouvoirs secrets par lesquels il grandit?
Si la connaissance etait tout, que serait notre besoin
De frisonner et saigner doucement?

Alors ne cherche pas, ma cherie, le 'Si' et le 'Pourquoi'
Je t'aime maintenant jusqu'a ma mort.
Car je dois aimer parce que je suis vivant
Et la vie en moi est ce que tu donnes.

- 'Because She Would Ask Me Why I Loved Her'. Christopher J. Brennan

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
See Poem Hunter/C.J. Brennan/ poems/ 6/50.
Christopher Brennan was a prominent Australian poet in his time;
his poems still appeal. This quite an intense love poem, in which he seeks to answer his lady's question about why he loves her. He finds that the answer is more emotional 9 visceral) than rational (cerebral) . Why one person is attracted to another is a mystery to which we cannot know the answer. We do not know what the power is that makes us grow. We need ' To thrill and faint and sweetly bleed'.
He concludes definitely, 'I love you now until I die'.
COMMENTS OF THE POEM

If spirits were released from deadly stitches and love is given then no pain will be felt. Beauty of life will be felt as per strength of love. If asking questions would make us wise then eyes will remain very wise. An interesting poem is very beautifully penned is excellent poem. A nice translation is presented..10
