Peste Noire - Psaume IV

"Seigneur, voici couler sang de la patrie.
J'entends le bruit qu'il fait en tombant sur la terre, le bruit sourd de 5 ans de luttes ennemies de ces gouttes tombant du corps de tant de frères.
Seigneur, voici couler sang de notre race, sang du combat guerrier, sang des guerres civiles, sang des foyers noircis que quelques flammes effacent. Sang de ceux qu'on fusille aux fossés de nos villes.
Seigneur, voici couler sang de notre terre. Le sang qui a coulé n'est jamais qu'un sang pur, et le voici mêle au sang des adversaires, figé sur nos pavés comme un verglas plus dur.Peste Noire - Psaume IV - http://motolyrics.com/peste-noire/psaume-iv-lyrics-english-translation.html
Seigneur, voici couler sang de nos garçons. Il a tout recouvert la patrie déchiré.
Quand verrons nous jaillir tardive saison, de tout ce sang versé la moisson désiré?"

[De Robert Brasillach, in Poèmes de Fresnes.]

Peste Noire - Fourth Psalm (English translation)

" Lord , here is the blood of the nation flowing .
I hear the noise it makes while falling on the earth , the dumb sound of five years of ennemies' fights , of these drops falling down from the bodies of so many brothers .
Lord , here is the blood of our kind flowing , blood of warlike fight , blood of civile wars , blood of darkened homes that a few flammes erase . Blood of those that get shot in the pits of our towns .Peste Noire - Psaume IV - http://motolyrics.com/peste-noire/psaume-iv-lyrics-english-translation.html
Lord , here is the blood of our earth flowing . The blood that has flown is nothing but a pure blood , & here it is mixed with adversaries' blood , rooted in our cobblestones like the hardest ice .
Lord , here is the blood of our sons flowing . It has covered the whole torn nation .
Where will we see the late season gushing , the desired harvest from all this poured blood ? "

From Robert Brasillach , in " Poems from Fresnes " .
