It must have been the spirits that I drank last night,
it must have been that I was drowsing, I'd been tired all day long.
The black wooden column vanished before me,
with the ancient head; and the dining-room door,
and the armchair, the red one; and the little settee.
In their place came a street in Marseille.
And freed now, unabashed, my soul
appeared there once again and moved about,
along with the form of a sensitive, pleasure-bent youth--
the dissolute youth: that too must be said.
It must have been the spirits that I drank last night,
it mast have been that I was drowsing, I'd been tired all day long.
My soul was released; the poor thing, it's
always constrained by the weight of the years.
My soul was released and it showed me
a sympathique street in Marseille,
with the form of the happy, dissolute youth
who never felt ashamed, not he, certainly.
