love against  (l�amour contre)

love against (l�amour contre)

A Poem by Nico

 know you’ll be surprised now
yesterday I was still the old one
I replied with a bigger slam
to those that hit me hard
today I could point them out
love against...

 

I never want to judge
who can say what anger involves?
with love I would defy
every challenge
one meets in life
at least I would try...

 

love against those who'll betray it
love against stupidity
one should respond accordingly
and truly believe in it
love against the worst of the world...

 

I don’t know whether it can function
I wouldn’t swear
but if there's no other way
what can be done then...

 

if it's not possible to keep silent
then it's time to say what you think
and to shout in hate's face:
 which side are you?
there is need of love you know
and today more than ever...

 

love against those who'll betray it
together against aggression
to defend accordingly, at the
cost of staying alone
against the rest of the world...

 

love against those who don’t know
that you can free love from inside
in every sense... for you... 

 

                                    Version Francais

 

je sais que tu seras surprise
maintenant - seulement hier j’étais
ce que tu sais - à qui me touchait
gravement je répondais plus d’une
fois un coup - aujourd’hui peut-être
je leur pointerai - l’amour contre...

 

je ne veux jamais juger
qui peut dire, alors, ce qu’est le mal
mais devant chaque défi
qu’on rencontre dans la vie
j’irais l’affronter avec l’amour
du moins je tenterai...

 

l’amour contre celui qui le trahira
l’amour contre la stupidité
répondre en y croyant
jusqu’au fond
l’amour contre le pire du monde...

 

je ne sais pas si ça peut fonctionner
cela je ne le jurerais pas
mais s’il n’y pas une autre façon
que peut-on faire...

 

si on ne peut pas toujours se taire
dire ce que tu penses il le faut
un peu - pour crier dans la figure
de la haine - auquel côté tu es
il faut necessairement l’amour
et aujourd’hui plus que jamais...

 

l’amour contre celui qui le trahira
ensemble contre l’aggressivité
se défendre ainsi aux dépens de
rester seuls contre
le reste du monde...

 

l’amour contre celui qui ne sait pas
qu’on peut libérer l’amour de
l’intérieur de toute façon pour toi...

Very nicely written poem about love, even to those who may not deserve it. I love how you wrote it in French too (even though I can't speak a word of French!) It's still a nice touch. ^_^
