The hippopotamus was dreaming. He dreamed that he lived a happy life full of love and enjoyment.
L'hippopotame rêvait. Il rêvait qu'il vivait une vie pleine d'amour et de joie. |
He was a quiet and generous hippopotamus, but he was a heavy hippopotamus.
C'était une brave bête d'hippopotame, plutôt gentil, - mais lourd ! |
He did not know that he was prisoner of a dream.
Il ne savait pas qu'il était prisonnier d'un rêve. |
He was dreaming that a girl was in love with him.
Il rêvait qu'on l'aimait. |
He did not understand that she loved only herself.
Il n'avait pas compris que l'autre n'aimait que lui-même. |
Oh, she was not guilty ! It's a frequent matter !
Oh, ce n'était pas de sa faute ! C'est là chose courante ! |
Because they love only themselves, they want that everybody looks like them ...
Comme ils n'aiment seulement que leur propre personne, les autres voudraient qu'on leur ressemble ... |
... and if you don't look like them, they don't love you any more.
... et si vous ne leur ressemblez pas, ils ne vous aiment plus. |
The sky became outlandish. Le ciel est devenu bizarre.
|
The mountain was growling. La montagne a grondé.
|
The sky tore ... Le ciel s'est déchiré ...
|
... over the faded cities. - au-dessus des villes éteintes.
|
A tsunami gobbed up every thing. Un tsunami a tout englouti.
|
The water was blowing up ... L'eau a explosé ...
|
... and the fire spattering. - ... et le feu a giclé.
|
The hippopotamus thought to have a solid skin ...
L'hippopotame croyait avoir la peau solide ... |
... as a shell. - ... comme une cuirasse.
|
Nethertheless he was mortally wounded.
Mais il était blessé à mort. |
Seuls quelques fragments de son coeur flottaient encore dans l'eau noire ...
|
Only some fragments of his heart were still floating in the black water ...
