Artémis Lyrics by Diamanda Galás

Saint of the Pit

1986

La Treizième revient... C'est encor la première
Et c'est toujours la seule, - ou c'est le seul moment
Car es-tu reine, ô toi ! la première ou dernière ?
Es-tu roi, toi le seul ou le dernier amant ?...
Aimez qui vous aima du berceau dans la bière
Celle que j'aimai seul m'aime encor tendrement
C'est la mort - ou la morte... Ô délice ! ô tourment !
La rose qu'elle tient, c'est la Rose trémière
Sainte napolitaine aux mains pleines de feux
Rose au cœur violet, fleur de sainte Gudule
As-tu trouvé ta croix dans le désert des cieux ?
Roses blanches, tombez ! vous insultez nos dieux
Tombez, fantômes blancs, de votre ciel qui brûle
- La sainte de l'abîme est plus sainte à mes yeux !
And she is still the only one, or is this the only moment;
For you are surely queen, first and last?
For you are surely king, O first and last lover?...
Love the one who loves you from the cradle to the grave;
The one alone I love loves me dearly still:
She is death - or the dead one... Delight or torment!
And the rose she holds is the hollyhock
Saint of Naples with your hands full of fire
Mauve-hearted rose, flower of Saint Gudule:
Have you discovered your cross in the desert of the skies?
White roses, fall! you offend our gods
