(française version)
Miss Cat se meurt. Miss Cat va mourir.
Cet après-midi, je la regardais. Sur le tapis du bureau, la tête renversée,
elle dormait, l'oeil ouvert, rêvant peut-être. A je ne sais quel paradis des
chats.
J'ai sorti le triple cd 8-10 de son coffret noir, l'ai ouvert, puis
choisi le "disc ten". Le titre 14. Une session des 3 & 4 mars 1959. Ray Ellis.
Un solo de Romeo Penque. Lady Day. Cinquante ans, à une année et quelques jours
près.
Miss Cat se meurt. Miss Cat va mourir et je n'ai pas envie de rire.
(englikhtonian version)
Miss Cat is dying. Miss Cat is going to die.
In the afternoon, I looked at her. On the carpet of the study, her head overturned,
she was asleep, eyes opened, maybe was she dreaming. In an "I do not know which" paradise for
cats.
I took out the triple cd 8-10 of its black box, opened it, and then chose "disc ten."
Track 14. A session of March 3rd & 4th, 1959. Ray Ellis. Romeo Penque's solo. Lady Day.
Fifty years, one year and a few near days around.
Miss Cat is dying. Miss Cat is going to die and I do not want to laugh.
