"Marine" is the closing song in the cycle "Spleens et Détresses", settings of poems by Verlaine. Performed by Corinne Orde and Jonathan Cohen.

TEXT: L'océan sonore / Palpite sous l'oeil / De la lune en deuil / Et palpite encore. / Tandis qu'un éclair / Brutal et sinistre / Fend le ciel de bistre / D'un long zigzag clair! / Et que chaque lame, / En bonds convulsifs / Parmi les récifs, / Va, vient, luit et clame! / Et qu'au firmament, / Où l'ouragan erre / Rugit le tonnerre / Formidablement.

TRANSLATION: The resonant ocean / Throbs under the eye / Of the grieving moon / And throbs still. / While a flash of lightning, / Brutal and sinister, / Splits apart the bistre sky / With a long and bright zigzag! / And each blade, / In convulsive leaps / Amid the reefs, / Comes and goes, glows and clamours! / And up to the firmament / Where the hurricane roams, / The thunder roars / Tremendously.
