Translation by Wyatt Mason - Faun's Head (Alt. Trans.) lyrics

Within the leaves, this gilded bower, Within the leaves, uncertain and full Of blossoming blooms and drowsy kisses, The exquisite tapestry is suddenly shaken And a frightened faun flashes its eyes While biting red flowers between white teeth Browned and bloodied like old wine, lips Bursting with laughter beneath branches. And when he flees like a squirrel HIs laugh remains, beading on each leaf, And the Golden Kiss of the Woods, startled By a bullfinch, resolves once again to rest.
