The Less I See Her by Darius Milhaud

The Less I See Her by Darius Milhaud

The less I see her, the more I hate her; 
The more I hate her, the less she angers me. 
The more I esteem her, the less I notice her; 
The more I flee from her, the more I want her to hold on to me. 
     At once, two different arrows are shot at me: 
Love and hate, boredom along with pleasure. 
     Strong is the love that comes then to seize me 
When hate comes and vengeance cries out to me; 
Thus my vain desire makes me hate 
Her for whom my heart still beseeches me.
