Traduction approximative. The Hunter

It was 5:00 a.m. , we were moving forward into the marsh covered with mist.
I had my rifle in my hands; far away, a sparrow was gaining altitude. The dogs were walking quickly into the reeds.
Suddenly, I saw the wild geese flying by above the pond. They were flying South, towards the Mediterranean Sea. A flock of sparrows was flying up into the clouds over the fields. The forest was singing, the sun was shining through the marshes
With my rifle in my hand, I felt a little bit guilty, inside of me. So I left alone. I took a stroll with my spaniel. I looked (was looking) at the blue sky and I felt good.

Le chasseur

Il (être) cinq heures du matin; on (avancer) dans les marées couverts de brume.
J' (avoir) mon fusil dans les mains; un passereau (prendre) au loin de l'altitude. Les chiens pressés (marcher) devant, dans les roseaux.
Par dessus l'étang, soudain j' (voir) passer les oies sauvages; elles (s'en aller) vers le midi, la Méditerranée. Un vol de perdreaux, par dessus les champs, (monter) dans les nuages. La forêt (chanter), le soleil (briller) au bout des marécages.
Avec mon fusil dans les mains, au fond de moi, je (se sentir) un peu coupable, alors je (partir) tout seul, j' (prendre) mon épagneul en promenade, je (regarder) le bleu du ciel et j' (être) bien.
