Original french lines :
Le vin sait revêtir le plus sordide bouge
D'un luxe miraculeux,
Et fait surgir plus d'un portique fabuleux
Dans l'or de sa vapeur rouge,
Comme un soleil couchant dans un ciel nébuleux.

Translated by William Aggeler, The Flowers of Evil (Fresno, CA: Academy Library Guild, 1954)
Wine knows how to adorn the most sordid hovel
With marvelous luxury
And make more than one fabulous portal appear
In the gold of its red mist
Like a sun setting in a cloudy sky.
__________
Translated by Roy Campbell, Poems of Baudelaire (New York: Pantheon Books, 1952)
Wine can conceal a sordid room
In rich, miraculous disguise,
And make such porticoes arise
Out of its flushed and crimson fume
As makes the sunset in the skies.
______________
Translated by Lewis Piaget Shanks, Flowers of Evil (New York: Ives Washburn, 1931)
wine clothes the sordid walls of hovels old
with pomp no palace knows,
evokes long peristyles in pillared rows
from vaporous red and gold;
like sunset with her cloud-built porticoes.
