cântec de iarnă

Eşti atât de frumoasă, iarna!
Câmpul întins pe spate, lângă orizont,
şi copacii opriţi, din fuga crivăţului…
Îmi tremură nările
şi nici o mireasmă,
şi nici o boare,
doar mirosul îndepărtat, de gheaţă,
al sorilor.
Ce limpezi sunt mâinile tale, iarna!
Şi nu trece nimeni
doar sorii albi se rotesc liniştit, idolatru
şi gândul creşte-n ceruri
sonorizând copacii
câte doi,
câte patru.

You are so beautiful in winter!
The field stretched on its back, near the horizon,
and the trees stopped running from the winter wind ...
My nostrils tremble
and no scent
and no breeze
only the distant, icy smell
of the suns.
How transparent your hands are in winter!
And no one passes -
only the white suns revolve in quiet worship.
and the thought spreads in circles
ringing the trees
in twos
in fours.

Nichita Stănescu

sketch

Like the tree that
through its blossom
dies
I too my love
sing your name
unknown
untouched
in tears
I sing on the hills my love
your name
blossoming
and dying
like a tree
defeated by springs prayer

Lucian Avramescu

you who never arrived

   a  J.
                                                                    
You who never arrived

in my arms, Beloved, who were lost
from the start,
I don't even know what songs
would please you. I have given up trying
to recognize you in the surging wave of
the next moment. All the immense
images in me -- the far-off, deeply-felt landscape,
cities, towers, and bridges, and un-
suspected turns in the path,
and those powerful lands that were once
pulsing with the life of the gods--
all rise within me to mean
you, who forever elude me.

You, Beloved, who are all
the gardens I have ever gazed at,
longing. An open window
in a country house-- , and you almost
stepped out, pensive, to meet me. Streets that I chanced
upon,--
you had just walked down them and vanished.
And sometimes, in a shop, the mirrors
were still dizzy with your presence and, startled, gave back
my too-sudden image. Who knows? Perhaps the same
bird echoed through both of us
yesterday, separate, in the evening...

Rainer Maria Rilke

jestem Julią

Soy Juliet

Tengo 23 años

Una vez toqué el amor

tuvo sabor amargo

de café negro

aumentó

el ritmo del corazón

irritó mi cuerpo vivo

meció mis sentidos

se fue

Soy Juliet

en el balcón alto

suspendida

grito vuelve

llamo vuelve

pinto los labios apretados

con el color de la sangre

no volvió

Soy Juliet

Tengo mil años

estoy viva -

dejeuner du matin

Echó café En la taza Echó leche En la taza de café Echó azúcar En el café con leche Con la cucharilla Lo revolvió Bebió el café con leche Dejó la taza Sin hablarme Encendió un cigarrillo Hizo anillos De humo Volvió la ceniza En el cenicero Sin hablarme Sin mirarme Se puso de pie Se puso El sombrero Se puso El impermeable Porque llovía Y se marchó Bajo la lluvia Sin decir palabra Sin mirarme Y me cubrí La cara con las manos Y lloré.

Jacques Prévert
