OriginalTraduzione inglese da “I Never Saw Another Butterfly”, antologia...
MOTÝLTHE BUTTERFLY
Ten poslední ten zcela poslední
tak sytě hořce oslnivě žlutý
snad kdyby slunce slzou zazvonilo o bílý kámen
taková taková žluť
vznášel se lehce tak do vysoka
šel jistě jistě chtěl políbit svět svůj poslední
The last, the very last,
So richly, brightly, dazzlingly yellow.
Perhaps if the sun's tears would sing
against a white stone. . . .
Such, such a yellow
Is carried lightly 'way up high.
It went away I'm sure because it wished to
kiss the world good-bye.
na sedmý týden tu žiji
ghettoisiert
mí mě tu našli
pampelišky tu na mne volají
i bílá větev v dvoře kaštanu
motýla jsem tu neviděl
For seven weeks I've lived in here,
Penned up inside this ghetto.
But I have found what I love here.
The dandelions call to me
And the white chestnut branches in the court.
Only I never saw another butterfly.
ten tenkrát byl poslední
motýli tady nežijí
v ghettu.
That butterfly was the last one.
Butterflies don't live in here,
in the ghetto.
