Endelig Februar, ja februar kommer...


Triumfenes toner,
Hanen galer.
En vårsol vekker
Noe i oss...
Februar.

Litt sne vil vi se og
Kanskje også litt 
Gress som er vissent
Ikke brukbart til noe.

Ennå i kveld stjerneklart,
Fristene kaldt og ild i
Kvistene.

Ennå i natt kunne vi ane
Våren.
Men den kanskje forsvant igjen.
La oss håpe...

Storm !


Jeg er her,
fordi jeg skal lære stormen å kjenne.

Stormen som stråler over
fjord og land.

Jeg er her,
fordi det i Moss havn skal henne:
At ord kom smygende til meg fra
opprørt vann.

Spørsmål, spørsmål:
Hva gjør våre "kjære" politikere
med regninger fra opprørt hav av
meninger.

Ord, som i gammel motor
stønner:
Vi har hørt det før.

Hvem kan se mellom riktig og galt,
dom eller nåde ?
Ja, hvem ?

By the living light...


Out in the sky,
no one sleeps.
No one, no one.
No one sleeps.
Lunar creatures sniff and circle the dwellings.
Live iguanas will come to bite the men who
don't dream, and the broken-hearted fugitive
will meet on street corners an incredible crocodile
resting beneath the tender protest of the stars.

Out in the world, no one sleeps.
No one, no one.
No one sleeps.
there is a corps in the farthest graveyard
complaining for three years because of an arid
landscape in his knee;
and a boy to call the dogs to quiet him.

Life is no dream.
Watch out !
Watch out !
We fall down stairs and eat the moist earth,
or we climb to the snow's edge with the
choir of dead dahlias.
But there is no oblivion,
no dream:
raw flesh. 
Kisses tie mouths in a tangle of new veins
and those in pain will bear it with no respite
and those who are frighten by death will carry
it on their shoulders.

Out in the sky,
No one sleeps,
No one, no one.
No one sleeps.
But if someone closes his eyes,
whip him, my children, whip him !
Let there be a panorama of open eyes
and bitter inflamed wounds.
Out in the world,
no one sleeps.
No one.
No one.
I've said it before.
No one sleeps.
But at night,
if someone has too much moss
on his temples,
open the trapdoors so he can see
in moonlight the fake goblets,
the venom, and the skull of the
theatres.

.: Because your heart are ice---But your hate a flame...

.: Because your heart are ice---But your hate a flame...: Because in your sad life Hope finds nothing left, All your kindness gone And your faith bereft. Because you worshipped the gods ...

Because your heart are ice---But your hate a flame --- You are rabid dogs --- And your souls are lame.


Because in your sad life
Hope finds nothing left,
All your kindness gone
And your faith bereft.


Because you worshipped the gods
Of blood and revenge,
Because you washed the land
And made it strange.


Because you did all this
Because we died for you
In uncomplaining herds
It's time we said what's true:


In their safe routines
It's the old we condemn,
And on the council bench
The nodding aldermen.


We were young, we were fools
But will never understand
Why we were sent forever
To no-man's-land.



You were never like us
In the lover's lanes
With instinctive spring
Thrilling in our veins:


You were never like us
With an appetite
That a breath or a flower
Or the dawn could ignite.



We made living itself
Our bravery's boast,
We were the chosen few
Of the Holy Ghost.



But there's none have survived
The bayonet charge
Or the howling trench
Or the mortar barrage.


No, we are not like you -
The moth-eaten men -
For whom love has whispered
Its ultimate amen.


But today there's a smile
Where a curse had stung:
We are not like you.
We and I are forever young.

Du...
lyse kvinne på dagens vandring,

Hun...
går i panser av sol og silke.

Hun...
den formfullendte, 
og klart er blikket.

Hun...
som kanskje skjuler sine skatter.
Bak filler som smelter i solens skjær.

Hun...
hvor hjertet hvisker:
som i sin rustning kan overvinnes,
av lyses makt.

Hun...
i sin pansrede rustning, skal en
dag overvinnes.
Og falle ydmykt for en manns 
blikk !

La rosa no buscaba la rosa: inmóvil por el cielo, buscaba otra cosa


Del llanto

He cerrado mi balcón
porque no quiero oír el llanto,
pero por detrás de los grises muros
no se oye otra cosa que el llanto.

Hay muy pocos ángeles que canten,
hay muy pocos perros que ladren,
mil violines caben en la palma de mi mano.

Pero el llanto es un  perro inmenso,
el llanto es un violín inmenso,
las lagrimas amordazan al viento,
y no se oye otra cosa que el llanto.



Quasida of the Weeping.

I have closed off my balcony,
for I do not want to hear the weeping.
But out there, beyond gray walls,
nothing is heard but the weeping...

There are very few angels who sing.
There are very few dogs who bark.
A thousand violins fit in the palm of my hand.

But the weeping is an enormous dog,
the weeping is an enormous angel,
the weeping is an enormous violin,
tears have muzzled the wind,
and nothing is heard but the weeping
and the to days gun fight.

Nederlaget er som det visne gress--- Av den muld skal vi gro.


Hvem skal jeg takke
for det jeg fikk se sola 
gå ned.

Fjorden ble blå ?
Hvem skal jeg takke for
den æra,
I det å gå her
og være meg selv ?

For det blir nok vår igjen,
men den vår som gikk
kommer aldri tilbake.

Ever gliding to the sea, flow the water fair and free...



Ever gliding to the sea,
Flow the water fair and free
Of clear Mondego tranquil through the plain;
Anxious thoughts and growing care
Bound my youthful bosom there,
And slowly fix'd their ever-during reign.
Along the pleasant margin green,
Where now I mourn the alter'd scene,
First did my eyes a nymph behold
Brighter than snow, and pure as gold;
Sweet smiles serene; and grace so well display'd,
That from my heart its form will never fade.



Still beneath this weight of woe
Some fond thoughts of comfort grow,
Some cheering rays amid the darkness shine;
While in happier hours of youth
Love approved our constant truth,
Thy soul was calm, thy breast ne'er glow'd like...
The fatal hour, which bade us part,
Wounds not alike thy tender heart;
And light to me the pangs, I bear,
Compared with knowing thy despair;
My knell will be rung; thou, Lady, live,
And taste the joy, which youth and beauty give !

There is a charm in the loved maiden's sight; There is sweet pleasure in the calm blue sky, When nature smiles around... But dark nights come.


The dark imagination. 

The beaming sun may wake the dewy spring,
The flowers may smile, and the blithe greenwood ring;
Soft music's touch may pour love's sweetest lay,
And young hearts kindle in their hour of May:
But not for Amy shall life's vision glow;
One dark deep thought must on her bosom prey.
Her joys lie buried in the tomb below,
And from night's phantoms pale her deadly bliss
must flow.
And her face ...

Suitor,
Suitor of mine.
At your house they're burning thyme.

Come or go as you please,
I'll stay under lock and key.

A key made of fine silver.
On a ribbon for good measure.

On the ribbon words are written:
"My heart is not smitten"

Don't roam my street day and night.
Only the wind has the right.

Suitor.
suitor of mine.
At your house they're burning thyme.


Galan.
galancillo
En tu casa queman tomillo.

Ni que vayas, ni que vegas,
con llave cierro la puerta.

Con llave de plata fina.
Atada con una cinta.

En la cinta hay un letrero:
"Mi corazón esta lejos".

No des vueltas en mi calle.
; Déjasela toda al aire!

Galan.
galancillo.
En tu casa queman tomillo.

La mar no tiene naranjas,
ni Cascais tiene amor.
Morena, que luz de fuego.
Préstame tu quitasol.

Tus palabras-pececillos-

La mar no tiene naranjas.
Ay amor.

The sea has no oranges
Nor Cascais any love.
Dark girl, such fiery light !
Lend me your parasol.

- juice of lemon and lime.
It will turn my face green
Your words - little fish -
will swim roundabout.

The sea has no oranges.
Oh the pity, love.
Nor Cascais any love !

Let the world's sharpness like a clasping knife
Shut in upon itself and do no harm
In this close hand of Love, now soft and warm,
And let us hear no sound of human strife
After the click of the shutting. 
Life to life---
I lean upon thee, Dear, without alarm,
And feel as safe as guarded by a charm
Against the stab of worldlings, who is rife
Are weak to injure. 
Very whitely still the lilies of our lives may reassure
Their blossoms from their roots,
Accessible alone to heavenly dews that drop not fewer;
Growing straight, out of man's / woman's reach,
On the hill.
God only, who made us rich,
Can make us poor.

The face of all the world is changed,
I think,
Since first I heard the footsteps of they soul
Move still, oh, still, beside me,
as they stole betwixt me and the dreadful
outer brink of obvious death, where I,
who thought to sink,
Was caught up into love,
and taught the whole of life in a new rhythm.
The cup of dole God gave for baptism,
I am fine to drink,
And praise its sweetness, Sweet
with thee an-ear.
The name of country, heaven,
are changed away for where thou art or shalt be,
there or here;
And this... this lute and song... loved yesterday...
