Jeremiah 's Song - Το Τραγούδι Του Ιερεμία

Rating: 5.0


Gone! Gone!

My words once again

My clothes disgust me

Dust, dust covers me

I walk smiling

Then who's the one crying?

I have the shadow of the wolf

The mind of a jackal

And the heart of a stray dog

To stay

Means to die

So, what signals life?

Fight! Fight!

The inevitable that is coming!

Have mercy! Take pity!

On the one buried in this road

Great serpent of darkness

When did you nest

In my soul

I've lost you! I've lost you!

Did you ever look for me?





Χάθηκαν! Χάθηκαν!

Οι λέξεις μου ξανά

Τα ρούχα μου με αηδιάζουν

Σκόνη, σκόνη με σκεπάζει

Περπατώ χαμογελώντας

Μα ποιοςκλαίει τότε;

Λύκου έχω σκιά

Τσακαλιού μυαλό

Και καρδιά σκύλου αδέσποτου

Να μένεις

Σημαίνει να πεθαίνεις

Και τι σημαίνει να ζεις;

Πολέμησε! Πολέμησε!

Το αναπόφευκτο που θα'ρθει!

Ελέησε! Σπλαχνίσου!

Αυτόν που στο δρόμο θάφτηκε

Μεγάλο φίδι του σκότους

Πότε τη ψυχή μου

Έκανες φωλιά σου;

Σ'έχασα! Σ'έχασα!

Με έψαξες ποτέ;

This is one of your poems that my soul seems to understand, though I read through a veil. Captivating write.
