Silence... - Σιωπή... Poem by Kostas Lagos

Silence... - Σιωπή...

Rating: 5.0


Silence seems the most

difficult achievement

Generals barricaded

in their fortresses

are shouting "charge"!

And I'm lost

Enemies long forgotten

are awake, surrounding me

Before I die, I'm already dead

so twice I'll die

A mad pilgrim from the East

haunts me, draws me to his insanity

I have no weapons

no will to fight

All I want is silence...

Silence...



Η σιωπή φαίνεται

το πιο δύσκολο επίτευγμα

Στρατηγοί ταμπουρωμένοι

στα φρούρια τους

φωνάζουν "Έφοδος"!

Και είμαι χαμένος

Εχθροί απόκαιρό ξεχασμένοι

ξύπνησαν, με περικυκλώνουν

Πριν πεθάνω, ήδη νεκρός είμαι

κι έτσι θα πεθάνω δυο φορές

Ένας τρελός προσκυνητής από την Ανατολή

με στοιχειώνει, με τραβά στην παραφροσύνη του

Δεν έχω όπλα

ούτε θέληση να πολεμήσω

Το μόνο που θέλω είναι η σιωπή...

Σιωπή...

Silence there in the heart of listening much which sounding inside gracefully
