Nichita Stanescu – Song

Cântec
Din Necuvintele
de Nichita Stănescu

Echilibru, vertical, de suflet,
între guri cu colţi rânjiti
mai spre-o parte, mai spre-o alta
cu peretii răstigniti
Se dărâmă casa, o,
tu rămâi în echilibru
Acheronul pentru noi
s-a şi prefăcut în Tibru
Numai vârful tău, rotind,
taie cercuri, pe tavane,
suflet vertical şi trist
fără urme de ciolane.

Song
from The Unwords
by Nichita Stănescu

Vertical equilibrium, of the soul
between mouths with fangs, grinned
to this or other side
with walls sprawled
The house is falling, o,
you keep your balanced fiber
The Acheron for us
has turned into the Tiber
Only your sharp edge, spinning,
cuts circles, in the ceilings,
sad soul, so vertical
no trace of bones concealing.
