József Attila: Sárga füvek

Portre of József Attila

Sárga füvek (Hungarian)

Sárga füvek a homokon

Csontos öreg nő ez a szél

A tócsa ideges barom

A tenger nyugodt, elbeszél

 

Dúdolom halk leltáromat

Hazám az eladott kabát

Buckákra omlott alkonyat

Nincs szivem folytatni tovább

 

Csillan a nyüzsögő idő

Korallszirtje, a holt világ

A nyirfa, a bérház, a nő

Az áramló kék égen át

Yellow Grass (English)

Yellow grass on the sand,

this wind is a bony, old woman,

the puddle is a nervous cow,

the sea is silent yet tells a tale.

 

I croon my soft inventory.

That peddled coat is my country;

dusk crumbles on the hill;

my heart lacks the will to go on.

 

The coral reef of swarming time,

the dead world, the birch,

the tenement, the woman sparkle

through the flowing blue sky.
