Pilinszky János: Your Hand, My Hand (Kezed, kezem in English)

Portre of Pilinszky János

Kezed, kezem (Hungarian)

Hová rejtsem kezeimet?
Anya, a te kezedet örököltem.
de királyságom, tudom, nem kivánod.

Lemondok hát,
leköszönök a trónról,
odahagyom a kéretlen hatalmat.

Itt a kezed. Ki vagyok fosztva.
Újra semmim sincs, édesanyám.

Your Hand, My Hand (English)

Where should I hide my hands?
Mother, I inherited my hands from you,
but you don’t want my kingdom, I’m sure.

So then, I’ll resign
from my throne,
I’ll leave behind that undesired power.

Here’s your hand. I’m robbed.
Once again, I’ve got nothing, Mom.
