Štrasser, Ján: Famous blue raincoat (Famous blue raincoat Angol nyelven)

V mojej šálke sa utopil cukor,
v tvojej zhasol med. Čaj zosmutnel.
Mlčíš. Hovorím.
Drž sa a netráp ma.

V prítmí sa chúlia k sebe
tvoje vyľakané kolená.
Z obrazovky siahajú po nás
cudzí ľudia. Do izby
mrholí Cohen, my brother,
my killer. Hovorím.

Drž ma a netráp sa.
Bojím sa s tebou,
aby si sa tak nebála.

In my cup the sugar drowned,
in yours the honey quenched. The tea turned wistful.
You're hushed. I speak.
Hold up and don't worry me.
Your startled knees
huddle together in dusk.
Foreign people reach for us
from the screen. Drizzling
into the room is Cohen, my brother,
my killer. I speak.
Hold me and don't worry.
I'm afraid with you.
