Illyés Gyula: Under November skies (Novemberi ég alatt in English)

Portre of Illyés Gyula
Portre of Kery, Leslie A.

Back to the translator

Novemberi ég alatt (Hungarian)

Rémülten egymás

Kezét keresve

Egymásba bukva

Futnak a hajszolt

Felhők — —

 

                —nékem

Ki mondja mitől

Kellene jaj futnom

Ha egyedűl is

 

Szálló könnyekkel

Sírja színét és

Tavaszi kedvét

S ég felé ijedten

Kapkod a cserfa.

 

1928

Under November skies (English)

Panicked and searching

For hands to hold and

Knocking each other

Hard-driven clouds are

Racing --

 

                                 -- alas

 

Who might just tell me

From what to run away

When I'm quite alone

 

With floating teardrops

Weeping for colour

And cheer of springtime

A frightened turkey-oak’s

Grabbing for the sky.
