Groch, Erik: Pain (Bolesť in English)

Portre of Groch, Erik

Bolesť (Slovak)

Bolesť má silu svetla, láska moja,
tvoju a moju tvár,
žiariace vo svetle ako diery.

Má tvár anjela,
tvojich a mojich detí,
láska moja,

ďaleko od lásky.


PublisherDruhá naivita

Pain (English)

Pain has the strength of light, my love,
your and my face,
shining in the light like holes.

It has the face of an angel,
of your and my children,
my love,

far away from love.
