Той се кле със страшни речи…

Он поклялся в строгом храме...

Той се кле със страшни речи
на Мадоната във храма,
че ще бъде верен вечно
на най-Праведната дама.

Ала после взе да пада,
и с порока да играе…
Бе веднъж заклан при свада
и след туй дойде пред рая.

„Ти ли се закле у храма —
Богородица му рече,
че на Праведната дама
ще й бъдеш верен вечно?

Мен лъжци не са ми скъпи,
да ги слушам аз не мога.
Който клетва е престъпил —
да не търси жал у Бога.“

„Прошка, прошка“ — викна само
той пред зейналите двери.
„Търсих Праведната дама —
никъде не я намерих!“

Yet All But Once

Yet all but once you’ll reminisce of me / And of my world mysterious and thrilling, / The quirky world of songs and fervency, / But among all, unique and undeceiving. / / It could have been yours also, but alas, / It was too much for you, or was too scanty, / I must have ...

Cain’s Descendants

He didn’t deceive us, that sad, somber spirit / Who wears the morning star as pseudonym / And said: "Shun not the highest gain, nor fear it: / Taste of the fruit and you will equal Him." / / Instantly, for the youth, all roads lay open, / And for old men, all mysteries to know, / ...

The Worker

He’s standing there, beside the glowing furnace, / A small man, probably older than you’d think. / His gaze is peaceful, seems almost submissive / From the way his reddened eyelids blink. / / All his workmates have knocked off - they’re sleeping / But he’s still ...

The Lost Tram

I was walking an obscure route / And abruptly I heard caws of crows, / A distant thunder and a tinkling lute: / A rushing tram was really close. / / How I leapt to its step / Is still a mystery to me. / It left a fiery track beyond itself / Which even in the daylight I could see. ...

The Word

That day when over world newborn / God would reveal his face / Sun could be stopped by word alone / Word could destroy a place / / Hawks dared not to strike their wings / The stars drew closer to the Moon / When as aurora in the skies / A word would drift along / / A number was...
