Bäume / Trees / Copaci Poem by Magdalena Biela

(für Ludvík Kundera)


Die Johannisbrotbäume immer,
die ich nicht kenn,
oder Magnolien,
ich kenne sie gut:
in die Frühzeit und
in die Zeiten bald.
Immer dies Bild, dieses Schauen,
das vergessen,
wär Tod.

TREES

(to Ludvík Kundera)

The carob trees always,
I don't know,
or magnolias,
I know them well:
in the early days
in the days of now.
Always this image, this looking,
To forget that
would be death.

COPACII

(pentru Ludvík Kundera)

Întotdeauna roscovii,
pe care nu ii știu,
sau magnoliile,
le cunosc bine:
in zilele de inceput
si in zilele de acum.
Întotdeauna această imagine, această privire,
A le uita
ar fi moartea.

PUUT

(Ludvík Kunderalle)

Johanneksenleipäpuut aina,
joita en tunne,
tai magnoliat,
ne tunnen hyvin:
alkuaikoina ja
pian tulevina aikoina.
Aina tämä kuva, tämä katsominen,
Niiden unohtaminen
olisi kuolema.
