Soleil de proie prisonnier de ma tête

Language: French (Français)

Our translations: ENG GER LIT

Soleil de proie prisonnier de ma tête
Enlève la colline, enlève la forêt.
Le ciel est plus beau que jamais.

Les libellules des raisins
Lui donnent des formes précises
Que je dissipe d'un geste.

Nuages du premier jour,
Nuages insensibles et que rien n'autorise,
Leurs graines brûlent
Dans les feux de paille de mes regards.

À la fin, pour se couvrir d'une aube
Il faudra que le ciel soit aussi pur que la nuit.

Chuanas Miro

Language: Lithuanian (Lietuvių kalba) after the French (Français)

Saulė plėšri, galvos manosios vergė,
Pašalino kalvas, pašalino miškus.
Kaip niekad žavingas dangus.

Čia vynuogėms drugelis
Suteikia preciziškas formas
Kurias vienu mostu išskaidau.

Debesys pirmadieniai,
Nejautrūs ir beprasmiai,
Jų sėmenys liepsnoja
Šiaudinėje ugny manų akių.

Pagaliau, kad aušra pasidengtų,
Dangus turi būt giedras, kaip naktį.
