Irrémédiable vie
Language: French (Français)
Our translations: ENG GER LIT
Irrémédiable vie
Vie à toujours chérir
En dépit des fléaux
Et des morales basses
En dépit des étoiles fausses
Et des cendres envahissantes
En dépit des fièvres grinçantes
Des crimes à hauteur du ventre
Des seins taris des fronts idiots
En dépit des soleils mortels
En dépit des dieux morts
En dépit des mensonges
L'aube l'horizon l'eau
L'oiseau l'homme l'amour
L'homme léger et bon
Adoucissant la terre
Éclaircissant les bois
Illuminant la pierre
Et la rose nocturne
Et le sang de la foule.

Žakas Vijonas
Language: Lithuanian (Lietuvių kalba) after the French (Français)
Negydoma būtis,
Ji visada brangi.
Nepaisant negandų
Ir smukdančios moralės,
Nei netikrų žvaigždžių,
Ar pelenų griūties,
Nepaisant griaužiančios karštinės,
Nusikaltimų kruvinų,
Kvailai išdžiūvusios krūtinės,
Ar saulių mirtinų,
Nepaisant mirusių dievų
Nepaisant pikto melo
Aušros, platybių, vandenų,
Žmonių, paukštelių, meilės.
Žmogus, kurs geras ir šviesus
Sušvelnins žemę kietą,
Nuskaidrina jisai medžius
Ir akmenis apšviečia,
Ir rožę iš nakties tamsios,
Ir kraują verdantį minios.
