Fire and Ice

Some say the world will end in fire;
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

Incalzirea globala

Bai, deci,
Tot zic astia cu incalzirea
C-o sa murim, toti,
In special stra-stra-stra-nepotii
Da’ eu
In fiecare dimineata
Ma trezesc dardaind.
Si-mi ingheata si kuru.
Si-n plus
O sa fie toti indieni si chinezi.
Masculi.
M-asculti?
Asa ca le-o bag
Cum am stabilit.

Nothing Gold Can Stay

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

Naturo, esti faina

E misto natura
Acum toamna
Culori multe
Sa moara daltonistii de ciuda.
Da’ p-orma frunzele cad
Ca o d-aia de mos pervers care vrea mai mult decat poate
Si p-orma tre’ sa le matur
Si nu-mi place.

Acquainted With The Night

I have been one acquainted with the night.
I have walked out in rain - and back in rain.
I have outwalked the furthest city light.
I have looked down the saddest city lane.
I have passed by the watchman on his beat
And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.

I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet
When far away an interrupted cry
Came over houses from another street,

But not to call me back or say good-bye;
And further still at an unearthly height,
One luminary clock against the sky

Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right.
I have been one acquainted with the night.

O fo si nashpa

Bate vantu si e frig ca-n cantecu a’la
A lu’ Jimi care de fapt nu era al lui
Si-am tot umblat prin ploaie
Si pe strazile care n-au nume, c-au furat studentii semnele.
(sa-si decoreze buda cu ele)
M-a interpelat o gagica misto
Sa mergem s-o facem curat
In padure
Da’ degeaba am facut dus
Ca ea vorbea serios.
A doua zi cand i-am vazut dela balkon
P-aia cu pancarte cu hai s-o punem
Le-am scuipat seminte-n cap.
Eu chiar vroiam s-o pun
Da’ n-ai cu cine, domn’e, n-ai cu cine..
