From time's waves... (Din valurile vietii...) by Mihai Eminescu
0 comentarii Publicat de Pure Wish la 5/06/2010 09:46:00 PMFrom time's waves, my love, arise
With marble arms, with long blond hair-
And lucent face like the wax's white face
Weakened is by the shadow of the tender pains!
With your sweet smile you comfort my eyes,
Woman through the stars and star through the women
And turning your face to your left shoulder,
I look in the happiness's eyes and cry.
How can I rip you off from the mist,
Hold you at my chest, sweet dear angel,
And bend my face in tears over yours,
Drown your breath with burning kisses
And heat up the cold hand at my chest,
Close, closer to keep it on my heart.
But, alas, you're not real, so you're leaving
And your shadow fades away in the cold mist,
So I find myself again alone with my arms down
In the sad memory of the beautiful dream...
In vain I spread them after your sweet shadow:
I can't catch you from time's waves.
With marble arms, with long blond hair-
And lucent face like the wax's white face
Weakened is by the shadow of the tender pains!
With your sweet smile you comfort my eyes,
Woman through the stars and star through the women
And turning your face to your left shoulder,
I look in the happiness's eyes and cry.
How can I rip you off from the mist,
Hold you at my chest, sweet dear angel,
And bend my face in tears over yours,
Drown your breath with burning kisses
And heat up the cold hand at my chest,
Close, closer to keep it on my heart.
But, alas, you're not real, so you're leaving
And your shadow fades away in the cold mist,
So I find myself again alone with my arms down
In the sad memory of the beautiful dream...
In vain I spread them after your sweet shadow:
I can't catch you from time's waves.

By the odd poplars (Pe langa plopii fara sot) by Mihai Eminescu

Often I have passed;
All the neighbors recognized me-
You didn't recognize.
At your window which was glowing
I looked so many times;
A whole world understood it-
You didn't understand.
I've waited so many times
For a whisper as an answer!
A day of life to have given me,
A day was enough for me;
One hour to have been friends,
To love each other with woe,
To listen to the little mouth's voice
One hour, and then to die.
Giving me from your clear eye
A sunshine purposely,
In the way of the future times
A star would have lightened up;
You would have lived for centuries
And many many lives,
With your cold arms
You greatly pacified,
A face always adored
With no other pair
Those fairies that have been living
Since the old times.
Because I loved you with sinful eyes
And full of sufferings,
Which I received from my ancestors
Parents from parents.
Today I'm not even sorry
That I seldom pass,
That sadly your head
Turns in vain,
Because today you look like everyone
At shadow and behavior,
And I watch you carelessly
With a cold dead eye.
You have to enfold yourself
In the saint grace,
And light a candle in the night
For the love on this earth.

Silently loving (Iubind in taina) by Mihai Eminescu
0 comentarii Publicat de Pure Wish la 5/05/2010 09:12:00 PMSilently loving I kept the silence,
Thinking that you will like it like that,
Because in the looks I read the eternity
With deadly dreams of pleasure.
But I can't anymore. The longing's power
Gives words to the tender mysteries;
I want to drown in the sweet hotness
Of that soul that knows mine.
Can't you see that my mouth is burnt of thirst
And in my eyes you can see my cold pain,
My young girl with long and blond hair?
With a breath you cool my sigh,
With a smile you make the thought get drunk,
End this pain... come to my chest.

Guardian angel (Inger de paza) by Mihai Eminescu
0 comentarii Publicat de Pure Wish la 5/04/2010 09:39:00 PMWhile my soul was praying in the night,
I could see like in a dream my guardian angel,
Wearing clothes made of shadows and sunshine,
And above me with a smile it spread his wings;
But when I saw you in pale clothes,
Young girl full of longing and mystery,
The angel ran away from your defeated eye.
You're a demon, young girl, because only with a look
From your long eyelashes, from your big eyes
You made my angel fly frightened,
Him, my saint guardian, my faithful friend?
Or maybe!... Oh, close your long lashes,
So I can recognize your pale features,
Because you- you are him.

Far away I am from you (Departe sunt de tine) by Mihai Eminescu
0 comentarii Publicat de Pure Wish la 5/04/2010 09:12:00 PMFar away I am from you and alone near the fire,
I remember my life lacking in good luck,
Eighty years feel like have passed,
That I am old like winter, that you must have died.
Memories are falling on my soul like droplets,
Awakening in front of me the past nothings;
With his fingers the wind blows into the windows,
It comes back into my mind the wire of sweet stories,
And then in front of me it looks like you're walking through the mist,
With your big eyes full of tears, with thin and cold hands;
With both your arms you grab my neck
And you would like to tell me something... then you sigh...
I hold you tight my wealth of love and beauty,
With kisses we bind our poor lives...
Oh! the heart's voice should forever stay silent,
To forget forever the luck that for a second I had,
To forget that after a moment from my arms you tear out...
I'll be old and lonely, you'll be dead for long!

Why aren't you coming (De ce nu-mi vii) by Mihai Eminescu
0 comentarii Publicat de Pure Wish la 5/04/2010 08:33:00 PMSee, the swallows are leaving,
The walnut leaves are falling,
Frost is covering the vineyards-
Why aren't you coming, why aren't you coming?
Oh, come again in my arms,
So I can look at you avidly,
To sweetly rest my head,
On your breast, on your breast!
Do you remember when
We were walking through valleys and meadows,
I would lift you in my arms
So many times, so many times?
In this world there are women
With eyes that spread sparkles...
But, however high they are,
They're not like you, they're not like you!
Because you always brighten up
The life of my soul,
Brighter than any other star,
My love, my love!
Late is the autumn now,
The leaves are falling on the road,
And the fields are empty...
Why aren't you coming, why aren't you coming?
The walnut leaves are falling,
Frost is covering the vineyards-
Why aren't you coming, why aren't you coming?
Oh, come again in my arms,
So I can look at you avidly,
To sweetly rest my head,
On your breast, on your breast!
Do you remember when
We were walking through valleys and meadows,
I would lift you in my arms
So many times, so many times?
In this world there are women

They're not like you, they're not like you!
Because you always brighten up
The life of my soul,
Brighter than any other star,
My love, my love!
Late is the autumn now,
The leaves are falling on the road,
And the fields are empty...
Why aren't you coming, why aren't you coming?

Every time, my love ( De cate ori, iubito) by Mihai Eminescu
0 comentarii Publicat de Pure Wish la 4/28/2010 10:11:00 PM
Every time, my love, I remember,
The frozen ocean appears ahead of me:
On the steamy sky no star shows itself,
Far away only the yellow moon-a spot;
And over thousands of rapid icy waves
A bird is floating with tired wings,
While its mate kept flying forward
With a whole stock of birds, disappearing in the sunset,
It's looking back with suffering glances,
It's not sorry now, it's not glad... it dies,
Dreaming itself years back in a second.
We are further and further together,
More and more I'm darkening and freezing,
When you're not disappearing in the eternal morning's horizon.
