Jo em donaria a qui em volgués
Jo em donaria a qui em volgués
com si ni jo me n'adonés
d'aquest donar-me: com si ho fes
un jo de mi que m'ignorés.
Jo em donaria a qui es donés
a canvi meu per sempre més:
que res de meu no me'n quedés
en el no meu que jo en rebés.
Jo em donaria per un bes,
per un de sol, prô que besés
i del besat em desbesés.
Jo em donaria a qui em volgués
com si ni jo me n'adonés:
com una almoina que se'm fes.

I’d give myself to whoever cared
I’d give myself to whoever cared,
as if not even I happened to notice
this giving myself; as if it were done
by a me of myself I simply ignored.
I’d give myself to one who did the same
in exchange for me forever more:
that nothing of myself would remain
in the non-I I chanced to receive.
I’d give myself for just a kiss,
one single kiss, that would kiss
and from the kissed unkiss me.
I’d give myself to whoever cared
as if not even I happened to notice:
like a coin given to me in charity.
22-23 October, 1940
