בַּסִּירָה הַצָּרָה אֲנַחְנוּ שְׁנַיִם.


The wounded forms appear:

the loss, the full extent.


Leonard Cohen

בַּסִּירָה הַצָּרָה אֲנַחְנוּ שְׁנַיִם.
אִשָּׁה אַחַת זְקוּפָה כְּעוֹרֵב
וְיֶלֶד בְּלָבָן. אִתָּנוּ הַשַּׁיָּט,
פָּנָיו פְּנֵי כָּל אֶחָד.
הַשָּׁמַיִם בַּרְזֶל סָמִיךְ,
לַמַּיִם צֶבַע בִּטְנוֹ שֶׁל סַרְדִין,
בָּבוּאַת הַסִּירָה בָּהֶם לַהַב כָּחֹל.
רַקְבּוּבִית אֵירוֹפָּה בְּאַפֵּנוּ.

אִם אֲנִי הַיֶּלֶד יֵשׁ לִי כּוֹבַע מַלָּחִים
וְשָׁלשׁ פְּנִינֵי דִּמְעָה עַל לֶחִי עֲגֻלָּה
קוֹפְאוֹת אֶל צַוְּארוֹנִי הַפָּרוּשׂ.
אִם אֲנִי הָאִשָּׁה הַמִּתְנוֹדֶדֶת מֵעָלָיו
עֵינַי תְּלוּיוֹת בְּשׁוּם גָּדָה.
לֹא מֶשִׁי וְצֶמֶר בְּגָדַי
כִּי מְשִׁיחוֹת צֶבַע שְׁחֹרוֹת,
וְהַשְּׁטָרוֹת בְּאַרְנָקִי
מִכְתָּבִים בִּדְיוֹ קְסָמִים:
בְּהֶרֶף עַיִן אֱמֶת הוֹפֶכֶת לִכְלוּם.

אִם אֲנִי הַיֶּלֶד אֲנִי יוֹדֵעַ רַק:
בְּהוֹנוֹתַי מְאֻבָּנִים מִפַּחַד,
לַמַּיִם פֶּה גָּדוֹל.
אִם אֲנִי הָאִשָּׁה, תַּחַת פִּרְחֵי כּוֹבָעִי
הַתְּפוּחִים כְּמוֹ מֶדוּזוֹת,
הַקּוֹל הָאוֹמֵר לִי, בּוֹטֵחַ,
בְּתוֹךְ הַהִינוּמָה הַשְּׁחֹרָה: דְּעִי,
לֹא יִהְיֶה לָךְ מָנוֹח.
הָאָרִיג יִתָּלֵשׁ מִן הַפֶּצַע לְאַט,
שׁוּב
       וְשׁוּב

[In the narrow boat we are two]


The wounded forms appear:

The loss, the full extent


Leonard Cohen


 
In the narrow boat we are two.
One woman upright as a raven
and a boy in white. With us, the boatman
his face anyone’s.
The sky is viscous iron,
the water the hue of a sardine’s belly,
the boat’s reflection a blue blade.
Europe’s rot in our nostrils.
 
If I am the boy I have a sailor cap
and three pearls of tears from my round cheek
freeze towards my open collar.
If I am the woman swaying above him
my eyes gaze at no shore.
My clothes are neither wool nor silk
but brushstrokes of black
and the banknotes in my purse
are letters penned in invisible ink:
In the blink of an eye truth becomes nothing.
 
If I am the boy I know only this:
My toes are petrified with fear,
the water has a big mouth.
 
If I am the woman, under the flowers
bloated like jellyfish on my hat
is the voice that tells me, confident,
inside the black veil: Know,
you will have no rest.
The cloth will be torn from the wound slowly
again
and again.

Translated by Vivian Eden

In dem engen Boot sind wir zu zweit

The wounded forms appear:
The loss, the full extent

Leonard Cohen


In dem engen Boot sind wir zu zweit.
Eine Frau gerade wie ein Rabe
und ein Kind in Weiß. Bei uns ist der Fährmann,
mit seinem Allerweltsgesicht.
Der Himmel dickflüssiges Eisen,
das Wasser hat die Farbe eines Sardinenbauchs.
Die Spiegelung des Boots darin eine blaue Klinge.
Europas Mulm in unserer Nase.

Bin ich das Kind, habe ich einen Matrosenhut
und drei Perlen Tränen auf einer runden Wange
gefrieren auf meinen aufgeschlagenen Kragen zu.
Bin ich die Frau, die über ihm schwankt,
sind meine Augen an keinerlei Ufer geheftet.
Mein Kleid ist weder aus Seide noch aus Wolle,
sondern aus schwarzen Farbstrichen,
und die Scheine in meiner Geldbörse
sind Briefe in Zaubertinte:
Innerhalb eines Augenblicks löst sich Wahrheit in nichts auf.

Bin ich das Kind, so weiß ich nur das:
Meine Zehen sind vor Angst versteinert,
das Wasser hat ein großes Maul.
Bin ich die Frau, ist unter den Blumen meines Huts,
die angeschwollen sind wie Quallen,
die Stimme, die mir sagt, sicher,
unter schwarzem Schleier: Wisse,
du wirst keine Ruhe haben.
Das Tuch wird langsam von der Wunde gerissen werden,
wieder
                          und wieder
