Akordi II
à Reverdy

O fant, kam drsaš, v jezi
na drsalkah ne poznaš smeri.

Je vesolje, kamor te nosi in se drsalke
več ne stikajo s tlemi pod tabo.

Ali plesalci tu na glavah plešejo
ali samo padajo
in so globoko v naglem padanju.

Drobne pike so planeti in drsalke
vsake toliko zdrsnejo z ukrivljene ploskve.

Je to ples o plesu, ali zemlja že
ves čas pleše in je tvoje drsanje le želja.

Če se premikaš s tako naglico, te sploh
še kdo ustavi, vidi sneti drsalke.  

Dober drsalec si, tvoje drsanje
je let okruškov kometa v kozmosu.

Si kdaj videl utrinke, zagledal
bliske, nenadne, zaslišal velike poke.

Je razneslo tvoj notranji, človeški glas ali
se je izustil molčečnež, ki se prej ni še nikoli.

Ah, treseš se (ko zadrsaš v praznino),
drsalke ječijo: Ne obžaluj ničesar.

Chords II
à Reverdy

Boy, where are you skating, in your anger
you have lost your bearings.

There is a universe attracting you
and your skates take leave of the ground.

Do dancers dance on their heads here
or do they simply fall
and are deep in their fast falling.

Tiny dots are planets and the skates
every so often slide off the curved surface.

Is this a dance of dancing or has the earth
danced for all time and your skating is only a wish.

If you move with such haste, can anyone ever
stop you, see you take off your skates.

You are a fine skater, your skating
the flight of a comet's shards through the cosmos.

Did you ever see a shooting star, catch sight
of lightning, suddenly, hear big banging.

Did your inner human voice burst or
close-lipped voice for the first time.

Ah, you tremble (gliding into the void),
the skates groan: regret nothing.

Translated by Ana Jelnikar and W. Martin
Language: german

Akkorde II
für Reverdy

O Junge, wohin läufst du, vor Wut
kennst du auf Schlittschuhen deine Richtung nicht.

Es ist das All, wohin es dich trägt, und die Schlittschuhe
berühren schon den Boden nicht mehr.

Tanzen die Tänzer hier auf dem Kopf
oder stürzen sie nur
und stecken tief in einem schnellen Stürzen.

Winzige Punkte sind die Planeten, und die Schlittschuhe
rutschen immer wieder von der gekrümmten Fläche.

Ist das ein Tanz über einen Tanz, oder tanzt die Erde
schon die ganze Zeit und ist dein Tanz nur ein Wunsch.

Wenn du dich mit einer derartigen Geschwindigkeit bewegst, hält
dich überhaupt jemand auf, sieht er dich deine Schlittschuhe ablegen.

Ein guter Eisläufer bist du, dein Eislaufen ist
der Flug von Kometensplittern im Kosmos.

Hast du je Sternschnuppen gesehen, Blitze
erblickt, unverhofft, lautes Knallen gehört.

Flog deine innere menschliche Stimme in die Luft
oder redete ein Schweiger, der bisher noch nie gesprochen hatte.

Ach, du zitterst (wenn du ins Nichts läufst),
die Schlittschuhe ächzen: Bedauere gar nichts.
