Der Pollenflug

Im Frühjahr ziehen die Wolken,
Rot-gelb vor blühender Lust,
Durch die Schatten, die grünen
Hyperbeln des Vorgebirges;

Die Amseln rufen vergeblich
Und plustern die Brüste
Gegen die Elstern, die strebsam
Die Nester leerräumen; und

Der Pirol federt scheu den schwarz-
Gelben Stempel der Flucht
In die ausgelieferte Landschaft,
Wo Pollenflug herrscht; –

Welch eine Gegend, denkst du,
Reist bedauernsvoll ab: im
Rücken die Herden der Hügel,
Die der Tränke zugehn.

طيراناتُ حبّ الطّلع

تنسحبُ الغيومُ في الرّبيع

حمراءَ مصفرّةً في امتقاع رغبتها اليانعة،

تنسحب مُرخيةً ظلالَها على أمشاط الجبالِ الأماميّة

التي راحت تبالغُ بزهوّ تحدّباتِها المخضرّة؛

كانت الشّحاريرُ تنادي بلا طائلٍ،

نافشةً ريشَ صدرها

وهي تتحدّى طيورَ العَقعَق،

التي كانت تُجهدُ الوقتَ في تفريغ الأعشاش؛

أمّا الصفّار فكان يطيرُ مثل نابضٍ انفلتَ في الهواء

وراح متهادياً يرسل آثارَ تصفيقه الهارب

بُقعاً سوداً وصفراً فوق أماكن تهرب مع جناحيه

وتترك خلفها أخيلةً مغطّاة بغبار الطّلع الطائر؛ -

أيّ أرضٍ هذي، تفكّر أنتَ،

وتغادر: خلفكَ قطيعُ هضابٍ،

يسيرُ باتّجاهِ المقهى.

Language: italian

Il polline vola

In primavera trascorrono le nubi,
rosso-gialle di voglia fiorente,
fra le ombre, l’iperbole verde
delle pendici del monte;

gridano i merli inutilmente
gonfiando il loro petto
contro le gazze che ardite
svuotano i nidi; e

il rigogolo ombroso fa scattare
l’icona giallo-nera della fuga
nel paesaggio che si concede,
dove domina il polline che vola; -

che paesaggio, stai pensando,
se ne va pien di rimpianto, mentre
alle spalle il gregge delle colline
sta correndo all’abbeveraggio.

Polenov let

U proljeće se vuku oblaci,
Crveno-žuti od cvjetne žudnje,
Kroz sjenke, zelene
Hiperbole predgorja;

Kosovi uzalud zovu
I šepure se grudima
Spram svraka što revnosno
Gnijezda prazne; i

Zlatna vuga puni perjem
Crno-žuti žig bjekstva
U izručenu oblast,
Gdje polenov let vlada; –

Kakav predio, pomisliš,
Pun žala odlazeći: za
Leđima stada brežuljaka
Koja ka pojilu idu.
