Pistes

Sempre s’estima igual però diferent, em deies.
I ara entre el cafè i jo provem d’endevinar
si ens condemnava allò que era igual
o bé la diferència és la culpable.
L’amargor com una pista em porta a tu,
que ets a la cuina i amb la cullera dissols
el sucre que ja no em despertarà.
Del teu gest no es desprèn una resposta,
tan sols l’indici d’una pèrdua. Fixa’t:
Jo no tinc ales perquè els omòplats
tornen a ser omòplats si tu no els mires.
I tu que no tens esma per volar.
De tan a prop del terra, ja no caurem.
I estimar és caure.

Σημάδια

Πάντα αγαπάς εξίσου αλλά διαφορετικά, μου έλεγες.
Και τώρα ο καφές κι εγώ προσπαθούμε να μαντέψουμε
αν έχουμε τιμωρηθεί από το εξίσου
ή αν η διαφορετικότητα ήταν αυτή που έφταιξε.
Σαν σημάδι, η πίκρα με φέρνει σ’ εσένα,
που είσαι στην κουζίνα και με το κουταλάκι διαλύεις
τη ζάχαρη που δε θα με ξυπνήσει πια.
Απ’ αυτή σου την κίνηση δεν βγαίνει καμιά απάντηση,
μόνάχα η ένδειξη μιας απώλειας. Πρόσεξε:
Εγώ δεν έχω φτερά ώστε οι ώμοι μου
να είναι και πάλι ώμοι, αν δεν τους κοιτάζεις εσύ.
Κι εσύ έχεις χάσει τη θέληση να πετάξεις.
Τόσο κοντά στο πάτωμα, είναι δύσκολο να πέσουμε πλέον.
Και το ν’ αγαπάς, σημαίνει να πέφτεις.

Translated by Artemios Moulos.
Language: english

Hints

All that you love, you love equally but in different ways
you used to say,
and now, between me and the coffee we are trying to guess
if we have been punished by this even-handedness,
or if it’s difference that is to blame.
Bitterness, as a hint, brings me to you
there in the kitchen, where you are spooning in
sugar that will not wake me anymore.
There are no answers in your gestures,
only the evidence of loss. Look —
I no longer have wings, my shoulderblades
no more than shoulderblades if you do not look on them.
You have lost the will to fly.
This close to the ground we cannot fall —
and to love, after all, is to fall.

Translated by Theo Dorgan.
Language: spanish

Pistas

Siempre se ama igual pero diferente, me decías.
Y ahora entre el café y yo tratamos de adivinar
si nos condenaba lo que era igual
o bien la diferencia es la culpable.
Como una pista, la amargura me lleva a ti
que estás en la cocina y con la cuchara disuelves
el azúcar que ya no me despertará.
De tu gesto no se desprende ninguna respuesta,
tan sólo el indicio de una pérdida. Fíjate:
yo no tengo alas porque los omóplatos
vuelven a ser omóplatos si tú no los miras.
Y tú sin ánimo para volar.
De tan cerca del suelo, ya no caeremos.
Y amar es caer.

Traducido por Joan de la Vega.
Language: italian

Piste

Si ama sempre uguale, ma in modo differente, dicevi.
E ora tra me e il caffé proviamo a indovinare
se chi ci condannava era ciò che era uguale
o è la differenza la colpevole.
L’amarezza come una pista mi conduce a te,
che sei in cucina e con il cucchiaino sciogli
lo zucchero che non mi sveglierà più.
Dal tuo gesto non si deduce una risposta,
soltanto l’indizio di una perdita. Pensa:
Io non ho ali, perchè le scapole
tornano scapole se non le guardi.
E tu non hai inclinazione per volare.
Da così vicino a terra, non cadremo.
E amare è cadere.

Tradotto d'Elena Laurenzi.
Language: chinese

线索

爱总是相同的,但又不同,你总是说。
而现在这咖啡和我,一起试着去猜测
如果对我们宣判,是相同
抑或是不同是那罪魁祸首。
苦涩象一条线索把我带向你,
你正在厨房,拿着一只勺子搅拌着
那不会再将我唤醒的糖。
从你的举动推断不出任何答案,
只有一丝失去的迹象。你瞧:
我没有翅膀,因为那些肩胛骨
没有你的注视终又变回成为肩胛骨。
而且你没有飞翔的勇气。
我们离地面如此之近,已不可能坠落。
而爱就是坠落。

Translated by Liu Jing.
