angleščina

És natura ― ben humana

És natura ― ben humana
el 'nar follant com d'una gana
i fantasia ― animal
voler veure-hi la ganyota,
la mateixa, al mirall.
Oreneta!
Ve mon pare que,
amb l'escombra, tomba el niu
mentre em diu:
―Vas néixer una primavera
i pariràs un fill dels hiverns.

It's very human ― it is Nature

It's very human ― it is Nature
to go 'round fucking from starvation,
and it is animal ― fancifulness
the wish to see in the reflection
the same face.
Dear Swallow! Dad is coming
with a broom to knock down the nest,
while he says:
― You were born in spring,
but to a winter's child you'll give birth.

Translated by Annie Muir
