ORFEJEVA PESEM
• Prišel je, bolj žalosten kot vesel, na ta svet, da bi pel.
• Prišel je poln upov in prazni rok na pomladni praznik otrok.
• Prišel je majcen, drobcen, ubog in zatrobil v srebrni rog.
ORPHEUS’ SONG
• With a sad rather than joyful ring, he came to this world to sing.
• In spring, hands empty, by hope elated, he came when children celebrated.
• A tiny little boy, poor and forlorn, he came and blew his silver horn.
Orfejeva pesem
• In pesem na žalostna, a čudno mila se je čez svet potočila,
• da so prisluhnile v gozdu ptice in vztrepetale bajalice,
• da so se odtajale hude zmrzali na strmi previsni skali,
• And his song, not sad but oddly sweet, shed across the world indeed:
• forest birds harkened like with the odds, and so did shiver the dowsing rods,
• the bitter frost but thawed away, high up in soaring rocks that day.
Orpheus’ Song
• da so obstali hrasti in bori med hojo po temni gori
• In so ljudje, začudeni, vsak po svoje ugibali, kdo neki to poje.
• On pa je rekel samo: To ni pesem, to je ena sama ljubezen.
• oaks and pines stopped and kept still whilst walking on the darksome hill,
• and the world in awe, since used to normal things, questioned: Who’s the one that sings?
• He replied, that was no song but sheer love, on and on.
