Dormitând
În pâcla nopţilor de iarnă, cu hornuri ce fumează,
Când lămpile de stradă cu miile veghează,
În pâcla colorată mă duc abia simţit;
Mai mult ca orişicine, îmi pare c-am greşit.
Am fost atât de singur, şi singur am rămas,
În creierul meu plânge un nemilos taifas...
De sună-n ziduri ninse vreo muzică de bal,
Mai stau, şi plânge-n mine un vals provincial.
De la fereastra ninsă, cu finele perdele,
Mă duc pe străzi de gheaţă cu spuza lor de stele;
Şi-n mijlocul odăii, tot singur, mă prezint:
Valsa o blondă-n alb, şi cu pantofi de-argint...
Aprind, pe masă, lampa, şi iarăşi mă dezbrac,
Aş vrea să-mi fac un ceai, şi stau, şi nu-l mai fac...
Mă clatină spre pat al insomniei pas;
În creierul meu plânge un nemilos taifas.
Napping
In the haze of winter nights, with smoking chimneys,
When street lamps are watching by the thousands,
In the colored haze I walk, barely felt;
More than anyone, I think I was wrong.
I was so alone, and I remained alone,
A ruthless chatting is weeping in my brain...
If sounds, in snowy walls, some prom music,
I stay a while, and a provincial waltz cries in me.
From the snowy window, with the soft curtains,
I go on the icy streets with their multitude of stars;
And in the middle of the room, still alone, I introduce myself:
A blonde in white was waltzing, wearing silver shoes.
I light the lamp on table, and I take off my clothes again,
I'd like to make a tea, and then I change my mind...
The step of the insomnia shakes me toward the bed;
A ruthless chatting is weeping in my brain...
