Chesterton, Gilbert Keith: Triolett (Triolet in Hungarian)

Portre of Chesterton, Gilbert Keith
Portre of Gergely Ágnes

Triolet (English)

I wish I were a jelly fish
That cannot fall downstairs;
Of all the things I wish to wish
I wish I were a jellyfish
That hasn't any cares
And doesn't even have to wish
'I wish I were a jellyfish
That cannot fall downstairs.'

Triolett (Hungarian)

Ó, bárcsak volnék én medúza,
ki szabadon csapong,
s ki nem kell farkát hogy behúzza,
mondván, bár volnék én medúza,
kit nem gyötör a gond,
s nincs vágya sem, mely csőbe húzza,
hogy: „Bárcsak volnék én medúza,
ki szabadon csapong."
