Smith, Stevie: Conviction

Portre of Smith, Stevie

Conviction (English)

I

Christ died for God and me

Upon the crucifixion tree

For God a spoken Word

For me a Sword

For God a hymn of praise

For me eternal days

For God an explanation

For me salvation.

 

II

I walked abroad in Easter Park,

I heard the wild dog's distant bark,

I knew my Lord was risen again, -

Wild dog, wild dog, you bark in vain.

 

III

The shadow was so black,

I thought it was a cat,

But once in to it

I knew it

No more black

Than a shadow’s back.

 

Illusion is a freak

Of mind;

The cat’s to seek.

 

IV

I like to get off with people,

I like to lie in their arms

I like to be held and lightly kissed,

Safe from all alarms.

 

I like to laugh and be happy

With a beautiful kiss,

I tell you, in all the world

There is no bliss like this.

Meggyőződés (részlet) (Hungarian)

1

Krisztus a kereszt mezején

Isten halottja s az enyém

Isten számára Ige

nekem Kard hegye

Istennek dicsérő ének

nekem örök élet

Isten számára okság

nekem szabadság

 

2

Járok húsvéti fák alatt,

egy veszett kutya rám ugat,

de feltámadt az Ég Ura -

ugathatsz már, veszett kutya!

 

3

Az árnyék oly sötét

volt, azt hittem, macska lép

elém, s mihelyt

benyelt,

tudtam, csak úgy sötét,

ahogy az árnyékkép.

 

Ezért ne kutass hát

káprázatot.

Keresd a macskát.
