József Attila: A sigh (Sóhaj in English)

Portre of József Attila

Sóhaj (Hungarian)

Ha könny csorog,
Ha kebel sír,
Ha jaj hallik,
Ha ég dörren,
Föld kerekén,
Akármerre:
Az én könnyem,
Az én keblem,
Az én jajom,
Büntetésem:
Föld kerekén
Akármerre
Járok, mindig
Csorg a könnyem,
Sír a keblem,
Jajom hallik,
Az ég dörren
- Átkozott fej
Az én fejem -
Átkozott fej
Te fölötted.

1921. okt. 31.

A sigh (English)

When tears fall and
Breast is weeping,
Moaning's heard and
Skies are clapping,
On this earth, it
Matters not where:
Tears of my own,
My own breast, and
My own wailing
Will punish me:
Matters not where
Upon this earth
Travels take me,
I'll shed tears, my
Breast will weep, my
Moans will be heard
And skies will clap
- What damned head this
Head of mine is -
Damned is the head
That’s above you.
