Thomas, Dylan: Ne ballagj csöndben amaz éjszakába (Do not go gentle into that good night in Hungarian)

Portre of Thomas, Dylan
Portre of Vas István

Back to the translator

Do not go gentle into that good night (English)

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Ne ballagj csöndben amaz éjszakába (Hungarian)

Ne ballagj csöndben amaz éjszakába,

lobogj, öregkor, a jó szürkületben:

tombolj, dühöngj, ha jő a fény halála.

 

A bölcs, mert villám nem pattan szavára,

s bár a homályt végül megérti rendben,

nem ballag csöndben amaz éjszakába.

 

A jó, ha már több hullám nem dobálja,

a zöld öbölt siratja s elveszetten

tombol, dühöng, ha jő a fény halála.

 

A szertelen, ki a napot cibálta

röptében, s most tettétől visszaretten,

nem ballag csöndben amaz éjszakába.

 

A zord, ki vaksin haldokolva látja:

meteorláng vidulhat vak szemekben,

tombol, dühöng, ha jő a fény halála.

 

S apám, te, a bús magaslaton állva,

vad könnyek közt átkozz vagy áldj meg engem.

Ne ballagj csöndben amaz éjszakába.

Tombolj, dühöngj, ha jő a fény halála.
