Webster, John: Őrültek dala (Madman’s song in Hungarian)

Portre of Webster, John
Portre of Vas István

Back to the translator

Madman’s song (English)

(The Duchess of Malfi, Act IV, Scene II)

 

O, let us howl some heavy note,

  Some deadly dogged howl,

Sounding as from the threatening throat

  Of beasts and fatal fowl!

As ravens, screech-owls, bulls, and bears,

  We ’ll bell, and bawl our parts,

Till irksome noise have cloy’d your ears

  And corrosiv’d your hearts.

At last, whenas our choir wants breath,

  Our bodies being blest,

We ’ll sing, like swans, to welcome death,

  And die in love and rest.

Őrültek dala (Hungarian)

(Dal az „Amalfi hercegnő"-ből)

 

Voníts velünk vad éneket,

károgj, konok halál,

a dúvadak üvöltenek,

vijjog a vészmadár.

Mint medve, farkas, ölyv, kuvik,

ricsajgó egyveleg,

ettől lesz fületek dugig,

szétmállik szívetek.

De végül már, kifúlva majd

dalolja kórusunk

a szerelmes, boldog hattyudalt,

s szelíden meghalunk.
