Yeats, William Butler: Rusalka (A mermaid in Serbian)

Portre of Yeats, William Butler
Portre of Fehér Illés

Back to the translator

A mermaid (English)

A mermaid found a swimming lad,
Picked him for her own,
Pressed her body to his body,
Laughed; and plunging down
Forgot in cruel happiness
That even lovers drown.

Rusalka (Serbian)

Zatekla rusalka mladića na kupanju,
Nije se libila njega osvojiti,
Uz njegovo telo se priljubila,
Smejala se; i potonuli
U okrutnoj sreći zaboravila
Da će se njena ljubav udaviti.
