The Old Men Admiring Themselves In The Water (English)
I heard the old, old men say,
'Everything alters,
And one by one we drop away.'
They had hands like claws, and their knees
Were twisted like the old thorn-trees
By the waters.
I heard the old, old men say,
'All that's beautiful drifts away
Like the waters.' | Uploaded by | Efraim Israel |

A víztükörbe aggok néznek (Hungarian)
Aggokat hallottam így szólani:
"Torz lesz minden, mi jó,
Egymás után hullunk mi ki."
Kezük mint kampó, görbe
Lábuk mint vén fák törzse
Hol sekély a folyó.
Aggokat hallottam én szólani:
"Elillan mind, ami
Csak szép, mint a folyó."
