Radauskas, Henrikas: The butcher shop (Mėsinė in English)

Portre of Radauskas, Henrikas

Mėsinė (Lithuanian)

Gražuole pavargusiom rankom neono šviesoj gailestingoj,

Kuri kaip numirėlių raudos tau liejas ramiai ant plaukų,

Gražuole pavargusiom rankom, tau riksmas ant pirštų sustingo,

Maurojimas mirė kaip aidas tarp rudenio medžių plikų.

 

Tinkuotam danguj su žuvėdrom pakyla Korinto kolonos,

Ten freskoje plaukia Europa ant jaučio sunkiam vandeny.

Į didelį veidrodį žiūri akmens akimis Apolonas,

Ir žydi ant marmuro stalo mėsa tartum rožė švelni.

The butcher shop (English)

Oh beauty with weary arms in the pitying neon light

That pours like death moans on your hair,

Oh beauty with weary arms, screams congealed on your fingers,

Bellows died in echoes among the naked autumn trees.

 

Corinthian columns rise with the gulls in the plaster sky

Where frescoed Europa swims on the bull in heavy seas,

Apollo stares at a mirror with eyes of stone

And on the marble table meat blossoms like a delicate rose.
