Dintre sute de catarge (Romanian)
Dintre sute de catarge
Care lasă malurile,
Câte oare le vor sparge
Vânturile, valurile?
Dintre pasări călătoare
Ce străbat pământurile,
Câte-o să le-nece oare
Valurile, vânturile?
De-i goni fie norocul,
Fie idealurile,
Te urmează în tot locul
Vânturile, valurile.
Nenţeles rămâne gândul
Ce-ţi străbate cânturile,
Zboară vecinic, îngânându-l,
Valurile, vânturile. Source of the quotation | http://irodalom.elender.hu |

From Among Hundreds of Masts (English)
From among hundreds of masts Leaving shores and banks and bays, Are there many to be lost Broken by the winds and waves?
From among birds of passage, Flying over lands and seas, Are there many to be drowned By the waves and by the sea?
If you chase away your luck Or ideals, all you have, You are followed everywhere By the winds and by the waves.
Undeciphered is the thought That keeps passing through your chants As they fly, they murmur it All these winds and all these waves.
