Hevier, Daniel: Man has given names to all the animals (Človek dal mená všetkým zvieratám in English)

Portre of Hevier, Daniel

Človek dal mená všetkým zvieratám (Slovak)

Man gave names to all the animals,
spieva Bob Dylan
a ja sa pokúšam pomenovať
všetko, čo mám v sebe:
všetky tie
tigre,
vlky,
šakaly,
hady,
jastraby,
poníky,
paviány,
krokodíly,
jašterice,
slimáky,
čriedu koní,
holubice.

Celý ten zverinec,
zvaný
mužská duša.

Man has given names to all the animals (English)

"Man gave names to all the animals"
sings Bob Dylan
and I try to name as well
everything I've got inside me:
all these
tigers,
wolves,
jackals,
snakes,
hawks,
ponies,
baboons,
crocodiles,
lizards,
herds of horses,
pigeons.
------------------
All this menagerie
known as
a man's soul.
