Hellaakoski, Aaro: Dolce far niente

Portre of Hellaakoski, Aaro

Dolce far niente (Finnish)

Klo 9

illan-virkeä katu

kiiltävin kivin

niinkuin värikäs satu

on kotipolkusi alla lyhtyjen rivin

       kun                             hauska kiire

              työstä                  soipa jymy

                        palaat        mannekiinein

                                          tylsä hymy

p u o t i e n  l o i s t a v a t   a k k u n a t

 t u h a n n e t   o u d o t   k u l k i j a t

                                  autojen

                            käpälät

                     katua

            kynsivät

    silmien täydeltä

    valoa päähäsi ryöppyää

                valkea hansikas

                            SEIS

valkea hansikas ojennetussa kädessä             

                hrr-rr-rh

turvallisesti kulje uupunut mies

      ilta     iltaties     ties

 ikkunat akkunat paistavat

 aatokset unta jo maistavat

 suloinen, suloinen uupumus

     illan kiihkeä kauneus

                             dolce   far   niente

Dolce far niente (English)

9 o'clock

evening-lively street

with shining stones

like a colorful tale

your way home under the row of lamps

     when                                delightful hurry

         you get back                sonorous rumble

                    from work        silly smile of the

                                     mannequins misted smile

        g l e a m i n g  s h o p  w i n d o w s

t h o u s a n d s  o f   s t r a n g e r s  w a l k i n g

                              car

                        paws

                   claw

             the street

    eyes fill with light

    whirling toward your head

              white glove

                        STOP

white glove on an outstretched hand

                   hrr-rr-rh

    walk safely, weary man

evening   eveningway   way

windows windows are shining

thoughts are already tasting sleep

       sweet sweet weariness

   ardent beauty of the evening

                                          dolce   far   niente
