Pilinszky János: Van Gogh imája

Portre of Pilinszky János

Van Gogh imája (Hungarian)

Csatavesztés a földeken.

Honfoglalás a levegőben.

Madarak, nap és megint madarak.

Estére mi marad belőlem?

 

Estére csak a lámpasor,

a sárga vályogfal ragyog,

s a kert alól, a fákon át,

mint gyertyasor, az ablakok;

 

hol én is laktam, s nem lakom,

a ház, hol éltem, és nem élek,

a tető, amely betakart.

Istenem, betakartál régen.

Van Gogh's Prayer (English)


Lost battles in the fields.

Conquest in the sky.

Birds, sun and again birds.

What will remain of me by the evening?


By the evening just the row of lights,

and the yellow mud-wall will shine,

and from under the gardens, through the trees,

the windows are like rows of candles, bright;


where I used to stay, and I don’t,

the house I lived in, and I don’t,

the roof that sheltered me.

My God, you used to shelter me.
