Janík, Pavol: Núdzové pristátie v tvojich vlasoch

Portre of Janík, Pavol

Núdzové pristátie v tvojich vlasoch (Slovak)

Lietadlá si namýšľajú,
že sú viac ako lode,
ale pýcha predchádza pád.

Smútok z víťazstva
je neznesiteľný.

V tme tvojich vlasov
sa mihajú žiarivé trosky
vzdušných plavidiel
a na dno očí
ti klesajú trblietavé záhady.

Bez slova
- ako úsmev v tvojich ústach
čakám na svoju príležitosť.

An Emergency Landing in Your Hair (English)

Planes got it into their heads
that they were better than ships,
but pride comes before a fall.

The sadness of victory
is unbearable.

In the darkness of your hair
glitter the tiny wrecks
of airships
and to the bottom of your eyes
sink sparkling mysteries.

Speechlessly
- like the smile on your lips
I’m awaiting my opportunity.
