November 25 – This word by Magda Jaworska

Posted by Deacon Jim on Nov 25, 2009 in Poetry |

this word
took a special meaning
when among pulsating veins of my temples
among shouting
you made your appearance

this word
quiet and modest
is defenceless
because you’re still afraid

this word
used to be called destiny
but I call it
your name

Translation by Andrzej Osóbka

to słowo
nabrało szczególnego znaczenia
gdy pośród tętniących żyłami skroni
i krzyków
zjawiłeś się

to słowo
ciche i skromne
jest bezbronne
bo ty wciąż się boisz

to słowo
zwano przeznaczeniem
a ja nazywam je
twoim imieniem
