Lur Osoaren Erasoak

TXOMIN ARTOLA

Lur osoaren erasoak
ezin garaitu zezakeen hiri bat,
ikusi nuen ametsetan.

Adiskideen hiri berria zela,
egin nuen amets,
ez zen han, elkar maitatzeko zuten
amodio gartsua bezain gauza haundirik,
gainerako guztia gainditzen zuen amodio
honek,
tenore guztietan nabari zen:

hiri honetako gizonen ekintzetan,
beren begirada eta mintzo guztietan.

I Dream’d in a Dream
I dream'd in a dream,
I saw a city invincible to the attacks
of the whole of the rest of the earth;

I dream’d that was the new City of Friends;
Nothing was greater there
than the quality of robust love.
it led the rest;

It was seen every hour in the actions of the men of that city,
And in all their looks and words.
