Už mladé vlaštúvky
(1920)
Part of a series or song cycle:
The Diary of One who Disappeared, (Zápisník zmizelého)
Už mladé vlaštúvky
Už mladé vlaštúvky ve hnízdě vrnoží,
ležal sem celú noc jako na trnoži.
Už sa aj svítání na nebi patrní,
ležal sem celú noc jako nahý v trní.
Already swallows are twittering overhead
Already swallows are twittering overhead,
but I’ve lain all the night sleepless upon my bed.
Now in the sky there’s a light, it’s the flush of dawn,
and I’ve lain all the night as on a bed of thorn.
