"La steaua" (poezia originala în limba româna-recita Dana Andrea Nigrim "To the star"("La steaua") by Mihai Eminescu, -text translation Corneliu M. Popescu
TO THE STAR by Mihai Eminescu
So far it is athwart the blue To where yon star appears, That for its light to reach our view Has needed thousand years. Maybe that ages gone it shed Its glow, then languished in the skies, Yet only now its rays have sped Their journey to our eyes. The icon of the star that died Slowly the vault ascended; Time was ere it could first be spied, We see now what is ended. So is it when our love's aspire Is hid beneath night's bowl, The gleam of its extinguished fire Enkindles yet our soul.
English version by Corneliu M. Popescu
LA STEAUA
de Mihai Eminescu
La steaua care-a rasarit
E-o cale-atât de lunga,
Ca mii de ani i-au trebuit
Luminii sa ne-ajunga.
Poate de mult s-a stins în drum
În departari albastre,
Iar raza ei abia acum
Luci vederii noastre.
Icoana stelei ce-a murit
Încet pe cer se suie;
Era pe când nu s-a zarit,
Azi o vedem, si nu e.
Tot astfel când al nostru dor
Pieri în noapte-adânca,
Lumina stinsului amor
Ne urmareste înca.
(1886, 1 decembrie)
