POATE VISÃM
Nu știm nimic, dar vorbim despre tot
ca și cum am ști totul.
Nu știm să ne arătăm fără de noi nimănui,
fără tarele noastre.
Ne acoperim trupul cu pene
într-o împăunare vicleană,
ne prefacem că învățăm, că pricepem
dar nimic nu-i deslușit.
Ne mințim în fiece clipă
până când Dumnezeul dinlăuntru
își frânge mâinile ca într-un vis urât.
Nu știm a ne iubi nici pe noi înșine
și-atunci osteniți de atâta nedumerire
închidem ochii
poate visăm cum se face.
MAYBE WE’RE DREAMING
We don’t know anything, but we’re talking about everything
As if we knew everything
We do not know how to reveal to anyone without ourselves,
without our bad habits.
We cover our bodies with feathers
in a cunning reconciliation,
we pretend to learn, to understand
but nothing’s clear.
We lie to each other every moment
Until the God inside
breaks his hands like in a bad dream.
We don’t know how to love at least ourselves
and then tired of so much confusion
we close our eyes
maybe we’ll dream about how it’s done.
