Булбул
Булбул са белим тачкама и
црвеним шеширом
Пева на дугачком дрвету:
Тее-сова... сова... Тее-Воо...
Брзо сам нацртао кавез мисли
Бојао сам се да ће птица одлетети.
Таман кад сам завршио цртеж
он је отишао,
Загрлио сам сунчев оквир,
ветровит оквир
Док су зелене гране јуриле за њим.
Његовог нестанка без трага,
помислио сам
Касније ће се Булбул вратити
да покупи црве,
Зрело црвено воће,
Свака кап воде
Моја је чистоћа
Тее-сова... сова... Тее-Воо...
Птица не мора да лети назад
поново
Чујем птичије певање сада,
сасвим јасно.
The Bulbul
A bulbul with white spots and a red
hat
Sings on the towering tree:
Tee-whit… whit… tee-woo...
Quickly I draw a cage of thought
Afraid the
bird will fly away.
Just when I finished the drawing he
took off,
I hugged the sunny frame, the windy
frame;
As the green bough chased after him.
Of his disappearance without a
trace, I thought
Later the bulbul will be back to
peck worms,
The ripe red fruit.
Every drop of water
Is my purity
Tee-whit… whit… tee-woo...
The bird needn’t fly back again--
I hear birdsong now, quite clearly.

Con chào mào
Con chào mào đốm trắng mũ đỏ
Hót trên cây cao chót vót
triu… uýt… huýt… tu hìu…
Tôi vội vẽ chiếc lồng
trong ý nghĩ
Sợ chim bay đi
Vừa vẽ xong nó cất cánh
Tôi ôm khung nắng, khung gió
Nhành cây xanh hối hả đuổi theo
Trong vô tăm tích tôi nghĩ
Lát nữa chào mào sẽ mổ những con sâu
Trái cây chín đỏ
Từng giọt nước
Thanh sạch của tôi
triu… uýt… huýt… tu hìu…
Chẳng cần chim lại bay về
Tiếng hót ấy giờ tôi nghe rất rõ.
