NA KROVU SVETA

Za Susan & Bruce Blanshard

Ja vidim vrh planine

Cveće je upravo procvalo

Svetlo zrači odavde

Zora zrači odavde

I obasjava stopalo vrha, šuma postoji

Ptice se rastaju u ranu zoru

Ja sam, inače, ostavio uspomene

Niotkuda

Ali od tog cveta

Prelep dan se budi

Hodam do najbližeg kafića

Da sačekam ženu

I po prvi put tražim

Istinu, veliku istinu

Svi smo rodjeni ovde

At the Root of the World

For Susan & Bruce Blanshard

I see at the top of the hill

A beardgrass flower just bloomed

Light emanates from there

Dawn emanates from there

And illuminates the foot of the hill, a forest exit

Birds depart in the early morning

I too have just left my memories

Not from anywhere else

But from that very beardgrass flower

An extremely beautiful day is forming

I walk to the nearest café

To wait for my woman

And for a long time I look towards the hill

True, very true

All of us were born there.

(Trans. by Nhat-Lang Le & Susan Blanshard)

Nơi cội nguồn thế giới

Tặng 2 nhà thơ Susan & Bruce Blanshard!

Tôi nhìn thấy trên đỉnh đồi

Một bông cỏ may vừa nở

Ánh sáng phát ra từ đó

Bình minh đang phát ra từ đó

Soi rõ chân đồi, lối ra bìa rừng

Những con chim bay đi buổi sớm

Tôi cũng vừa thoát khỏi ký ức của tôi

Không phải nơi nào khác

Mà chính từ bông cỏ may kia

Đang làm nên một ngày tuyệt đẹp

Tôi rảo bước đến quán café gần nhất

Đợi người đàn bà của tôi

Và nhìn rất lâu về phía ngọn đồi

Đúng, rất đúng

Tất cả chúng ta vừa sinh ra ở đó.
