Petrőczi Éva: Once she turns sixty-five... (A nőcit, hogyha hatvanöt… in English)

Portre of Petrőczi Éva

A nőcit, hogyha hatvanöt… (Hungarian)

A nőcit, hogyha hatvanöt,
még ne delete-eld, ne töröld,
hisz ma is Éva lányaként
sugárzik, pöröl és pörög,
még most is, akkor is,
ha volt-aranysörénye hószín,
s ha itt-ott lelke, s porcikája- tört.
 
Vénnek, ifjúnak egyaránt
elég – talán – e Föld.

Once she turns sixty-five... (English)

Do not delete, erase the dolly-bird yet
once she turns sixty-five,
why, she still shines like Eva's daughter,
is glib and quarrelsome
even now, even when
her former golden mane is snow-white
and soul and sundry bits are broken here and there.
 
This Earth - perhaps - suffices
for old and young alike.
