Pound, Ezra: Saluto (Salutation in Hungarian)

Portre of Pound, Ezra

Back to the translator

Salutation (English)

O generation of the thoroughly smug

      and thoroughly uncomfortable,

I have seen fishermen picnicking in the sun,

I have seen them with untidy families,

I have seen their smiles full of teeth

      and heard ungainly laughter.

And I am happier than you are,

And they were happier than I am;

And the fish swim in the lake

      and do not even own clothing.

Saluto (Hungarian)

O generazione dei profondamente soddisfatti di sé

      e profondamente inquieti,

Ho visto i pescatori far merenda al sole,

Li ho visti con le loro famiglie sbrindellate,

Ho visto i loro sorrisi pieni di denti

      e udito scomposte risa.

E sono più felice di voi,

Ed essi più felici di me;

E i pesci nuotano nel lago

      e non posseggono nemmeno panni da vestire.
