Heaney, Seamus: Réce (Widgeon in Hungarian)

Portre of Heaney, Seamus

Widgeon (English)

                     for Paul Muldoon

 
It had been badly shot.
While he was plucking it
he found, he says, the voice box -
 
like a flute stop
in the broken windpipe -
 
and blew upon it
unexpectedly
his own  small widgeon cries.

Réce (Hungarian)

             Paul Muldoonnak

 
Rosszul lett meglőve.
Ahogy kopasztotta
megtalálta, mondta, a hangdobozt –
 
mint furulyaluk
a repedt légcsőben -
 
és belefújta
váratlanul
saját kis réce-jaját.
