Pilinszky János: Four Lines (Négysoros in English)

Portre of Pilinszky János

Back to the translator

Négysoros (Hungarian)

Alvó szegek a jéghideg homokban.
Plakátmagányban ázó éjjelek.
Égve hagytad a folyosón a villanyt.
Ma ontják véremet.

[1946] 1956

Four Lines (English)

Sleeping nails in the ice-cold sand.
A billboard drenched in the lonely night.
You left the light on in the hallway.
Today will be my blood poured out.
