Donada
Gift, par Leonard Cohen
Traduida de engles e musicida par Michel Gaillard
Tu dise: « La silentia
prosimi a la pas
plu ca la poesia »,
ma, si me ta dona
a tu la silentia
(car me sabe la silentia),
tu ta dise:
« Esta no es silentia,
ancora lo es poesia »,
e tu ta retrae lo a me.
You tell me that silence / is nearer to peace / than poems / but if for my gift / I brought you silence / (for I know silence) / you would say: / “This is not silence, / this is another poem” / and you would hand it back to me.
