Abiatzea
Hona, badator arratsa
larreetan barna, berri-berria,
ez du argirik izekitzen.
Ezti dirudi urrutitik, baina
ez dakar kontsolamendurik
bular eta belaunendako.
Nora joan zaigu zuhaitza, zeru-lurrak
lotzen zituen hura? Zer dut eskuen azpian,
ezin dut sentitu?
Zer lor daukat eskuetan?
Going
There is an evening coming in / Across the fields, one never seen before, / That lights no lamps. // Silken it seems at a distance, yet / When it is drawn up over the knees and breast / It brings no comfort. // Where has the tree gone, that locked / Earth to the sky? What is under my hands, / That I cannot feel? // What loads my hands down?
