He
What a pity! He became "grown-up"
and, what’s more, a head taller than all these grown-ups.
How I passed all the weary days,
through the memories of his childhood
through the arms of his warm feeling.
How sincere they were
his small and large childish fears
how sincere was the color of his shyness
that ran like a river of stars
through the down of the clouds of his cheek.
How fast he went and went and went
beyond the valleys of distance
and the jasmine scent of his hands
amid the smell of coins and the abacus
flew off and vanished
became "grown-up", became "grown-up"
the color of the countless, the grown-ups.
I look at the dimensions of distance
the dimensions of distance that are not filled
with all our "profits"
that are not filled
with all your childhood
that are not filled
with all my sighs
all our "shares".
But alas for the arms of your feeling
but alas for my warm days
the stars
the stars...

او
Sunlight, Moonlight
چه حیف ! او "بزرگ" شد
و تازه یک سر از تمام این بزرگ ها بزرگ تر .
چه گونه من تمام روزهای خسته را ،
عبور دادم از میان خاطرات کودکی او
عبور دادم از میان بازوان حس گرم او .
چه صادقانه بود
بیم های کوچک و بزرگ کودکانه اش
چه صادقانه بود رنگ حجب او
که می دوید مثل رودی از ستاره ها
میان کرک ابرهای گونه اش .
چه گونه تند رفت و رفت و رفت
ورای درّه های فاصله
و عطر یاس دست هاش
میان بوی سکه ها و چرتکه
پرید و محو شد
"بزرگ" شد ، "بزرگ" شد
به رنگ بی شمارها ، بزرگ ها .
به بُعد های فاصله نگاه می کنم
به بُعدهای فاصله که پُر نمی شوند
با تمام "سود" های ما
که پُر نمی شوند
با تمام کودکی تو
که پُر نمی شوند
با تمام آه های من
تمام "سهم" های ما .
ولی دریغ بازوان حس تو
ولی دریغ روزهای گرم من
ستاره ها
ستاره ها ...
