Leave Me Only A Song

Palik Tik Dainą Man

line

Paulius Širvys


Girdėjau tavo atdūsį
Kaip dainą iš toli. 
Daireis, kažką praradusi
Baltam dienų kely.
Šaukiau tave — neatmeni.
Neatmeni — nereik.
Apeik mane kaip akmenį,
Kaip mirusį apeik.
Ir eik tu sau, kaip einama
Mylėti pirmąsyk. 
Palik, palik tik dainą man,
Tik ilgesį palik.

Leave Me Only A Song

line

Ash Maria


I heard how you breathe 
As though a song far out. 
You looked around for something bereaved
On the days’ white route. 

I called out to you… no recollection.
Recollect you… don’t need to. 
Pass me — a stone’s reflection, 
As if dead, pass me through. 

And go the way, in which you belong
To experience love on its eve.
Leave, leave me only a song, 
Only the longing I want you to leave.
