“Will you cry heavy tears or will you smile”
by LUCIAN BLAGA
I
don’t regret,
that there is also mud collected in my soul-
but I do think of you.
With sunny claws
one morning will kill your dream
that my soul is immaculate
as your thought would like
as your heart would believe.
Will you cry heavy tears then, or will you just forgive?
Will you cry heavy tears, or will you smile
in the light of that morning
when I will tell you without shadow of remorse:
“But don’t you know that only on lakes with muddy depths, the water lilies grow?”

“Vei plange mult or vei zambi?” de LUCIAN BLAGA
Eu
nu mă căiesc,
c-am adunat în suflet şi noroi-
dar mă gândesc la tine.
Cu gheare de lumină
o dimineaţă-ţi va ucide-odată visul,
că sufletul mi-aşa curat,
cum gândul tău il vrea,
cum inima iubirii tale-l crede.
Vei plânge mult atunci ori vei ierta?
Vei plânge mult ori vei zâmbi
de razele acelei dimineţi,
în care eu ţi-oi zice fără umbră de căinţă:
"Nu ştii, ca numa-n lacuri cu noroi în fund cresc nuferi?"
translated from Romanian by Lori Tiron-Pandit
