Wislawa Szymborska: "We used to know the world inside out"
We used to know the world inside out:
It was so small that it fit into two clenched fists,
So easy, that it could be described with a smile,
As ordinary as the echo of old truths in a prayer.
History did not greet us with a victorious fanfare:
It poured dirty sand into our eyes.
Before us there were roads, distant and blind,
Poisoned wells, bitter bread.
Our war loot was information about the world:
It is so big that it fits into two clenched fists,
So difficult that it can be described with a smile,
As strange as the echo of old truths in a prayer.
Wislawa Szymborska (1923-2012): "We used to know the world inside out", uncollected poem from Walka / Battle (no. 8), 1945, as cited in Wislawa Szymborska - The Poetry of Existence: Krystyna Dąbrowska, Culture.Pl, December 2007, translated from the Polish by Tadeusz Z. Wolański

ReplyDeleteI tried this...so beautiful!
Conocíamos el mundo al revés:
Era tan pequeño que calzaba en dos puños cerrados
Tan fácil, que podía ser descrito con una sonrisa
Tan normal como el eco de las antiguas verdades en una plegaria.
La Historia no nos saludó con una victoriosa algarabía:
Vertió arena sucia en nuestros ojos.
Delante de nosotros había caminos, lejanos y ciegos,
Pozos envenenados, pan amargo.
El botín de nuestra guerra fue información acerca del mundo:
Es tan grande que calza en dos puños cerrados,
Tan difícil que puede ser descrito con una sonrisa,
Tan extraño como el eco de las antiguas verdades en una plegaria.
