Solsortene synger
Tilegnet Milan Kundera
Solsortene synger
synger og synger
een solsorts sang
når næsten altid mindst een anden
Solsortene synger fra tag til tag
fra træ til træ
fra solsort til solsort
fra lytter til lytter
Solsortene synger over grænserne
solsortene dækker Europa
med et næsten sammenhængende net
af solsortsang
Det betyder ikke andet
end det indlysende
at solsortene synger
men det findes
Mens menneskene gennemgår
hvad de ma gennemgå
og lader andre gennemgå
hvad de ma gennemgå
synger og synger solsortene i maj
næsten uden ophold
Sådan fortsætter det
så lange det fortsætter
Solsorte synger i maj
dækket af sangen
siger nogen
det som ellers slettes.
The blackbirds are singing
Dedicated to Milan Kundera
The blackbirds are singing
singing away
one blackbird’s song
almost always reaches one other
The blackbirds are singing from roof to roof
from tree to tree
from blackbird to blackbird
from listener to listener
The blackbirds are singing beyond the borders
the blackbirds are covering Europe
with a well-nigh close-knit net
of blackbird song
This means nothing else
than the obvious fact
that the blackbirds are singing
but this exists
While humans are going through
what they must go through
and let all others go through
what they must go through
the blackbirds are singing away in May
almost continuously
That’s how it continues
for as long as it continues
Blackbirds singing in May
covered in song
someone is saying
what otherwise gets erased.
