Spune Tu, Vant -

Spune tu, vânt înghețat, pe unde ai fost, pe unde-ai umblat

Prin codrii goi, pe munți și pe văi, pâraie-nghețate sub sloiuri turbate

Dacă-ai vazut pe unde-ai trecut, urme adânci, săpate în stânci

Pe creste iernite în ape-oglindite, poteci neumblate să ducă departe.

Cum zbori tu ca gândul și-nconjuri pământul, şi treci peste mări,

pustiuri și zări

Nu-mi afli pierit, dorul cernit, cu dorul în gând nu-mi aflu mormânt.

Spune tu, vânt înghețat, pe unde ai fost, pe unde-ai umblat

Prin codrii goi, pe munți și pe văi, pâraie-nghețate sub sloiuri turbate.

Să cați necurmat în lung și în lat, din zori până-n noapte, aici și departe

În soare și-n stele, în bune și rele, să nu te-odihnești, să nu zăbovești.

Spune tu, vânt înghețat, pe unde ai fost, pe unde-ai umblat

De mi-ai găsit dorul cernit, cu el în gand nu-mi aflu mormânt.

Tell Me, Ye Wind

Tell me, ye frozen wind, where you have been, wherever you’ve dinned

In yon naked groves, on bens and in coves icy flows beneath raging floes

Might you have seen wherever you’ve been deep-reaching scars carved into crags

On crests clad in winters reflected in waters, untrodden trails to faraway gales

As you fly fast like thought, round the earth taut

Passing high seas, wastelands and leas

Find it, it wilts, my yearning in weeds, it nests in my soul, I won’t find my

pall

Tell me, ye frozen wind, where you have been, wherever you’ve dinned

In yon naked groves, on bens and in coves icy flows beneath raging floes

Relentlessly stride, seek far and wide, by night and by day, here and away

In the sun and the moon, in the bad and the good, never repose, nor ever pause

Tell me, ye frozen wind, where you have been, wherever you’ve dinned

If you find it that wilts, my yearning in weeds, it’ll nest in my soul,

I won’t find my pall

You say, frozen wind, where you've been, where you've walked

Through bare woods, mountains and valleys, streams-frozen under raging ravines

If you saw where you passed, deep traces, dug into the rocks

On wintery ridges in mirrored waters, unpaved paths to take away.

How dost thou fly in the way of thy thoughts?

deserts and sights

You don't find me dead, I miss you, with longing in my mind I can't find my grave.

You say, frozen wind, where you've been, where you've walked

Through bare forests, in the mountains and in the valleys, streams-frozen under raging ravines.

To search long and wide, from dawn to dusk, here and far

In the sun and in the stars, for better or for worse, do not rest, do not linger.

You say, frozen wind, where you've been, where you've walked

If you missed me, I can't think of a grave with him in mind.

Tell Me, Ye Wind

Tell me, ye frozen wind, where you have been, wherever you’ve dinned

In a naked groves, on bens and in coves icy flows beneath raging floes

Might you have seen wherever you’ve been deep-reaching scars carved into crags

On crests clad in winters reflected in waters, untrodden trails to faraway gales

As you fly fast like thought, round the earth taut

Passing high seas, wastelands and leas

Find it, it wilts, my yearning in weeds, it nests in my soul, I won’t find mine

pall

Tell me, ye frozen wind, where you have been, wherever you’ve dinned

In a naked groves, on bens and in coves icy flows beneath raging floes

Relentlessly stride, seek far and wide, by night and by day, here and away

In the sun and the moon, in the bad and the good, never repose, nor ever pause

Tell me, ye frozen wind, where you have been, wherever you’ve dinned

If you find it that wilts, my yearning in weeds, it’ll nest in my soul,

I won’t find my pall
