Rmnicu-Vlcea, 2009E vreme de colind

Blocul nalt prins n zpad

E Mo Crciun venit din Cer,

Pe trupul obosit cu barba-i alb,

Copii dorii cnt i cer.

Clopotul bate cntec vechi,

Colindele cuprind oraul,Etajul trei deschide ochi

S vad-un Mo cu iepuraul.

Cumini, ferestrele s-aprind,

Din geam n geam o lumnare

Vestete vremea de colind

i bucuria ne apare,

E vreme de colind.Alexandru Dur

Imagini / ImagesThe vestigeThe light of those late nights,The sound of water in the falls,

The mountain shaped as the virgins body,

Rhymes stirred by the dew.

Reminiscences of the silent thought

Fretting the darkness ,

Day dreams lost in the grass,

The immortality of a sad smile.

The angels sleep in churches,

Unobtrusive rustle of magnolia,

Butterflies trapped in wax cages,

The accomplishment of those frail demands.

That late nights vestige.

UrmeleLumina nopilor trzii,Sunetul apei-n cascad,

Muntele cu trup de fecioar,

Versuri tulburate de rou.

Urmele gndului tcut

clipocind ntunericul ,

Reverii mpletite-n iarb,

Nemurirea zmbetului trist.

ngerii dorm n biserici,

Fonet discret de magnolii,

Fluturi n lacrimi de cear,

ntlnirea firavelor cereri.

Urmele nopii trzii.

RecollectionsChildhood animated by life itself,Hoarfrost during late autumn,

Fruits alike the virgins eyes

Picked by the holy hand.

The brides castle in a fairytale

Opens the silence gate,

The princess in her fir veil

Wakes up the glow worms in the darkness.

Clusters full of drop tears

Chime the treachery bell,

Recollections about a metropolis

Far away from childhood.

AmintiriCopilrie luminat de via,Brum de toamn trzie,

Poame cu ochi de fecioar

Culese de mna divin.

Palatul miresei din basm

Deschide poarta tcerii,

Prinesa-n voalul de brad

Trezete licuricii-ntuneric.

Ciorchini cu lacrimi pe buze

Trag clopotul trdrii,

Amintiri duse-n metropol,

Departe de copilrie.

The cityThe city lost in the darknessKeeps company to the silent mountain,

Buildings surrounded by black smog

Subsist in the deep dust.

The hope in those forgotten tales,

The life of sad realities,

The mist of the black smog,

The city of an ephemeral life.

OraulOraul prsit de luminVorbete muntelui tcut,

Blocuri n negru de fum

Triesc ngropate-n rn.

Ndejdea basmelor uitate,

Viaa tristelor realiti,

Pcla negrului de fum,

Oraul vieii efemere.

ImagesImages engraved in the stone,Covered by the historys lid,

Walls painted in ochre,

The noise of modern technology.

The sacred fire in mural paintings,

The secret of the cloudy sky.

Abraham raises his hand,

Blessing the promised Son.

Images engraved in the stone,

Man the crown of holy creation.

The lightThe light of heavenly fireconsumed by faith

Reaches the Adamic darkness,

Sand dunes in an oasis.

The nights face in the Heaven,

The Prophet Moses pyre,

The light of heavenly fire,

The promised Land.

LuminaLumina focului cerescmistuit de credin

I questThe man fallen in the dust,Having the look of an winged angel

Collapsed in bloody light,

The Christian Europe fades away

The man fallen in the dust,

The metropolis runs away from You.

But until when?...

CautOmul czut n rn,Privirea de nger naripat

Prbuit n snge de lumin,

Europa cretin dispare

Omul czut n rn,

Fuga metropolei de Tine.

Dar pn cnd?...

The black manEmpty lifeThe black man, a migratory,

The salt from the Red Sea.

The rock comforted by water,

Those migratory ancestors camel.

The black man is like a salt clod,

The Assai lake dries the time ,

Empty life

The beginning of the third millennium.

Omul negruViaa aridOmul negru, tribu afar,

Sarea din Marea Roie.

Jordan River on the prophets lips,

The mystery of theophany ,

Jesus in the light of waters.

Near the bent olive tree

Peter has cried.

Dead Sea was born

from the chosen peoples tears.

The sweet water of Jordan ,

Holy water for the kin.

The myrrh of the prayer

in the salt water of Dead Sea.

Kalahari DesertKalahari Desert,Metropolis pervaded by savanna,A bushman incriminated by modernity,

Oryx antelopes frightened by mongooses,

Grass crushed by animals,

The sand which became buildings.

The Kalahari Desert

conquers the metropolis.

Deertul KalahariDeertul KalahariMetropola strivit de savan,

Boiman nvinuit de modernitate,

Antilope Oryx speriate de manguste,

Iarba clcat de feline,

Nisipul devenit blocuri.

The nightFrozen snow in the night,bitten by frost

Bushes in total silence,

Mind stirred by mystery.

Hard winter night,

Stag chased in the desert,

Starved wolves traces.

The winter light dims

in a century lacking love.

NoapteaNoaptea zpada-ngheat,ameit de ger

Arbuti n linite adevrat,

Munte tulburat de mister.

Noapte de iarn ncercat,

Cerb hituit n pustiu,

Urme de lupi hmesii.

Lumina de iarn stinge

Secolul prsit de iubire.The imageThe soul during the vigil,Profane golden amphora,

Defies the oasis of light

Destroyed by fire wings.

Planes crashed on the rocks

Among feathers of wounded eagles,

Trees cut by the axes

End the frail repentance.

The soul during the vigil,

The beginning of a decayed millennium.

Curm firava cin.

Suflet purtat n priveghe,

nceput de mileniu pierdut.The pyramidsThe beautiful earth pyramids in Ritten,A shadow for the cloudy sky,

The pillars made of dried clay,

A statue for lost legends.

Strange stone hats,

Shades of red balm,

The eye surprised by the pillars,

The beautiful earth pyramids in Ritten.

PiramidelePiramidele coafate din Ritten,Umbra cerului noros,

Pilatrii lutului retras,

Ochiul uimit de pilatrii,

Piramidele coafate din Ritten.

The caveThe waterfalls hitting the rocksMelt the rime on the forehead,

The deepness lighted by glow lamps,

Stalagmites as figures in the fairy tales.

Columns chiseled in the ceiling,

Ice walls on the mountains.

Frozen waterfalls, gigantic icicles,

The scientists look on his face.

PeteraCascade lovite de stncTopesc chiciura pe frunte,

KamceatkaThe lava drops firein the smoldering water,

The big Kamceatka Lake

covers the tundra with foam.

Birches with golden leaves,

Bears without any burden,

Hills full of birds,

Hot vapors coming from geysers.

The volcano fuming its lava

On the wild coast of the tundra.

KamceatkaLava revars foculn apa mocnind,

Marele lac Kamceatka

Vulcanul fumeg lava

Pe rmul slbatic din tundr.

Mount FujiMount Fuji gets the honors,The spirits climb the massive mountain,

The sunrise is about to start.

The snowy peak opens the dome

of the lonely crater,

Stirring the traces left by the atoms at Hiroshima.

The azaleas bloom

on the Nippom virgins breast.

It is only the scrub in the wind

Benting towards Honshu Island.

It is spring on mount Fuji.

Muntele FujiMuntele Fuji primete onorul,Spiritele urc masivul ,

Urmeaz rsritul de soare.

Guilin hillsGuilin hills overlook Chinasince August to October.The cinnamons smell spreads in the city

among yellow limestone flowers.

The fishermen trouble the peace of the river

covered by the holy fog.

The cormorants flutter

the waves.

The Heavens King has petrified

the elephant exhausted by work.

The Li River follows the eternity paths,

Guilin hills overlook China

in the third millennium.

of the wild canyon.

The roof of the sky-scrapers changes

the summer days atmosphere.

The striated rocks sweeping the mountain peaks,

defy the snakes in the desert.

The modern technology reminds of moon colonization.

Lincolns voice can be heard from the deep

The dream of the Grand Canyon.

Marele CanionMarele Canion oprete istoria Americiiaproape de Fluviul Colorado

InhabitantInhabitant of the metropolis,The soul of modern technology

Feeding with the crumbs

of the third millennium ,

Away from you, Adonai.

The metropolis flood by tears

Scattered by angels,

Stuck in repentance.

The sinful face or this millennium,

The man without faith.

The CarpathiansRocks weathered by time,The history you have lived so far,

Realms colored in the light

of that holy dream: freedom.

The Carpathians dip the heart

in Your Sons blood, Elohim!

Near the shore,

From fir rafts doinas are sung to Europe,

Zamolxis sacrifices his son.

Munii CarpaiRoci mcinate de timp,Istoria trit de tine,

Plaiuri colorate-n lumina

Plute de brad doinesc Europa,
