To welcome Autumn, an all time favourite poem by Romanian Legendary Poet Nichita Stanescu. The translation is my own.

Autumn Emotion

By Nichita Stanescu

Autumn has come, cover my heart with something

With the shadow of a tree or better with your shadow

I’m afraid I will never see you again, sometimes, 

That I’ll grow wings sharpened all the way to the clouds

That you will hide inside a foreign eye

And with an absinthe leaf will close itself goodbye

So then I get closer to stones and get silent,

I take the words and drown them in the sea,

Whistle the moon and rise it and pretend it 

Into a great big love

Emotie de Toamna

A venit toamna, acoperă-mi inima cu ceva,

Mă tem că n-am să te mai văd, uneori,

Şi-atunci mă apropii de pietre şi tac,

Enjoy!
