2005 / 1. szám - JÓZSEF ATTILA-VERSEK (ANGOL NYELVEN)-ZOLLMAN PÉTER FORDÍTÁSAI - A Dunánál

József Attila • Versek

Árpád and Zalán, Werbőczi and Dózsa —

Slavs, Mongols, Turks and other variants in me, we shall redeem the long foreclosure with gentle future — new Hungarians!

... I want to work. It's hard for human nature to make a true confession of the past.

The Danube, which is past, present and future, entwines its wavelets in a tender clasp.

Out of the blood our fathers shed in battles flows peace, through our remembrance and regard. Creating order in our common matters, this is our task. We know it will be hard.
