Rajko �uric: The Moon (From Romani)

The Moon
By Rajko �uric
Translated by A.Z. Foreman

The sobs rise

If the moon loses her sight
and our eyes open wide,
Who then will be able to tell
where the wing of weeping
and the wing of laughing

The Original:

O Chonut

O chonut asal
amen
trujal e jag
rovas
O rovipe uravel
o asape mekhlol tele
O d'el khandel p-o rovipe
amen p-o asape
Te o chonut rorrav�la
te amen dikh�sa
kon vakar�la
Kaj e phak rovimasqe
thaj e asamasqe
ka arakhandon
