Υπάρχει ένα μπλε πουλί στην καρδιά μου
που θέλει να βγει
αλλά είμαι πάρα πολύ σκληρός για εκείνο
Του λέω, μείνε εκεί μέσα, δεν πρόκειται ν’ αφήσω
κανένα να σε δει.

Υπάρχει ένα μπλε πουλί στην καρδιά μου
που θέλει να βγει έξω,
αλλά είμαι πολύ έξυπνος, το άφησα να βγει μερικές φορές
αλλά μόνο τη νύχτα
όταν όλοι κοιμούνται.
Του λέω, το ξέρω πως είσαι εκεί,
γι' αυτό μην είσαι
λυπημένο.
Αργότερα το ξανάβαλα μέσα,
αλλ' εκείνο τραγουδάει λιγάκι
εκεί πέρα, δεν θα το αφήσω ακόμη να πεθάνει
και κοιμόμαστε μαζί έτσι απλά
με τη μυστική συμφωνία μας
και είναι αρκετά συμπαθητικό
να κάνετε έναν άνθρωπο
να κλάψει,
όμως εγώ
δεν κλαίω,
εσείς;
CHARLES BUKOWSKI, "Bluebird" (απόσπασμα)
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too tough for him,
I say, stay in there, I'm not going
to let anybody see
you.
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I pour whiskey on him and inhale
cigarette smoke
and the whores and the bartenders
and the grocery clerks
never know that
he's
in there.
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too tough for him,
I say,
stay down, do you want to mess
me up?
you want to screw up the
works?
you want to blow my book sales in
Europe?
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too clever, I only let him out
at night sometimes
when everybody's asleep.
I say, I know that you're there,
so don't be
sad.
then I put him back,
but he's singing a little
in there, I haven't quite let him
die
and we sleep together like
that
with our
secret pact
and it's nice enough to
make a man
weep, but I don't
weep, do
you?
