1, If Life Deceives You
Pushkin (Russia)
If life deceives you, don't be sad and impatient!
You need to keep calm on a blue day.
Believe it, happy days will come!
The heart always yearns for the future; I am often depressed now.
Everything is instantaneous, and everything will pass; And what has passed will become a kind of nostalgia.
2. "When you are old"
William Butler Yeats (Ireland)
When you are old, gray-haired and sleepy.
Tired of sitting by the fire, take down this book.
Read slowly, chasing the eyes of the year.
Your soft eyes and deep aura.
How many people loved your flash in the pan.
Love your beauty, hypocrisy or truth.
Only one person loved your pilgrim heart.
Love the scars of years on your sad face.
Bend over the hood.
Worry and meditate, mumble.
How love dies, how to step on the mountain.
How to hide your face among the stars?
3. Love at first sight
Sin Posca (Poland)
They believed in each other, and it was the passion of generate that made them meet in an instant.
This certainty is beautiful, but it is not sure that it is better.
They have never met, so they are sure that they have nothing to do with each other. However, words came from streets, stairs and halls.
They may have passed by, a million times, right?
I want to ask them if they still remember the moment when they met face to face at the revolving door.
Or mumbling "sorry" in the crowd?
Or the "wrong number" on the other end of the phone?
However, I already know the answer.
No, they don't remember.
They will be surprised that fate has teased them for years.
When the time is not ripe, it becomes their destiny. Fate pushed them closer and drove them away.
Get in their way, stop laughing, and then stand aside.
4. "Zhi"
Shelley (UK)
One word is often profaned.
I won't blaspheme again.
There is a feeling that people pretend to despise.
And you won't be contemptuous anymore.
There is a hope that seems too desperate.
There is no need to be vigilant.
Your compassion is unparalleled.
It warms my heart.
I can't give you what people call love.
But I don't know if you can accept it.
This heart admires you.
Even the heavens will not refuse.
Like a moth to a fire.
When the night chases the dawn.
This desire.
I have jumped out of human suffering.
5. Train
Tarangi (Turkey)
Where are you going? It's so late.
Beautiful train, lonely train?
Sorrow is the sound of your whistle.
Reminds people of many things.
Why shouldn't I wave and dance with a towel?
Passengers have something to do with me more or less.
Go ahead. I hope you have a safe trip.
The bridge is solid and the tunnel is bright.
6. Youth
Aleixandre (Spain)
You come and go gently, from one road to another.
You appeared, and then you disappeared.
From one bridge to another.
The pace is very short, and the glory of joy has faded.
Youth may be me, watching the river go by.
On the surface of the mirror, your whereabouts flow disappears again.
