LA STEAUA UNTO THE STAR
La steaua care-a rasarit Unto the star that just arose
E o cale-atit de lunga There's such an endless way,
Ca mii de ani i-au trebuit That many a thousand years goes
Luminii sa ne-ajunga For light to reach our eye
Poate de mult s-a stins in drum Perhaps it vanished long ago
In departari albastre Within the distant blue
Dar raza ei abia acum But only now her lonely glow
Luci vederii noastre To our sight came through
Icoana stelei ce-a murit The icon of the star that died
Incet pe cer se suie Slowly the vault ascended
Era pe cind nu s-a zarit It was when to our sight denied
Azi o vedem si nu e What we see now is ended
Tot astfel cind al nostru dor, Likewise when our life's desire,
Pieri in noapte-adanca, Vanished in the deep night,
Lumina stinsului amor, The glow of love's quenched fire
Ne urmareste inca. Pursues us in our plight.
Mihai Eminescu Translation
