Crown of Thorns

Crown of Thorns            

A trace of thorns you are 
on my body,
I am an eternal traveller, 
never stopping.

You are the bitter predicament 
of my comfort,
Traces of sensual pleasures -
The mist of a veil is 
my constant reminder.

You wound the stubble of my heartly thorns,
I stand alone on the dusty conflagration
Gazing towards an endless void,
I am bridled with the burning pain of the
thorns...

My gaze tirelessly roves,
Prickly are the thorns,
With malediction entwined...

I am drowning in a sweaty torrent,
I am plunging into thorny depths,
bloody and overworked 
from the struggle,
I yield myself to 
the decision of fate.

Miserere - God Have Mercy On Me

Night after night,
 the hassock in my room,
 the only safe haven
 against the bale anguish of times
 reminding me of happiness gone by...

 Worn from kneeling,
 furrowed from wepping and sighing,
 the purple velvet still carries traces
 of time impressed with the Lord´s prayers...

Above, a crucifix in the wrath of God
reminds me of my insignificance...
My feeble and quiverving hands
are joined together,
convulsively around a rosary,

Hopelessly rising towards Thee
begging your -
Miserere, Domine!

Spring

Spring   
 
Spring is being born
in the early morning...
The glades are awakening
into gentle green,
The dawn songs of
bashful blackbirds
Are echoing through
the woods...

I am listening to the warbling
of blackbirds,
The harmonic singing
of black choirs
Lead by an
invisible conductor.

The chattering of
the blackbirds' chorus
Is getting ever louder
And now uttering their
songs are others too.

A heavenly melody of
birds' choirs
has emerged
Which - off the slopes
of a forest glade -

Echoes in the pleasant
Symphony of a
blissful morning. 

TRANSLATION FROM SINTI /GYPSY 

Milaiy  
  
Milaiy biyanelpe 
teharinasa ko dive,
ushtel hem pravelpe dive
sar baiyrola kham,

ashunelpes khurlo zorale
e chyiriklenghero o ladjutno,
kaiy ashunelpe lenghoro
khurlo khem khi vosh...

Ashunaw chirklenghero ghyliavybe,
kydimo djal khalenghero khurlo,
khay legarolen lenghoro
bashaldo khurlo.

Marinduy o muy ykhalen ghylialia,
sar synfonia kana si khydimi,
mai but zurali, mai but pho zurali.

Chiriklenghri gylii khay ashunelpes
lenghoro khurlo.
Sar edevleskheri ghilii,

sar ashunes maj baro baro synfonia,
chirklenghoro ashunelpe sar
devleskheri ghilii,
synfonia kydimi e Devlestar.

Fatherland

Fatherland          

I have no home, no fatherland,
I am a soldier with no weapons,
No worldly goods can tie me down,
My paths lead me into distances grey.

Trenches are my bed,
The starry skies of the universe
Will cover me when nights are cold.

I shall write invisible letters
On clouds of cigarette smoke
And remember times full of grace
When groves were awakening in spring;

Only memories remain there,
The tranquility of souls will not decay.
Bitter thoughts have built barriers,
Fields will bleed in spasms -
A safe haven for a hero of the fatherland.

God Almighty

God Almighty              

Oh God, before Thee 
on my knees
I fall in hopelessness 
of my soul!

The chain's ring is squeezing 
and suffocating me,
The mark of a wound 
from sombre fetters
Restrain the freedom 
of my soul...

Dreadfully dark is this night...
Gloriously in the tabernacle you dwell,
Commanding troops of angels 
for ever and ever,

Send me help,
Give me an elixir,
So I can walk loyally on the path
That leads me to paradise
in heaven.

Full of thorns and vain hopes 
are the paths,
That today are the failings 
of mankind,

Gazing onto your 
almightiness,

I shall break the fetters 
of my soul
And banish the darkness 
and fear into
infinity...
