Čierne noci from Joy by NINA ROSA

Čierny oheň, čierna zem,
únavou už nevládzem.
Moje kroky telu vládnu,
započali cestu dávnu.

Čierna hora, čierna hmla,
hviezda do tmy votkaná,
ako sila, ktorou kráčam,
zore farby porozmáča.

Biele viečka, biele tmy,
kúdoľ priadze zmotaný.
Ako sama veriť mám
ceste, ktorú nepoznám.

Biely oheň, biely ľan,
krvou z rána postieľam.
Teraz spolu cestu máme,
kúdoľ priadze rozmotáme.

English translation:


Black fire, black earth,
I am powerless from exhaustion.
My steps command my body—
they began a journey long ago.

Black mountain, black mist,
a star woven into darkness,
like the force by which I walk—
dawning colors dissolving into shadow.

White eyelids, white darkness,
a tangle of yarn wound tight.
How am I to believe
in a path I cannot see?

White fire, white flax,
I prepare the morning with blood.
Now we share the journey,
unraveling the tangle of yarn.
