MY SWEET LAD YOU HAVE NOT BEEN LOST (GLYKE MOU ESSY DEN CHATHIKES) [Yannis Ritsos]


Yannis Ritsos

My son, what Fate has destined you and what Fate was my doom
to kindle such buming grief, such fire inside my breast?

My sweet lad, you have not been lost, you live inside my veins.
My son, flow deep into all our veins and stay for ever alive.

Translation: Amy Mims
