MY YOUTH WAS TAKEN OVER

My youth was taken over

I won't be calling back

no flower gave me cover

when darkness shade my neck.

So rarely sun was shining

through deepness of the soul

and yet -  the darkness brining

took glisten as the owl.

Thus' all the days been wasted

all clawed as sorrows pray

the sweetness never tasted

its given others pray.

The sun is moving slighter

with its ascending might

and evening getting brighter

in dimness of the night.

Go! Lightness has been killing

my eyes with tender sun

In sickness its fulfilling

befall the shadows bun.

Is lovely more the lighting

of stars than sparkling sun;

when hidden by the nighting

of barrow - let it run

Mladosti davna leta

ne kličem vas nazaj;

minil si mi brez cveta

življenja mračni maj!

Le redek žarek sinil

mi v dušo je tedaj;

še temu pa izginil

je bliskoma sijaj.

Tako, oh, dnevi tekli

mi v temni žali so

vse meni so odrekli,

kar drugim dali so.

V zaton se sonce niža

hitì, hiti na moč

in meni naglo bliža

se mrak večer in noč.

Naj! Lúči si prepolno

za mé , oj sonce, ti!

Oko je moje bolno

preveč se mi blešči.

    Bolj ljuba zvezd svetloba

 ko sonca mi sijaj

   ko skrije noč jih groba

   pa skrije mi jih naj!
