Oh, little falcon, where are you coursing?
Maybe carrying some news home,
What is new, what did you hear?
In that beloved country?

Oh, you partisan, son of woe,
Why are you asking for such news?
Winds are stirring in your farm,
The entire country is in sorrow.

In your farm -- uneven furrows,
Your home stands neglected,
And there far away, in between the birches
Are three new graves.

One grave -- your mother's,
Another grave -- your father's,
And the third sandy grave --
Is your youngest sister's.

Antanas Gustaitis (1907 - 1990)

PATIENCE

Youthful laugh. Cantilena.
Girls are dancing in a circle,
And I, under the feet, under the ground --
Lying, listening in silence.

Enemies tasting my wine,
Friends mocking my lines,
Foreboding even onto my ribs --
Lying, listening in silence.

And when hot young (Russian) Nastė
Sits with a man among the flowers,
I wish I could bite them
through the grass --
I lie oppressed in silence.

Antanas Gustaitis (1907 - 1990)

KANTRYBĖ

Jaunystės juokas. Kantilena.
Merginos soka rateliu, --
O as po kojom -- po velėna --
Guliu, klausausi ir tyliu.

Ragauja priesai mano vyną,
Draugai -- kvatojas is eiliu,
Rūstis net sonkaulius gaivina --
Guliu, klausausi ir tyliu.

O kai karstai mylėta Nastė
Su vyru sėdas tarp gėliu, --
Noreciau pro zoles ikasti --
Guliu uzsėstas ir tyliu.
