Blue, blue, blue...

[Hélène LAGACHE]

The French Post Office has just issued a new series of stamps on the theme of blue in art. I think someone here will appreciate them...:-)

Thank you, Ilya. I was able to translate it. I guess you don't have access to some of the websites I use. Very beautiful poem. There are so many about this colour. We should start a group: poems from your country :-)

Nice🤩.

Malheureusement, je n'ai pas pu trouver la traduction française de ce poème. L'original est en russe, c'est un poème très célèbre de Pasternak. Ce n'est pas original, Pasternak a traduit l'œuvre du poète géorgien Baratashvili en russe. Détails ici:

The Color Blue

Blue, the color of the skies,
Was the first I recognized
Blue, its mystery beguiled
The pure senses of a child.

Even now, when I am close
To my infinite repose,
When my final debts are due,
My devotion is to blue.

Blue — I see a magic spell
In your eyes — those two bluebells;
Their depth is a delight
Like the azure of the tide.

It's the color of my dreams,
Of elusive starry streams,
It has flown around the Earth
Since the moment of her birth.

And my soul will be immersed
In the cyan universe.
When they say the last farewell
To my mundane mortal shell.

Snowflakes fall from hazy skies
Turning into thin blue ice;
It will make a glossy frame
On the tomb around my name.
