Dylan Thomas: A Refusal To Mourn The Death, By Fire, Of A Child In London (English)

 
Never until the mankind making 
Bird beast and flower 
Fathering and all humbling darkness 
Tells with silence the last light breaking 
And the still hour 
Is come of the sea tumbling in harness 

And I must enter again the round 
Zion of the water bead 
And the synagogue of the ear of corn 
Shall I let pray the shadow of a sound 
Or sow my salt seed 
In the least valley of sackcloth to mourn 

The majesty and burning of the child's death. 
I shall not murder 
The mankind of her going with a grave truth 
Nor blaspheme down the stations of the breath 
With any further 
Elegy of innocence and youth. 

Deep with the first dead lies London's daughter, 
Robed in the long friends, 
The grains beyond age, the dark veins of her mother, 
Secret by the unmourning water 
Of the riding Thames. 
After the first death, there is no other.

Dylan Thomas: Un Refus Pour pleurer La Mort, Par Fire, D'un Enfant À (French)

Londres 

Jamais jusqu'à ce que l'humanité faisant la bête et la fleur 
d'oiseau engendrant et toute l'obscurité humiliante dise avec le 
silence la dernière lumière se cassant et l'heure immobile est venue 
de la mer la culbute dans le harnais 

Et je dois entrer dans encore le Zion rond de la perle de l'eau et la 
synagogue de l'épi de blé  j'a laissé prier l'ombre d'un bruit ou 
semer ma graine de sel dans la moindre vallée de la toile à sac pour 
pleurer 

La majesté et la brûlure de la mort de l'enfant. Je n'assassinerai 
pas l'humanité d'elle allant de pair avec une vérité ni un 
blaspheme grave en bas des stations du souffle avec toute autre 
élégie de l'innocence et de la jeunesse. 

Profondément avec de première la fille Londres morte de mensonges, 
Robed dans les longs amis, les grains au delà de l'âge, les veines 
foncées de sa mère, secret par l'eau unmourning de l'équitation la 
Tamise. Après la première mort, il n'y a aucun autre.

Dylan Thomas: Eine Ablehnung, Zum Des Todes, Durch Fire, Eines Kindes (German)

In London Zu beklagen 

Nie, bis die Menschheit, die das Vogeltier und -blume hervorbringen 
und alle humbling Schwärzung bildet, mit Ruhe das letzte brechende 
Licht erklärt und die ruhige Stunde wird vom Meer die 
Taumelschwingung in Kabelstrang gekommen 

Und ich muß das runde Zion des Wasserkornes wieder betreten und die 
Synagoge der Kornähre soll ich ließ den Schatten eines Tones 
beten oder meinen Salzsamen in der wenigen Senke des Sackleinens 
säen, um zu beklagen 

Die Majestät und das Brennen des Todes des Kindes. Ich ermorde nicht 
die Menschheit von ihr gehend mit einer ernsten Wahrheit noch einem 
blaspheme hinunter die Stationen des Atems mit irgendeiner weiteren 
Elegie von Unschuld und von Jugend. 

Tief mit der ersten toten Tochter des Lügen Londons, Robed in den 
langen Freunden, die Körner über Alter hinaus, die dunklen Adern 
ihrer Mutter, Geheimnis durch das unmourning Wasser des Reitens 
Themse. Nach dem ersten Tod gibt es kein anderes.

Dylan Thomas: Uma Recusa Para mourn A Morte, Por Fogo, De uma Criança (Portuguese)

Em Londres 

Nunca até que a humanidade que faz a besta e a flor do pássaro que 
genam e toda a escuridão humbling diga com silêncio a última luz 
que quebra e a hora imóvel é vindo do mar cair no chicote de 
fios 

E eu devo entrar outra vez no Zion redondo do grânulo da água e o 
synagogue da orelha de milho deve mim deixou para pray a sombra de um 
som ou para semear minha semente de sal em menos vale do sackcloth 
para mourn 

O majesty e a queimadura da morte da criança. Eu não assassinarei a 
humanidade dela que vai com uma verdade nem um blaspheme grave abaixo 
as estações da respiração com nenhum elegy mais adicional do 
innocence e da juventude. 

Profundamente com a filha da primeira Londres inoperante das mentiras, 
Robed nos amigos longos, as grões além da idade, as veias escuras de 
sua mãe, segredo pela água unmourning da equitação Tamisa. Após a 
primeira morte, não há nenhum outro.

Dylan Thomas: Una Denegación Para estar de luto La Muerte, Por Fire, (Spanish)

De un Niño En Londres 

Nunca hasta que la humanidad que hace la bestia y la flor del pájaro 
que engendran y toda la oscuridad que humilla dice con silencio la luz 
pasada que se rompe y la hora inmóvil se viene del mar el caer en 
arnés 

Y debo entrar en otra vez el Zion redondo del grano del agua y la 
sinagoga de la espiga de trigo  yo dejó para rogar la sombra de un 
sonido o para sembrar mi semilla de la sal en el menos valle de la 
harpillera para estar de luto 

La majestad y el quemarse de la muerte del niño. No asesinaré a 
humanidad de ella que va con una verdad ni un blaspheme grave abajo de 
las estaciones de la respiración con cualquier elegy más otro de la 
inocencia y de la juventud. 

Profundamente con la hija del primer Londres muerto de las mentiras, 
Robed en los amigos largos, los granos más allá de la edad, las 
venas oscuras de su madre, secreto por el agua unmourning del montar a 
caballo Thames. Después de la primera muerte, no hay otro.
