Ol' Ant vs. Oleg Antonić | O, Lone – (u zdencima tišine)

 

(u zdencima tišine)

Lizne me grom

praznine;

smrzne me kȍm

taštine,

pogled u pod

za olovni svod,

bezglasni jal

za sablasni bal

kroz prijetvorni mir

tišine.

Usvojim lijes

blizine.

Ubirem vrijes

nigdine.

Može li prag

raskriliti trag?

Nije li jaz

ta šansa za gaz

u proziran vir

nutrine?

*

Lijer pod lijer je spas!

Nek' svenu dvojbe!

Trn je svijetu crn

naš smiješni bijes¡

Lijer jest iskren glas

i kad smo fojbe

za dan kad bjesmo strn

pred stvarni ples.

*

Strašan je zvon

praznine.

Zajašim ton

suštine.

Prvotni sram

u radosni plam;

trajati sam baš taj kad je ham;

zdencima

znam

tišine

tiještiti      gram

dubine

misliti slap sasnuti

kap

snositi slom

ba

le

ri

ne

* Tekst posuđuje motiv iz pjesme Paula Simona „The Sound of Silence“ (Columbia, 1965.). Nastao je s glazbom u mislima, slijedeći ponešto prilagođenu melodiju pjesme „I'm a Fool to Want You“ (Joel Herron, Frank Sinatra & Jack Wolf; 1951.), uz preplitanje a capella izvedbe sedmogodišnje Angeline Jordan (Norske Talenter, 2014.) i one sudbinske (Columbia, 1959.) od Billie Holiday (na naslovnoj slici).

(Oleg Antonić)

O, Lone

O, Lone, don't be down with silence.

Why don't you gown compliance?

Not of any kind; but such when your mind

may stop to stray and seize the way

able to thole through silence.

O, Lone, when you drown in silence,

why don't you crown reliance,

honing the sound of your inner ground

(a fragile soul of wounded Whole)

drilled by the wells of silence?

*

O, Lone, fondle cold bones fallen from silence.

Sense how senseless was their crystal stance.

Don't mourn; just tell - it's gone, and bell: Alliance!

Numb clowns are longing for a decent dance...

*

O, Lone! Entomb a moan of silence.

Bong on these tones: Alliance!

Use your precious voice for one single choice

if, even gloomed, you wish not be doomed

living without reliance,

drowning in blind compliance;

be brave and chime through this fearful time;

don't leave my bones

in silence.
