Ismail Kadare-We are strangers

Since long ago we’ve been strangers
All was to say, so far is spoken.
Just like the stones lying on land
Each one in life a place has taken.


So we have closed towards each other
All the pathways anโ€™ roads with bumps
Like two far-off medieval towns
With walls and spears as well as humps.


But when at night my weary brain
Has shut the gates high and low
You find a path to get inside
A path that only you do know.

Once you’ve entered, like in parkways
In circumvolutions you come to be.
Entering the dreams so carelessly,
Haunting anโ€™ laughing, waving at me.

But when the morning draws nearby
You start to bother high and low.
And in the silence you then get out
From the pathway only you know.


At the day break. Life starts to flow
Just like before with ups and downs
We both invincible remain cold
Like two far-off medieval towns.
