Joyce: Música de cambra XXXIV

Munch 1906

Sleep now, O sleep now,
O you unquiet heart!
A voice crying "Sleep now"
Is heard in my heart.

The voice of the winter
Is heard at the door.
O sleep, for the winter
Is crying "Sleep no more."

My kiss will give peace now
And quiet to your heart—
Sleep on in peace now,
O you unquiet heart!

Possible traducció:

Ara dorm, oh, ara dorm,

oh tu, cor inquiet!

Una veu que crida “Ara dorm!”

se sent al meu cor.

La veu de l'hivern

se sent a la porta.

Oh, dorm, perquè l'hivern

crida “No dormis més!”

Ara el meu petó donarà pau

i quietud al teu cor.

Segueix dormint en pau ara,
oh tu, cor inquiet!
