Þúle

Notes

Into wintry air I stride
through the door, from the inside;
just so, breath escapes the lips
that were keeping it in grips.

Extra

A translation into Dutch: (ADEM)

De deur uit in de ochtendstond,
naar buiten in de winterkou;
zoals de warme lucht mijn mond
die opent ook ontvluchten zou.

Out the door at early morning,
to outside in the winter cold;
like the warm air that would
escape my mouth when it opens.

Ránatar/Maivandion on VL provided a translation into Russian: (ДЫХАНИЕ)

Только выйдешь ты в мороз,
Снежный разгрести занос -
Твоё зимнее дыхание
Как души во тьме прощание.

If you will just go out into the cold
to clear the snowdrift,
your winter breath
like the farewell of soul in the darkness.
