My People (Langston Hughes)-Μεταφρ: Μίνα Παπανικολάου



My People (Langston Hughes)
Stcakpole Peter- Black and White Children playing at school playard


The night is beautiful,
So the faces of my people.
The stars are beautiful,
So the eyes of my people
Beautiful, also, is the sun.
Beautiful, also, are the souls of my people.



Οι άνθρωποί μου

Μετάφραση: Μίνα Παπανικολάου



Η νύχτα είναι ωραία.
Το ίδιο και τα πρόσωπα των ανθρώπων μου.
Τ΄αστέρια είναι ωραία.
Το ίδιο και τα μάτια των ανθρώπων μου.
Ωραίος, επίσης, είναι κι ο ήλιος.
Ωραίες, επίσης, είναι και οι ψυχές των ανθρώπων μου.
