OriginalStronsium 90: La poesia originale di Nâzim Hikmet
STRONTIUM 90

Last night I went to a party,
Danced so I just about passed out;
But just when the party was gayest
Some crazy guy began to shout:

Strontium, Strontium, Strontium Ninety fall-out
Will get you even underground;
Now if you want some Strontium, Strontium Ninety,
There's plenty enough to go around.

What will we get from radiation?
No necks, two necks or maybe three;
Each one will have his own mutation;
Nobody else will look like me!

Strontium, Strontium, Strontium Ninety fall-out
Will get you even underground;
Now if you want some Strontium, Strontium Ninety,
There's plenty enough to go around.

So drink to the course of evolution;
The next one may very well be you;
Clouding the air with pollution,
And we'll see you next year at the zoo!

Strontium, Strontium, Strontium Ninety fall-out
Will get you even underground;
Now if you want some Strontium, Strontium Ninety,
There's plenty enough to go around.
STRONSİUM 90

Acayipleşti havalar,
bir güneş, bir yağmur, bir kar.
Atom bombası denemelerinden diyorlar.

Stronsium 90 yağıyormuş
ota, süte, ete,
umuda, hürriyete,
kapısını çaldığımız büyük hasrete.

Kendi kendimizle yarışmadayız, gülüm.
Ya ölü yıldızlara hayatı götüreceğiz,
ya dünyamıza inecek ölüm.

(16 Mart 1958,
Varşova - Şvider)
