Som led i vort samarbejde med de bulgarske haikudigtere, oversatte vi på et møde nogle udvalgte haiku fra den bulgarske antologi ”Mirrors”, der er udgivet af LLR publishers Sofia 2005 og redigeret af Ludmila Balabanova.

Det er de seks haiku afsnittet med samme navn, som bogen udgør. I ”Mirrors” gengives de bulgarske haiku også på engelsk og fransk. Jeg præsenterer her haikuerne på engelsk med danske oversættelser.

Green everywhere…                                                          Grønt overalt

New and newer trees                                                         træer spirer og gror

spring from the river                                                           frem af floden

Antoaneta Nikolova                                                        Bjarne Kim Pedersen

After the stone                                                                      En sten igennem vinduet

against the pane -                                                                afslører et solrigt

sunny cobweb on the wall.                                                   edderkoppespind

Zdravko Karakehayov                                                           Kate Larsen

Polishing clean-                                                                       Blank poleret

only the spots of her reflection                                               Kun hendes egen reflection

are left                                                                                       tilbage                                   

Ekaterina Yosifova                                                              Ulla Conrad

Upon his breath                                                                        På hans ånde

on the window                                                                           mod vinduet

a kid is drawing the sun                                                           tegner en dreng solen

Coming out of the museum                                                     På vej fra museet

I’m wearing                                                                                bryder mine læber ud

an Ionian smile                                                                           i et jonisk smil

Raina Sotirova                                                                         Ann Mari Urwald

A shadow                                                                                    En skygge

is crossing the mirror                                                                 løber hen over spejlet

No change in the room.                                                             Rummet uændret.
