I was wondering if someone could help me find the Lithuanian translation of Leonardas Andriekas', Dialouge. I can only find the English version but would like to have both.

Thank you..........Aciu, Dan.

Andrius

Dan,

>where have you found that English version and is the name of the poet written correctly? Google gives nothing on this name except your >enquiry in another forum Maybe there is no Lithuanian version at all?..

OK, I've tried different names and found that the surname should be spelled "Andriekus" - he was Minoritan priest, poet etc. and he perished 3 years ago.
I'll try to find the poem itself

I know that I have asked before, but I would really love to have the original lithuanian version of this poem. I realize that there are small similarities between this text and that of one of my previous posts (help with an e-mail). I must be honest and say that this poem inspired that post, so if anyone can find it I would be in great debt and gratitude.


Poems by Leonardas Andriekus
(1914 – 2003)

DIALOGUE

We talk together
As if from two planets,
One south,
One north;
We speak
Of cursed todays
And blessed tomorrows,
We do not understand each other.

You tell me:
Look, what a clear dawn
Brightens the horizon
Of our fatherland's gloomy depths.
I say to you:
You dream! This is not dawn
But a glow
Signaling new flames will consume us.

You protest:
Enough of your theories –
Already we cannot see the full moon
Through our tears.
I reassure you:
Tonight we wash the full moon
With tears
That others tomorrow
Might see more clearly.

We talk together
As if from two planets –
All night we sit side by side
Before the same fire.
Tell me:
What separates the heavens
Of the north and south
To fork such lightning in your eyes?
