about

Spoken word by Paul Celan
taken from a recording of Celan reading his poem PSALM
(1963)

PSALM

Niemand knetet uns wieder aus Erde und Lehm,
Niemand bespricht unseren Staub.
Niemand.

Gelobt seist du, Niemand.
Dir zulieb
wollenwir blühn.
Dir
entgegen.

Ein Nichts
waren wir, sind wir, werden
wir bleiben, blühend:
die Nichts-, die
Niemandsrose

Mit
dem Griffel seelenhell,
dem Staubfaden himmelswüst,
der Krone rot
vom Purpurwort, das wir sangen
über, o über
dem Dorn.

------ English version------

Psalm
(as translated by John Felstiner)

No one kneads us again out of earth and clay,
no one incants our dust.
No one.

Blessèd art thou, No One.
In thy sight would
we bloom.
In thy
spite.

A Nothing
we were, are now, and ever
shall be, blooming:
the Nothing-, the
No-One's-Rose.

With
our pistil soul-bright,
our stamen heaven-waste,
our corona red
from the purpleword we sang
over, O over
the thorn.

lyrics

Eminiert
in keimendem Niemals
Unvergessen
in traumlosen Gletscherschlaf
Wird es dem Nichts
aus den Rippen geschnitten

Die Leere tritt aus, zerrinnt und lichtet sich

An Stelle des Vakuums
tritt Schwermut & Elend
Der erste Laut
ein Wehklagen

Allein mit der Schwere
Hyliker im Sonnengrab
Scharrt nach den Beigaben
Stapelt Stein, Fels, Findling

Thronend auf dem Schweigeturm
missratener Säulen
Schmückt sich mit Unnamen
Schreibt sich ins Gestirn

Erhoben zum Höchsten des Niederen
Benennt es Ödnis zum Thronsaal
In Herrschsucht über die Himmelsbrache
Gebietet es in euphorischer Abscheu

Aus Verbitterung und Eiskummer
Siecht es im Hechalot
lebloser Marmorhallen
und entinnert sich

Nichts kehrt wieder
Das Nichts kehrt wieder

-English translation-

Emanated
in germinating neverness
Unforgotten
In dreamless glacier-sleep
It is being cut
from the ribs of nothingness

The emptiness spills, melts and clears

In place of the vacuum
steps melancholy & misery
The first sound
a lamentation

Singular severity
Hylic in the sun-tomb
Scraping for grave goods
Stacking stone, rock, boulder

Enthroned on the silent tower
of misshapen columns
Adorning itself with un-names
writing itself into the stars

Elevated to the highest of the nether
Naming the wasteland a throne room
In domination over the barren heavens
Ruling in euphoric abhorrence

In bitterness and ice-sorrow
ailing in the Hechalot
of lifeless marble halls
it obliterates itself

Nothing returns
The Nothing return
