C.P. Cavafy - Monotony

Monotony

On one monotone day one more
monotone, indistinct day follows.  The same
things will happen, then recur
moments all alike come upon us, and go away.
 
One month passes bringing one month more.
What comes next is easy enough to know:
the boredom from the day before.
And tomorrows got to where it seems like no tomorrow.

Translated by Daniel Mendelsohn

Μονοτονία

Την μια μονότονην ημέραν άλλη
μονότονη, απαράλλακτη ακολουθεί. Θα γίνουν
τα ίδια πράγματα. θα ξαναγίνουν πάλι
η όμοιες στιγμές μας...
