lyrics

Praise to Friday
(Translated by Kevin M. F. Platt)

Just arrive already, Friday evening,
give us a bit of coffee and spice
and let the slow hookah stem
stop the stiff gears of hurry.
Peace to you, laborers from Office A.
Go your ways contentedly, rattling
the keys of cars that will carry you off
to joyful Friday traffic jams—
beyond them only couches and televisions.
those who prefer the music venues’ crush,
also go for cocktails of various head-spinning essences,
yet know as well the beer draught that froths at whiskers
and tingles at lips, instigating a hunt for salty fare,
and wit about the neckline plunge of the new bartender.
Sing to us, Friday; rustle hand-rolled tobacco;
sing us the numbers of the most convivial girls,
dancing on tables like they’ve seen in cinema,
in B movies from the continent of America.
Oh Friday, I love your gaudy shadow
and the feeling of leaving unfinished tasks
for Monday, like placing a seal on a cave
with a languid dragon, hole-punch instead of maw and fangs.
I’m a modest man who toils steady and slow
each day, meekly surrendering morning and afternoon hours,
but even I can remember the Friday door slams and
happy stride down the stairs.
I too worked in my time at Office A
and tried to entertain the secretaries stationed
in solitude across from the entryway,
and at lunch break wandered the neighborhood.
Now I contemplate Friday like a city
I’ve left behind, which comes to me in dreams,
drowned in the glare of neon light
a city full of people waiting for evening to come.
