Go ahead! Assault the space, <br />Tear up the tangles of your fate. <br />Your diligence will bear fruit, <br />If you’re kind to the untrue mate… <br /> <br />So what if he betrays you, <br />So what if he sets a trap! <br />You just soothe and console him, <br />Think him your “devoted friend.” <br /> <br />Come on! Assault the space, <br />Cheer up a coward and a weakling. <br />So what if he disappoints you, <br />And to your wounded shoulder he clings! <br /> <br />Go ahead! Assault the space… tell the sneak <br />You see his point… Be wise. <br />Tell him you know he was crushed by force <br />When they made him tell lies. <br /> <br />What so if he tells on you once more, <br />If he again lays fault at your door! <br />Some day he may be sorry, of course, <br />He may suffer the pangs of remorse… <br /> <br />Go ahead! Some day, all the treason <br />Shall be justified… mercy wins… <br />Each alibi will seem transparent, <br />“Forgive” will spread its wings… <br /> <br />Come on, and pierce the space, <br />And your grief will go sluggish… <br />The heart is still frank and sincere… <br />The respect for “fists” will flourish… <br /> <br />22.02.2002 <br /> <br />Translated from Georgian<br /><br />Janri Gogeshvili<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/go-ahead-2/
