Sercan La Tempo

For Time

verkita de He Yafu

by Oscar Mifsud

   
Mi sercan la tempo, I look for time.
Al mi filosofisto dirin: Philosopher said to me:
Tio esan la tempo --- This is the time ----
Esinto, esanto ay esonto. Past, present and future.
   
Mi sercan esinto, I look for the past,
Sed esan pasinta esinto, But the past is gone,
Ne povan reveni, It cannot return,
Kie mi povan trovi esinto? Where can I find the past?
   
Mi sercan esanto, I look for the present,
Juste dirin "esanto", Having said "present",
Esanto isan esinto, The present becomes past,
Kie mi povan trovi esanto? Where can I find the present?
   
Mi sercan esonto, I look for the future,
Sed ne venan esonto, But the future comes not,
Esonto niam venan, The future never comes,
Kie mi povan trovi esonto? Where can I find the future?
