Unde-s nebunii? \/ Where are the madmen?<\/p>\n

Unde-s nebunii, unde ni-s nebunii?
\nE, Doamne, lumea plin\u0103 de cumin\u0163i,
\nE plin p\u0103m\u00e2ntul de martiri \u015fi sfin\u0163i
\nAtin\u015fi de filoxera-n\u021belepciunii.<\/p>\n

T\u0103cuta-i gloata de-n\u021belep\u021bi ca sfinxul
\n\u00cen fa\u0163a lumii \u015fi-a nem\u0103rginirii
\n\u015ei-ascult\u0103tor de r\u00e2nduiala firii,
\nCu un pl\u0103van \u00een jug trude\u015fte insul.<\/p>\n

Sc\u00e2ncesc cumin\u021bii-n chingile durerii
\n\u015ei, s\u00e2nger\u00e2nd din r\u0103ni ad\u00e2nci bl\u00e2nde\u0163e,
\nL\u00e2ng\u0103 neveste mor de b\u0103tr\u00e2ne\u0163e,
\nNecutez\u00e2nd s\u0103 trag\u0103 spada vrerii.<\/p>\n

Bole\u015fte omenirea ca o junc\u0103
\n\u015ei nimeni nu-i ca s\u0103-i sloboad\u0103 s\u00e2nge;
\nS-a-mpotmolit istoria \u015fi pl\u00e2nge,
\nCu prora-nfipt\u0103 \u00eentr-un col\u0163 de st\u00e2nc\u0103.<\/p>\n

Nu se mai nasc nebuni care s-o m\u00e2ne
\nCu b\u00e2ta de la spate, ca pe-o vit\u0103,
\nAcestui veac s\u0103-i pun\u0103 dinamit\u0103
\n\u015ei evu-n\u021belepciunii s\u0103-l d\u0103r\u00e2me.<\/p>\n

O! Doamne, Doamne, unde-s Don Quijotii?
\nE lumea plin\u0103 de-alde Sancho Panza
\nCe nu-ndr\u0103znesc s\u0103 m\u00e2nuiasc\u0103 lanza,
\nCi scutieri cumin\u0163i se vor cu to\u0163ii.<\/p>\n

Unde-s nebunii? Unde-s Machedonii
\nS\u0103 trag\u0103 spada \u015fi s\u0103 taie nodul?
\nT\u00e2nje\u015fte dup\u0103 glorie norodul
\n\u015ei nu-s Cezari s\u0103-l treac\u0103 Rubiconii\u2026<\/p>\n

Sloboade, Doamne,-n lume nebunia,
\nS-o r\u0103v\u0103\u015feasc\u0103 \u015fi s\u0103 o r\u0103stoarne,
\nCa un berbec s\u0103 ia pam\u00eentu-n coarne
\n\u015ei-acestui veac s\u0103-i surpe temelia!<\/p>\n

Where are the madmen?<\/p>\n

Where are the madmen, are our madmen lost?
\nGod, world is filled by sapient and good,
\nthe Earth is filled by martyrs and sainthood,
\nall by the wisdom phylloxera crossed.<\/p>\n

The mob of wise are silent like the Sphynx
\nin front of world and the infinyty,
\nobedient to nature\u2019s trinity
\nlike an ox in the yoke the fellow blinks.<\/p>\n

The quiet whimpers in the straps of pain
\nand bleeding from deep wounds docility,
\nthey die near wives old in tranquility,
\nnot daring sword, not willing sword, in vain.<\/p>\n

Humanity is ill like an old cow
\nand there’s nobody here to bleed its sickness,
\nthe history is stuck and cries as witness,
\nstuck in the rock of time, of here and now.<\/p>\n

Not anymore are born the mad and raving,
\nto push it from behind, as if a beast,
\nto this epoch some dynamite to feast
\nand wisdom time to crush, no more enslaving.<\/p>\n

Oh, Lord, Lord, where are all the Don Quijotes,
\nthe world ifs filled only by Sancho Panza
\nwho dares not fight neither by sword nor stanza,
\njust kind shield bearer are all those bigotes.<\/p>\n

Where are the crazy? Where the Machedons?
\nTo shoot the sword and , oh, to cut the knot?
\nThe crowd longs for the glory like they ought
\nand no more Cesars to cross the Rubicons…<\/p>\n

Oh, Lord, release the madness, the lunatics
\nto storm the world and cast its lethargy,
\nand like a ram to grub the earth sinewy,
\nand to destroy this century\u2019s weak bricks.<\/p>\n
