Ziryab *

Your singing glitters in the light

in the calm waves of the sea

your singing moves the natural drought

and the treetops of San Jose

With your voice

the tired birds will wake up

and the chicks are livestocked

Come from Cordoba from history

take part in your Kurdish dance

do a Botanical dance

sing a love-song for young and old

so that the distant rain

will visit this town

show the environment

as the wind dances with us

when it hears your melody

Come meet your relatives

here in Andalusia

San Jose, 9.10.2016

Ziryab

Istiranîya te bi teyisîna ronahîyê re

bi pêlên hêmine zeryayê re

hişkanîya siruştî li San Jose

pozên daran dilivîne

Bi dengbêjîya te re

çivîkên westyayî zerverdibin

çîwçîkên wan şêndibin

De were ji Qurtube ji dîrokê

têkeve nav dîlana kurdanî

serçopîyeke botanî bikêşe

istiraneke evîntîyê bibêje

ta barana bidûrketî

bi ser vî bajarokî de bibare

pêşanî hawîrdorê bide

çawa ba hildiperê

gavê awaza te dibîhse

Were xizmên xwe li vir

li Endelus binase

Afrin 2

Afrin

my mother

your wounds are deeper than the depth

your pain is more than the leaves

eighteen Million of your olive trees

your women and girls are being raped

Afrin

your children in those bloody nights

flabby in the embrace of cold

they suck on the breasts of hunger

they groan over the torture of the wounds

Afrin

how many half dead mothers are dying

in pain several times a day

Afrin

you are the symbol of resistance

and of love in this world

Afrin

my mother

humanity for you

in your tragic days

is a dry tree in the desert of thought

Африн 2

Дорогой коллега Хуссейн Хабаш,

ваши стихи написаны кровью сердца, в них столько боли, что я не могла не откликнуться на нее и перевела их для вас на русский, чтобы Вы могли их выставить в интернете, как знак солидарности с  трагичной судьбой курдов, мужественно защищающих свою древнюю обитель.

С уважением

Агнес Госсен, член Союза писателей Германи

Африн

мать моя

твои раны глубже глубин глубоких

дрожь от боли твоей сильней

чем от листьев 18 миллионов

оливковых деревьев твоих

женщин и девочек твоих насилуют

Африн

твои дети в кровавых ночах

спят в обнимку с холодом

они сосут грудь голода

Африн

сколько полумертвых твоих матерей

умирают от боли каждый день  несколько раз

Африн

ты стал символом сопротивления

и любви на этом свете

Африн

мать моя

человечество для тебя

в эти трагичные дни

высохшее дерево

в пустыне мысли

Бонн, 19.3.2018

Afrin 2

Afrin

meine Mutter

deine Wunden sind tiefer als die Tiefe

deine Schmerzen sind mehr als die Blätter

achtzehn Millionen deiner Olivenbäume

deine Frauen und Mädchen werden vergewaltigt

Afrin

deine Kinder in diesen blutigen Nächten

schlafen in der Umarmung der Kälte

sie saugen an der Brust des Hungers

sie ächzen über der Qual der Wunden

Afrin

wie viele halbgetötete Mütter sterben

täglich mehrere Male vor Schmerzen

Afrin

du bist das Symbol des Widerstands

und der Liebe in dieser Welt

Afrin

meine Mutter

für dich ist die Menschheit

in deinen tragischen Tagen

ein trockener Baum in der Wüste des Denkens

Ji helbestvanîya cîhanî Gedichte aus der Welt Poesie Poems from the world poetry

 

Lîska aşîtîyê

Zaro li hewlê

cengê dilîstin,

wan cenga xwe

bi dengberzî û qêrînî dilîstin.

Di pencerê re

min bang wan kir:

Ma carekê aşîtîyê bilîzin!

Li wê bawerê bûm

ewê weha ne qêrînin.

 

Zaro li jêr

li hewlê bi kelecan bûn:

Ka em aşîtîyê bilîzin!

Bi hev re bi yek

dengî qîrandin.

Û hizirdikirin,

wê çi bikin,

ramandikirin bi devjengî,

careke din ji nû ve,

û paşê bangkir

Kurekî

bervê xwe da pencera min:

Apo! Mera çawa aşîtîyê diliîze?

Sîyayî

Li dirêjahîya dîwarê dêrê

sîya te li dor qunc

li ser her kevirî

bi giranî dilive

tibê ew dixwaze hesta

wî pir hewilda

rêçên xwe bihêle

di ber çûyînê re.

Guhdarî

Ez tim

pirtir dibîhsim

ji ewa tu dibêjî

tibê tu

bi hezar zimanan

dipeyivî

û tevî wê jî

pir nabêjî.

Berf

Tu bi hêminî hatî

çawa berf tê

û beyanî dil

tev sipî bû

û nizanî çi bibêje.

Te ez nixumandim

wek binefşeke tewrî biçûk

û min bihîst henaseya

sipîye erdê ya

bi istirana serşînkê re vedibû.

Wek dara sêvê ez dilerzim

dema ez te hemêzdikim.

Çiqas hêv îşev dilovan e!

Dar di bayî de dimîne

(Bo Germain Droogenbroodt)

Dar ne tişt e, eger ba tune be,

ez ne li wê bawrîyê me, ku ew bimîne

eger ba wê ne livîne.

Dar jî mîna her tiştî ye,

wêne, helbest, foto, belgeh,

alîyê din ji koka xwe, rehên xwe, henaseya xwe,

xwe bi ava xwe diparêze,

bi êzingê xwe, yê agir dişewitşîne, û bi bayê

ku dixwaze wê di şeveke bahozî de bişkîne.

Dar xwe bi bayî digewrê

her yek bi tenahîya xwe wê dibîne.

Dar dijî eger ew xwe bilivîne

di bayî de yan di ramanan de,

wek helbestekê dema ew mera ditengijîne.
