enemy of the sun
lose it, perhaps, the salary,
as you desired;
be forced to sell clothing and mattress
will, perhaps, the bearer of stones;
the porter, the
Zappino
street or the worker in a factory;
maybe I will be forced to look for in manure
to find a grain to eat
or maybe I will die naked and hungry.
Nevertheless I do not resign yourself to never,
or enemy of the sun! But
resist to the last drop of blood in my veins.
You could steal me the last inch of ground;
you would be able to give my youth prisons
;
deprive me of my grandfather's legacy:
of furniture, household utensils and containers
.
You'd be well capable of giving fire
my poems and
my books and my flesh to the dogs.
Would you - as is true - a nightmare
the heart of our village,
or enemy of the sun!
Nevertheless, I do not resign yourself to never
and, until the last drop of blood in my veins
resist! ...
You turn off the light that enlightens the night
and deprive me of my mother's kiss;
your kids would be able to insult
my people and my father's coward
some of you would be able to falsify
well My story;
You yourself may deprive my children
a party dress;
you would be able to deceive with false
face
my friends,
crucify the day on a vision humiliating
or enemy of the sun!
Nevertheless, I do not resign yourself to never
and, until the last drop of blood in my veins
resist! ...
O enemy of the sun!
In the port I see the ornaments,
signs of joy, I hear voices
cheerful and enthusiastic applause that
fiery joy of the throat;
nell'orrizonte and I see a sail
defying the wind and waves
overcoming with confidence the dangers!
This is the return of Ulysses
from the sea of \u200b\u200bconfusion.
This is the return of the sun And
expatriate man! ...
Per gli occhi di lui e della amata terra
giuro di non rassegnarmi mai a te
e fino all’ultima goccia di sangue nelle vene,
resisterò,
resisterò,
resisterò!...
Samih al-Qasim
Perchè chi ha sofferto non abbia il diritto di infliggere.
