I Muvrini - Celle que tu crois dalszöveg fordítás angol nyelvre

The one you think I am

In the sunlight of a mystery
I unfurl my sails
and defy weather and time1.
And I am this background,
and I am this landmark
ruffled by the winds.
I listen to the talks
and I flash a smile
to these words I hear.
 
To the one who buys me,
to the one who sells me.
 
Here's to the tune of my language
and the names of my trees
and the love of my people,
those who enlightened me2
those [whose names are] etched in marble,
who shed their blood for us.
All those who bestowed
love upon me, and these brothers
who were strangers at first,
those whom I recognized
as soon as they showed up.
 
(But who might know that?)
To dispell doubts,
would that there was a sky,
whould that there was a song,
an ear to listen to
the secret of a voice,
the words of a child
who would tell over the roofs,
in the streets, on the roads
what happiness looks like,
[this happiness] I write about in the spring.
Would that there was a brother
to dispell doubts.
 
Would that there was a song,
an ear to listen to
the secret of a voice,
the words of a child
who would tell over the roofs
how unfit I am for you,
how different I am
from what you think I am3.
 
I changed crowns,
I changed flags
so many times in my life.
Do they even own a land,
do thay have children, do they love,
all those who talk about me?
Do they know where I'm from,
do they know where I'm going,
and what would they have done?
Who I was, who I am,
do you know it, my friend?
 
But what doesn't kill you
makes you stronger and bolder4.
Pain taught me,
and it's on my back I carry
a star5, a sorrow, a silence, a challenge.
But on my doorstep
I turn this into an opportunity,
I turn this into a gift,
may love take us
even higher.
 
(But who might know that?)
 

• 1. since 'temps' can have both meanings, I assume using the plural implies he defies both
• 2. I can't really hear what he sings and the transcription seems wrong, but I suppose 'semer' (sow) alludes to the knowledge and wisdom he's been granted by his folks
• 3. frankly I don't understand what he's alluding to
• 4. Ah well, now for a bit of social darwinism...
• 5. ??? possible allusion to the soah ???

This translation does not claim to be of any particular value.
Glad if you liked it, sorry if you didn't.
You can reuse it as you please.
Glad if it's for knowledge or understanding, sorry if it's just for money or fame.
