English to Arabic: When the soldiers leave General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - English حين يغادرُ الجنودُ المكان سأخرجُ... لأشتري لك بضعة ملليمترات من الهواء وأحاولُ ـ إن استطعت ـ أن أغني لكِ كي تنامي فأنتِ لستِ ابنتي، أعرف ذلك لكنني أستطيع أن أكون أباكِ ويمنعني الجنودُ من ذلك!!! حين يغادرُ الجنودُ المكان لا تكترثي بكل تلك الأشجار المحروقة ولا بكل تلك الأعمار المحروقة أو بتلك الأماني المحروقة بل اتّكئي على كتفي وحاولي بقدمك الوحيدة أن تسيري الخطوات العشرين التي تفصل البيت عن بائع الحلوى حين يغادرُ الجنودُ المكان قولي لي ما كان يمنعك منه الخوف أظهري دمعكِ ساخناً وملوّناً بقليل من الكحل لن يلومك أحد على هذا فجميعهم، قبل أن يأتوا ليتأكدوا أنك ما زلت حيةً... قد بكوا شيئاً ما، وتماسكوا... حين يغادرُ الجنودُ المكان لا تغيّري وجهة نظركِ في الأشياء الصورةُ المخزوقةُ بالرصاص هي الصورة ذاتها والمرآة التي كسرها كعب بندقية هي المرأة التي كنتِ تتأكدين من جديلتيك عليها وتزعجينني وأنا أنتظر كي أوصلك إلى المدرسة وقطّتُكِ السمينة تلك أقصد التي تحوّلت إلى قطة ميتة حين رفسها جنديٌّ بحذائه العسكري هي القطة ذاتها كل ما في الأمر يا حبيبتي أن الجنود كانوا هنا... حين يغادرُ الجنودُ المكان سنضحك من ذلك الجندي الذي غالبه النعاس فأطلق رصاصةً على الثلاجةِ بعد أن صرخ عليه القائد فاستيقظ فالجنودُ بشرٌ مثلنا لكن الفرق بيننا وبينهم أننا نحملُ كارثةً على ظهورنا وهم يحملون بنادق في أعينهم وتوراةً في أرواحهم حين يغادرُ الجنودُ المكان لا تعبثي بما خلفوه من الروايات فهم يعرفون أنهم لا يعرفون سوى ما يعرّفونهم إياه وذلك الكيس الذي سقط من خاصرة الجندي الأخير ليس بالضرورة أن يكون كيس حلوى فكثيراً ما يُسقط الجنود أكياساً من الخُبث العسكري ويبتهجون كثيراً حين تنطلي الحيلةُ على المسالمين حين يغادرُ الجنودُ المكان سنقف أنا وأنتِ ونقرأُ ما كتبوه على جدران بيتنا ونضحك كثيراً لأنهم أخطأوا في كتابة الحروف فهم لا يعرفون لغتنا لأن من علّمهم إياها لم يكن يعرفها كذلك	Translation - Arabic When the soldiers leave, I'll come out to buy you a few millimeters of air I'll try - if I could - to sing you to sleep You are not my daughter, I know But I can be your father except, the soldiers prevent it. When the soldiers leave, Do not mind all those burnt trees All those burnt lifetimes All those burnt wishes Lean on my shoulder And try, with your only foot To walk the twenty steps Between home and the candy vendor. When the soldiers leave, Tell me what fear stopped you from saying Show your warm tears, coloured with a bit of eyeliner No one will blame you They all, before coming to ensure you’re alive, Cried a little, and then held back. When the soldiers leave, Do not change how you see things The picture with bullet holes Is still the same picture The mirror broken by a rifle butt Is the one you checked your hair braids in, And annoyed me while I waited To get you to school And your little fat cat -The one who is dead now After a soldier kicked it with his military shoe- Is the same cat All that is there, sweetie, Is that soldiers were here. When the soldiers leave, We will laugh at the soldiers who fell asleep And shot the fridge After the commander yelled at him to wake up Soldiers are human, like us The only difference Is that we carry disaster on our shoulders And they carry guns in their eyes And Torah in their souls. When the soldiers leave, Do not mess with the stories they left They know that they only know what they’ve been taught That bag that fell from the last soldier’s pocket Is not necessarily a bag of sweets Soldiers often drop Bags of military con And jubilate when the trick Fools the peaceful When the soldiers leave, You and I will stand And laugh and laugh At the mistakes in the letters they wrote Because they don’t know our language Who taught it to them Does not know it, either.
