 Solomon Deressa
|
Long time ago I came across a beautiful short poem by the Ethiopian poet Solomon Deressa and it goes as follows:
In a silence that soaked up time
Like a fallen crump in the final drops of cream cafe
Birds pass
Under the majesty of the sky
suns set and rise
A young woman walks
By the playing light against darkness
And in silence birds pass.
I was deeply touched by the beauty and simplicity of the poem and I tried to translate it as follows:
فى صمت انغمس داخل الزمن
مثل فتاتة خبز صغيرة
سقطت فى قطرات كريمة القهوة الاخيرة
طيور تعبر
تحت عظمة السماء شموس تغرب و تشرق
امراة صغيرة تسير عبر الضؤ المتلاعب قبالة الظلام
و في صمت طيور تعبر
I just want to enjoy its beauty with you. I love Ethiopia.
