"Restiamo umani"
هل تنسى عارك في بوخنفالد[1]
هل تذكر نارك في بخنفالد
هل تنسى حبك في قاموس الصمت
هل تذكر رعبك في ناموس الموت
في كابوس الوقت
ان يصبح كل العالم بوخنفالد؟
تنسى. لا تنسى. تبقى صور الموتى
بين أكاليل الورد
ومن الأشلاء البشرية
تطلع يد
مسمار في الكف ووشم في الزند
لافتة للكرة الأرضية
تذكر؟ لا تذكر؟
بوخنفالد
تنسى؟ لا تنسى؟
تبقى صور القتلى... بين أكاليل الورد

BUCHENWALD

Have you forgotten how you were shamed in Buchenwald?
Do you remember how you were flamed in Buchenwald?
Have you forgotten your love in the great glossary of silence?
Do you remember your panic at the great sovereignty of death,
In the great nightmare of time,
That all the world would become a Buchenwald?
Whether you have forgotten or not,
The images of the dead
Remain among the flower wreaths...
And from among the dismembered,
A hand rises forth,
With palm nailed through, with wrist tattooed
As a sign unto all the planet.
Do you remember, or do you not?
Buchenwald-
Whether or not you've forgotten,
The images of the slaughtered
Remain among the flower wreathes

BUCHENWALD

Hai dimenticato la vergogna che hai provato a Buchenwald?
Ricordi come sei arrostito a Buchenwald?
Hai dimenticato il tuo amore nel grande glossario del silenzio?
Non ti ricordi del panico di fronte alla soverchiante supremazia della morte,
Nell’ incubo assillante del tempo,
se il mondo intero diventasse un Buchenwald?
Che tu lo abbia dimenticato o no,
Le immagini dei morti
Sono fisse tra le ghirlande di fiori...
E tra quei corpi senza membra,
si alza una mano,
Con il palmo trapassato dai chiodi e il polso tatuato
Come un monito al mondo intero.
Te lo ricordi, oppure no?
Buchenwald-
Che tu lo abbia dimenticato o no-
Le immagini dei massacrati
Sono fisse tra le ghirlande di fiori

@ Riccardo Gullotta

L'arabo هل تذكر نارك في بخنفالد significa: Ricordi come ti hanno dato fuoco a Buchenwald? (alla lettera proprio: "il tuo incendio a Buchenwald"). Sono certo che il tuo "arrossito" nella tua traduzione sia un errore di digitazione, per "arrostito" -che, nonostante l'estrema crudezza, ci sta purtroppo benissimo. Saluti cari !

@Riccardo Venturi
Un mio svarione; il testo inglese , flamed, non lasciava dubbi.Per cortesia puoi correggere?
un carissimo saluto

@ Riccardo Gullotta

Fatto. Grazie ancora!
