بين ريتا وعيوني . . بندقيه
والذي يعرف ريتا ينحني
ويصلي
لعيون عسليه
وأنا قبلت ريتا
عندما كانت صغيره
أذكر كيف التصقت بي
وغطت ساعدي أحلى ضفيره
آه.. ريتا
إسم ريتا كان عيدا في فمي
جسم ريتا كان عرسا في دمي
وأنا ضعت بريتا . . سنتين
وتعاهدنا على أجمل كأس
واحترقنا في نبيذ الشفتين
وولدنا مرتين
آه.. ريتا
كان يا ما كان
يا صمت العشيه
قمري هاجر في الصبح بعيدا
في العيون العسليه
والمدينة كنست كل المغنين
وريتا
بين ريتا وعيوني . . بندقيه
Between Rita and my eyes there is a rifle
And whoever knows Rita
kneels and prays
to the divinity of honey-colored eyes
And I kissed Rita
When she was young
And I remember how she approached
And how my arm was covered by
the loveliest of braids
Ah, Rita..
Rita's name was a feast in my mouth
Rita's body was a wedding in my blood
And I was lost in Rita for two years
And we made promises
Over the most beautiful of cups
And we burned in the wine of lips
And we were born twice
Ah, Rita!
Once upon a time
Oh, the silence of dusk
In the morning my moon migrated to a far
place in those honey-colored eyes
And the city swept away all the singers
And Rita,
Between Rita and my eyes — A rifle

من قصيدة : موت آخر وأحبك
شعرك سقفي وكفَاك صوتان
حبك سيفي
وعيناك نهران
والان أشهد أن حضورَك موت
وأن غيابك موتان
Your hair, my roof
Your palms, two voices
Your love, my sword
Your eyes, two rivers
And I swear
Your presence is my dying
Your absence, my death.

Marcel's Mother

أحنّ إلى خبز أمي
و قهوة أمي
و لمسة أمي
و تكبر في الطفولة
يوما على صدر يوم
و أعشق عمري لأني
إذا متّ
أخجل من دمع أمي
I long for my mother's bread
My mother's coffee
And her touch.
Childhood memories grow in me
Day after day
And I love my life
Because if I die
I'd be ashamed of
My mother’s tears.

أَنا يوسفٌ يا أَبي
إخوتي لا يحبُّونني
لا يريدونني بينهم يا أَبي
يَعتدُون عليَّ و يرمُونني بالحصى والكلامِ
يرِيدونني أَن أَموت كي يمدحُوني
وهم أَوصدُوا باب بيتك دوني
حين مرَّ النَّسيمُ ولاعب شعرِي
غاروا وثارُوا
فماذا فعَلْتُ أَنا يا أَبي
ولماذا أَنا? أَنتَ سمَّيتني يُوسُفًا
وهُمُو أَوقعُونيَ في الجُبِّ، واتَّهموا الذِّئب
والذِّئبُ أَرحمُ من إخوتي, ابتي
O my father, I am Yousef (Joseph).
O father, my brothers neither love me
nor want me in their midst.
Father, they assault me and
cast stones and words at me.
They want me to die so
they can eulogise me.
They closed the door of your house
and left me out.
When the passing gentle wind
played with my hair
they were jealous,
they flamed up with rage
What did I do to them, father?
And why me?
You named me Yousef
and they threw me into the well
and accused the wolf,
though the wolf is more merciful
than my brothers, O my father!

أحنّ إلى خبز أمي
و قهوة أمي
و لمسة أمي
و تكبر في الطفولة
يوما على صدر يوم
و أعشق عمري لأني
إذا متّ
أخجل من دمع أمي
ضعيني، إذا ما رجعت
وقودا بتنور نارك
وحبل غسيل على سطح دارك
هرمت ،فردّي نجوم الطفولة
حتى أشارك
صغار العصافير
درب الرجوع
الى عشّ انتظارك
I long for my mother's bread
My mother's coffee
And her touch.
Childhood memories grow in me
Day after day
And I love my life
Because if I die
I'd be ashamed of
My mother’s tears.
If I ever come back
Use me as wood
To feed your fire
As the clothesline on
The roof of your house.
I am old
Give me back the
Star maps of childhood
So that I
Along with the swallows
Can chart the path
Back to your waiting nest.
