Xusuus

Maansoole: Martín Veiga

Dal: Beesha Gaaliisiya (Isbaanya)

Turjumay: Samantar Maxamad Siciid

Waxaa gudaha ku qarsan kansiga, hadiyad

qobtolan u taal kan suga, dhido caaradsan,

waqtigu sidii wabi aanan la jeexi karin,

surada cawseed saaran tukeyaashu, jiqda kastaanyeed,

baluudyada, farogodanada, killaalada qayreed

soo xirxira dheesha sooyaalka

ee shinida.

Kullina waa cagsaarid

siigo engagan ee tagtada

meesha fadaqyadu ku dhaafaan raadyo khafiifan,

sawiro waxkasooqaad lehaynin oo gacan sii tirtirto

- sida kuwa aan ku sameeyn jiray markaan ahaa cunug

budada shiideha ku soo duldaadatay kabiska

ay kula baaba’i jirayn bushimo afuufid, aslant-ahaanba.

Cadad ficil had iyo jeer dhamaadla’an,

kala firaran, ka yimaada xagga garwaaqsiga,

googo’yo ee tagtada:

geedsaarada u rogma guduud dayrta,

dharka cad waran, dabayshu ruxda,

codad haaraamiya, juqjuqeeyn khafiifan.

Xusuusta waa khasaanad jajab-og

ka buuxa iniino, qusur xanuun leh

loogu dhaxgalo hamuunqab, faroduubid.

Dhaxjoogid.

*Kastaanyo / Baluud (بلوط) : Nooc ka mid ah geedaha miraha adag.

*Farogodan (Digitalis): Nooc ka mid ah dhirgaabta ubaxa dhaliya.

MEMORIA

No interior ocúltase o tesouro, hermética

entrega para quen agarda, áspero ourizo,

o tempo como un río que non se pode vadear,

os corvos no colmazo, a mesta broza no souto,

landras, dedaleiras, as celas das entenas

encerrando a danza antiga

das abellas.

E todo é como pisar

sobre a seca poeira do pasado

onde as pegadas tracexan rastros tenues,

insignificantes debuxos que unha man vai borrando

- como aqueles que facía cando neno

na foula caída nas laxes do muíño

desaparecían soprados por uns labios, quedamente.

Fragmentos dunha acción sempre incondusa,

dispersa, chegada a través do recordo,

retallos do pasado:

as enradadeiras tornándose vermellas en outono,

a roupa branca no tendal, aventada,

voces admonitorias, punicóns leves.

A memoria é unha arca quebradiza

ateigada de sementes, dolorosa fondura

na que penetrar con avidez, cerrar os dedos.

Permanecer.

Hawraarta Afkayna

Uunsiga Afka Uunka: Soomaali.

Hadalkaan ujeedo’iyo
Himilo toosan lehayn’iyo
Hadaaq waa ku dilaa.

Hawraari waa murtidayna
Haddana waa gabaygayna
Ama heesta ciyaarta
Ama hawsha middeeda.

Heelo’iyo buraanbur
Hooriskeeda’iyo jiibka
Hingaadda’iyo luuqda
Haasaawehii’iyo amaanta
Hanjabaadda’iyo faanka
Halxiraale’iyo sheeko.

Waa hiraab iyo toosin
Waa afkii hidehayna
Amase hooyo’iyo aabe
Hantidii ummaddayna
Habistii ubadkayna.

Waa hogaan dhaqameedka
Marna aan la hurayn,
Lagu soo hiranayo.

 

The speech of our language

Utterance without weight
Spoken with no emphasis
And all frivolous speech
Is the death of our language

Our speech is our heritage
The most intricate poetry
A song to make us dance
And a song to help us work

It's Heelo and Buraanbur,
It's chorus and refrain
Syllables and music
Conversation and veneration
Threats and boasts
Riddles and tales

Dreams and awakening
Our speech is our heritage
Spoken by our ancestors
It's the wealth of our people
Our children's treasure-house

It's the lodestone of our culture
Utterly indispensible
The means of seeking assistance.

Ciidda Adhxaa 1432H

Ciid Wanaagsan

Sii Gudabka Sannadaha

Maansoole: Hanny Michaelis
Dal: Hollaan
Tarjumay: Samatar Maxamad Siciid

Jacayl iyo Farax

Sii gudabka sannadaha
waa in waxyaalo tirobadan layska xooro.
Fikradda, ka soo qaad,
in faraxsanaantu leedahay khafiif iyo waar,
sidii wax la mid cimilo koonfureed
halkay ka naqodto biriq
reebta haar
oo hiyiga la gashto.

Met de jaren
moet er veel worden weggegooid.
De gedachte bijvoorbeeld
dat geluk mild is en duurzaam
iets als een zuidelijk klimaat
in plaats van een blikseminslag
die levenslang gekoesterde
littekens achterlaat.
