Featured Poem by ~robertofacotilo

Maltese version: Prison Cell

Il-ħin għalija waqaf.
Il-pendlum ma jimxix aktar.
L-arloġġ ma jaħdimx akatr.
Il-markijiet fuq il-ħajt huma wisq.
Ma nafx x’ħin hu f’din iċ-ċella.
Ġurnata?
Lejl?
M’hawx twieqi, m’hawx kalendarji
M’għandix mezz kif inkun naf.
Imsakkar hawn mingħajr ħtija.
Ġ din iċ-ċella.
M’hawnx minfejn nista’ noħroġ.
Ma nistax nieħu nifs.
Ma nistax niekol.
Imma nibqa’ hawn mingħajr ħajja.
Nisteni sakemm tieqaf.
Nistena sakemm imut.
Ninjora ir-raġel li jiġi bil-ikel
Neħħi l-ilma min-nofs.
Il-biċċiet tal-fuħħar kullimkien ma’ l-art.
Naqbad biċċa u nimarka il-ħajt.
Żied ġurnata oħra.
Hext ġurnata oħra.
Ġurnata oħra li nixtieq qatt ma sheet.
Nerġa naqa’ ma’ l-art.
Nerġa niċċasa lejn is-saqqaf.
Nagħti merħba lid-dlam.
Fl-aħħar, temmet.
Issa nista’ nistrieh.
Fl-aħħar…
Temmet…
Issa…

English version

Time has stopped for me.
The pendulum no longer swings.
My clock no longer rhythmically ticks.
The markings on my wall are endless.
I’ve lost track of time in this Cell.
Is it day?
Is it night?
No windows, no calendars
No way to tell.
Stuck her mercilessly.
Stuck in my Prison Cell.
There’s now way out of this Cell.
I can’t breathe anymore.
I can’t even eat.
I just lie lifeless.
I just wait for it to stop.
I just wait for life to end.
Ignore the jailer who comes with food.
Kick away the water.
Clay pieces scatter the floor.
Grab a piece and mark the wall.
One more day added.
One more day lived.
One more day I wish hadn’t happened.
Lie on the floor again.
Stare at the ceiling again.
Welcome the darkness that engulfs.
It’s finally over.
Now I can rest.
Finally…
Over…
Now…

Featured German Translation by =sankatze

Written by Erich Fried (1921-1988), trans. by =sankatze

Tagtraum
Ich bin so müde
daß ich
wenn ich durstig bin
mit geschlossenen Augen
die Tasse neige
und trinke

Denn wenn ich die Augen
aufmache
ist sie nicht da
und ich bin zu müde
um zu gehen
und Tee zu kochen

Ich bin so wach
daß ich dich küsse
und streichle
und daß ich dich höre
und nach jedem Schluck
zu dir spreche

Und ich bin zu wach
um die Augen zu öffnen
und dich sehen zu wollen
und zu sehen
daß du
nicht da bist

Daydream
I am so tired
That I will
When I am thirsty
closed-eyed
tilt my cup
and drink

Because when I open
my eyes
it will not be there
and I am too tired
to go
and make tea.

I am so awake
that I will kiss
and caress you
and listen
and talk to you
after each sip

And I am too awake
to open my eyes
craving to see you
only to realize
that you are
not here.
