Lera Yanysheva: Stone Children (From Lovara Romani)

Stone Children
By Lera Yanysheva
Translated by A.Z. Foreman

It hurts. It's crushing me. Forgive me. Please.   
How can you have just left me all at once?
I didn't know I would give death to you.
Oh God what have I done? Forgive me, sons.

My sons, they've paid for sins that I committed.
Gone through agony because of me. 
I wanted the fine life, the house, the money.
Some other Lovara live in luxury....

I wanted you to not want for a thing,
A fortune to keep my boys set for life. 
So I went and sold my soul to a foul man
And started selling heroin as a wife. 

What good is all this money to me now? 
Oh Christ! What have they gone and done? Why, those
Boys knew exactly where to score some smack. 
They shot each other up and overdosed.

I bought them this luxurious monument.
This is the marble that they sleep below.
I had to bury you, my boys, my babies.
Fortune and fine life left me long ago.

Standing and staring at the iron crosses
I've locked my heart and blown away the keys.
You were so lively, boys. Now you're all stone.
It hurts. It's crushing me. Forgive me. Please.

Barune �avora

M�nge pharo-i...cak ertec�ja m? manglem...
S�star gel�ntar � m�nge-i e gec�na,
Ke savora mer�na � ci zaglem!
So m? kerdem? Mangav m? ertec�ja...

Le bezexa mure sa potinde le savora,
Le savora pal m�nde kinoz�nas.
Kamos vi m? o sumnakaj taj le kher�,
Le avera Lov�ra barvales traj�nas.

E baxt tum�nge te kerav kamlem,
De sar barvalipe le savor�nge te resav?
Le bivu��ske di m? bikindem,
Kezd�sard�m d�l� draba m? te biknav.

Pe sos, Rom�le, m�nge sumnakaj?
O Sv�nto dr�go Del! So von kerde?
Von arakhle draba, ke zan�s kaj,
Ek le kavres kodol drab�nca pusade.

Murm�nc� l�nge barvale m? keradem,
Sa �ndo mr�moro le savora soven.
Jaj, dr�gi � m? tumen praxosardem,
Aj baxt taj tr�jo m�ndar dur na�en.

Taj sar d�kh�v m? tru�ula le sastrune,
Muro jilo pe k�ja phandadem.
Save sas zuvinde, de akanik-i barune!
M�nge phar�-i...Cak ertec�ja m? manglem...

Rumi and Confucius

"Despite the fact that Confucius and Rumi were born in different periods and places, both were born at a time of social upheaval and political turmoil. Consequently, both thinkers tried to provide the means for their people to overcome the times of difficulty, first by understanding, cultivating, and realizing their human potentialities, and then by transforming themselves, their families, and their societies. Interestingly, Rumi and Confucius share more in common than most people would think and their teachings are still meaningful and relevant to the modern world. The wisdom of Confucius and Rumi provides today�s readers with spiritual resources to overcome the challenges of our time and to build bridges of understanding and dialogue among different cultures and civilizations. This paper examines the core ideas of these two great thinkers and provides anthropocosmic insights into their ideas on nature, family and music."
