My poem "A beleza e a peste" in Gentil Saraiva Jr. translation


My poem "A beleza e a peste" in Gentil Saraiva Jr. translation:




THE BEAUTY AND THE PLAGUE

The wind takes the birdsongs
My street has not so few trees
The plague has spread everywhere
And people silence the road noise lately
They hide in their homes

When there is almost no smell of cars
In some streets
You can smell the perfume
Of the trees and their flowers
When passing through a small square
Even being in the center of my town
The city approaches the countryside

Some entrepreneurs claim
That no one will die
Except old and sick people
For them and for the president of my country
These lives don't matter
And other Nazis preached it
Beneficial to eliminate them

In my youth
I flipped through Antonin Artaud
And I heard him preach in the writings
That a disease had to come
For new Middle Ages
So we would be absolved
Of our purest mistakes
But we already lived in dark times

I do not know
I do not know if we will get out of this better
But these streets are better
Except at night when the police don't act
And some headless people go out to
Get together in agglomerations
And parties in houses and apartments
Contrary to one of the wisest laws
Ever decreed

The virus also moves in the air
And on the hands and feet of the infected
In global news statistics
It gallops with death in sharp turn

Since the beginning of the isolation
I don't know what it is like to write a poem
Right now that the world needs
Many words
Nice words if possible
To chase away sadness and hunger

Perhaps the new sounds and smells
In the urban jungle where they never stopped
And the new nest of the great kiskadee
On a thin branch of a tree in my yard
Bring me a new breath
And new lines may come out of my breath

Since I have moved into this house I have been
Watching the birds and seen
That some years ago
Those were gone
Now I see the yellow breast of one
On the flight under a high frond

Now
Maybe because the pollutions are gone
Many birds are coming back

We are the ones who pass
I look at my veins in my arms
And I know better than I ever knew
Only their beauty does not pass

Why the rush to return
To our frantic pace
Of robots on an assembly line
If we can stop and observe
This ancient news
And if the governments of the world can
Feed us until the storm passes

WHO KNOWS

                                         Translation Gentil Saraiva Jr.

A BELEZA E A PESTE

O vento leva o canto dos pássaros
Minha rua não tem tão poucas árvores
A peste se espalhou por toda a parte
E tardiamente as pessoas silenciam o ruído das vias
Se escondem nas suas residências

Quando não há quase o cheiro dos carros
Em algumas ruas
É possível sentir o perfume
Das árvores e de suas flores
Ao passar por uma praça pequeninha
Mesmo sendo no centro da minha city
A cidade se aproxima do campo

Alguns empresários afirmam
Que não vai morrer ninguém
Senão velhinhos e doentes
Para eles e para o presidente do meu país
Essas vidas não importam
E outros nazistas pregavam
Até ser benéfico eliminá-las

Na minha juventude
Folheei Antonin Artaud
E o ouvi apregoar nos escritos
Que era preciso vir uma doença
Para uma nova Idade Média
Assim estaríamos absolvidos
Dos nossos erros mais puros
Mas já vivíamos em tempos obscuros

Não sei
Não sei se sairemos dessa melhores
Mas estão melhor estas ruas
A não ser à noite quando a polícia não age
E alguns descabeçados saem para
Se reunir em aglomerações
E festas nas casas e apartamentos
Contrariando uma das leis
Mais sensatas que já decretaram

O vírus também se move no ar
E nas mãos e nos pés dos infectados
Nas estatísticas dos noticiários globais
Ele galopa com a morte em curva acentuada

Desde o início do isolamento
Não sei o que é redigir um poema
Logo agora que o mundo precisa
De muitas palavras
Se possíveis agradáveis
Para espantar a tristeza e a fome

Talvez os novos sons e odores
Na selva urbana que nunca paravam
E o novo ninho de bem-te-vi
Em um ramo fino de uma árvore no meu pátio
Me tragam um novo alento
E novas falas possam sair do meu hálito

Desde que vivo nesta casa fui
Observando as aves e vi
Que há alguns anos haviam
Desaparecido estas
Que agora vejo de uma o peito amarelo
No voo sob uma fronde alta

Agora
Talvez porque idas as poluições
Estão voltando muitos pássaros

Somos os que passam
Olho minhas veias nos braços
E sei melhor do que jamais soube
Somente a beleza deles não passa

Por que a pressa para voltar
Ao nosso ritmo frenético
De robôs numa linha de montagem
Se podemos nos deter a observar
Estas antiquíssimas novidades
E se os governos do mundo podem
Nos alimentar até que a tempestade passe

(a geopoetical sample)


to Jerome Rothenberg

with me está bien
with one my friend  Jerome está todo
here with me it’s
right is a just well-being along with a
new friend of those my old
who sends to me greetings from there California
we had a mate¹

a great match

just between us are the rights certain and 
well stored
we have the farm gates like an open book
poetry isn’t stored by trunks
with ye living soul how it’s
for old Jerome I didn’t ask and it was all
here between us we don’t ask  ‘cause of that

but you my friend you must  find your course
with how many words one does a  Rothenberg & Jerome
and you with how much are you made of
how many are yours
your how many are
your reserved rights
near you
near you in this as you will
if for you it seems holdup
I spread the hand out
and hold tight the bones  
be the same as Jerome

1 Mate (beverage), a popular caffeinated beverage made from yerba maté. Mate or Yerba maté (yerba: Spanish word for herb), is a South American herb used to make the beverage. The word "mate" comes from the Quechua word "mati" or "matty" which means "gourd" - the bowl usually used for tea mate.

from Wikipedia:

Legendary origins

The Guaraní (Guarani, in Portuguese) indigenous people started drinking mate in the region that now includes Paraguay, southern Brazil, south-easthern Bolivia, north-east Argentina, and Uruguay. The Guaraní have a legend that says that the Goddesses of the Moon and the Cloud came to the Earth one day to visit it but they instead found a Yaguareté (a jaguar) that was going to attack them. An old man saved them, and, in compensation, the Goddesses gave the old man a new kind of plant, from which he could prepare a "drink of friendship".

*************************

Mate (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈmate]), also known as  cimarrón or chimarrão (Portuguese), is a traditional South American infused drink, particularly in Uruguay, Argentina, Paraguay, southern states of Brazil, (more drunked in Rio Grande do Sul) and in the Pantanal,south of Chile, the Bolivian Chaco, and to some extent, Syria and Lebanon. It is prepared from steeping dried leaves of yerba mate (llex paraguariensis, known in Portuguese as erva mate) in hot water.

Mate is served with a metal straw from a shared hollow calabash gourd. The straw is called a bombilla in some Latin American countries, a bomba in Portuguese, and a bombija or in general a masassa (type of straw) in Arabic. The straw is traditionally made of silver. Modern commercially available straws are typically made of nickel silver, called Alpaca, stainless steel, or hollow-stemmed cane. The gourd is known as a mate or a guampa, while in Brazil it has the specific name of cuia. Even if the water comes in a very modern thermos, the infusion is traditionally drunk from mates or cuias.

As with other brewed herbs, yerba mate leaves are dried, chopped, and ground into a powdery mixture called yerba. The bombilla acts as both a straw and a sieve. The submerged end is flared, with small holes or slots that allow the brewed liquid in, but block the chunky matter that makes up much of the mixture. A modern bombilla design uses a straight tube with holes, or spring sleeve to act as a sieve.

History

Mate was first consumed by the indigenous Guaraní and also spread by the Tupí people that lived in Southern Brazil. The consumption of mate became widespread with the European colonization. The consumption of yerba mate became widespread in the Spanish colony of Paraguay in the late 16th century both among Spanish settlers and indigenous Guaraní, who consumed it before the Spanish arrival. Mate consumption spread in the 17th century to the River Plate and from there to Chile, Bolivia and Peru. This widespread consumption turned it into Paraguay's main commodity above other wares like tobacco, cotton, and beef. Aboriginal labour was used to harvest wild stands. In the mid 17th century Jesuits managed to domesticate the plant and establish plantations in their Indian reductions in the Paraguayan department of Misiones, sparking severe competition with the Paraguayan harvesters of wild strands. After their expulsion in the 1770s, the Jesuit missions - along with the yerba mate plantations - fell into ruins. The industry continued to be of prime importance for the Paraguayan economy after independence, but development in benefit of the Paraguayan state halted after the War of the Triple Alliance (1864–1870) that devastated the country both economically and demographically.

Brazil then became the largest producer of mate. In Brazilian and Argentine projects in late 19th and early 20th century the plant was domesticated once again, opening the way for plantation systems. When Brazilian entrepreneurs turned their attention into coffee in the 1930s, Argentina, which had long been the prime consumer, took over as the largest producer, resurrecting the economy of Misiones Province, where the Jesuits had once had most of their plantations. For years the status of largest producer shift between Brazil and Argentina.
