Dina Rot, Clarisse Nicoidsky: La Mar

"La Mar" is a sefardic poem by Clarisse Nicoidsky (1938-1996). Music composed by Dina Rot. Track from Dina Rot's "Una Manu Tumo L' Otra".

La Mar

Si mi davas tus ojus pudia fazer
con unu un barco
di l' otru la vela
si mi davas tus ojus
pudia tomar lus caminos dil mar
di la mar
qui sta liurandu
alrididor de la tiarra
di no tinir ojus
di no ver
di solo liurar

Η Θάλασσα

Αν μου έδινες τα μάτια σου, θα μπορούσα να φτιάξω
με το ένα μια βάρκα
από το άλλο το πανί
αν μου έδινες τα μάτια σου
θα μπορούσα να ακολουθήσω τους δρόμους της θάλασσας
της θάλασσας
που πάντοτε κλαίει
ολόγυρα στη γη
που δεν έχει μάτια,
που δεν βλέπει
που μόνο κλαίει.

The Sea

If you gave me yor eyes I could make
with one a boat
from the other the sailcloth
If you gave me your eyes
I could follow the routes of the sea
which never stops crying
all around the earth
for not having eyes
for not seeing
for only crying
