Translation

Letter

I take a smoke from my tobacco, I close my eyes, I dive from where I sit. I go beyond, alone, to the horizons of the sea, places deep in my heart.
 

I take another smoke from my tobacco, I go to those places, I go as far as I can, I go deep into my heart I go behind the hill, to places that smell of rain where the sun rises smilingly.
 

Oh, the smell of rain!
 

I take another deep smoke from my tobacco, I close my eyes and dive into those days. I go to the depths of my heart that is beyond the sea.
 

I go to the hamlet, sickle and axe in my hand, I pass through the drizzly thorns.
The cuckoo sings to me, I sing back. The mountains sing back to me with my echoing voice, I like it, I sing too. I shout as loud as I can, the jackals are astonished.
Oh, the song of the jackals, we used to fall asleep with their voices in the smell of the grass-filled bed.
 

I take another deep drag of my tobacco, I go down to the depths of my heart.
My torn rubber boots, my patched pants, my cigarette case falling out of my pocket, I see a half-burned corn silk cigarette. I smile with my eyes full of tears. I get scared sometimes I hear an owl’s voice when the wind blows, oh those days I say to myself.
 

I take another deep drag of my tobacco, I hear the sounds of rattles with the smell of dung…
 

I leave the meadow and the sun hits me. I see my grandfather with a sickle in his hand, his hand tied behind his back. I see my grandmother, she sings a folk song as if she were lamenting.
 

I see my mother with a load of grass on her back, her arms full of strawberries, she is distributing them to us…
The smell of sweat comes with the smell of strawberries, like the smell of soil when it is time to dig a garden.
Oh the smell of soil!
 

I take another drag of my tobacco, my tobacco is finished. I open my eyes and think of those days.
I think of my village from beyond the sea, “from the land where the sun rises with money”
