David eta Goliath
Aurpegia
zapiaz estalirik
eta harria eskuan dutela
oraindik tinko
gazte Palestinarrak
zuzenean bere etsaiaren bila
erakutsiz
zenbat gorroto gorde
dezakeen barnean harri batek
gogoan dute beren
lur zatitua
minutu bat eta gatazka hasiko da
zein da David
eta zein da Goliath?
zenbat izango dira
desagertuko
odol putzu batean?
mila zati egindako ispilua
mila aldiz jipoitutako herria
kale ixtuetan haurren negarrak
fusil hotsekin dira nahastuak
hainbeste hilotzen oroimena
bere begietan diztira sutan
eta gaur al-aqsako sarraskia
mendeku eta harri bihurtu da
David and Goliath
Face
covered in sweat
and holding the stone
still sharp
young Palestinians
seeking their enemy
showing
how much hatred
a single stone
can hold inside
they remember
their shattered land
one minute and the struggle will begin
who is David
and who is Goliath?
how many
will disappear
in a pool of blood?
a mirror shattered into a thousand pieces
a town shaken a thousand times
children's cries in narrow streets
mixed with the sound of rifles
so many deaths remembered
burning in their eyes
and today's massacre
has turned into rock and mountain
