This

This world was set up neither by you nor by me. The bombs and the gallows were raised neither by you nor by me. But we cried out, we became tears, we clawed at all the gallows and bombs both you and I. Each of us exiled, now, to one side: from the two far sides of the earth your heart and mine joined each other joined together and took the earth in their arms my dear! our breaths were never in vain: neither yours – ever – nor mine!...

این جهان را نه تو بر پا کردی نه من. بمب ها و دارها را نه تو افراشته بودی نه من. اما فریاد زدیم،اشک شدیم، چنگ زدیم به تمام دارها و بمب ها هم تو هم من. تبعید شده هریک از ما ، اکنون ،در سویی ست: از دوسوی دور زمین قلب های تو و من با همدیگر پیوستند با هم پیوستند و زمین را در آغوش گرفتند عزیزم ! هرگز بیهوده نبودند نفس های ما: نه تو – هرگز - نه من!...
