Gedicht
Torgeir Rebolledo Pedersen
RAIN AND SUN
we are weeping over sons we losttears are griefs that are condensed
sons are weeping over
brothers lost and daughters weeping
in the sun the flowers spring out
in the rain umbrellas
in the sun the joys spring out
felled by scythe and sagging
sorrows spring out in the sun
shadows stretch themselves so long
tears are griefs that are condensed
laughing is evaporated grieving
as long as we can laugh
then we can also cry

Regen met zon
huilen is gecondenseerd verdrietwe huilen over verloren zonen
zonen huilen over
verloren broers dochters huilen
in de zon komen bloemen uit
in de regen paraplu’s
in de zon komt vreugde uit
wordt neergeslagen door zeis en plat graan
in de zon komt verdriet uit
en de schaduwen strekken zich uit
huilen is gecondenseerd verdriet
lachen is verdampt huilen
zo lang we kunnen lachen
zo lang kunnen we huilen

REGN MED SOL
gråt er kondensert sorgvi gråter over tapte sønner
sønner gråter over
tapte brødre døtre gråter
i sola springer blomster ut
i regnet paraplyer
i sola springer gleder ut
slås ned av ljå og legde
i sola springer sorger ut
og skygger drar seg lange
gråt er kondensert sorg
latter er fordampet gråt
så lenge vi kan le
så lenge kan vi gråte
