Oilibheir Álain Christie Poems

Brother Humans who live after us,
Do not have hearts hardened against us,
For, if you take pity on us poor,
God will sooner have mercy on you.
...

As the Nazis arrested the communists
I have remained silent,
I sure was no communist

‎إذا استطعت أن تحتفظ برأسك ‎عندما يفقد كل من حولك
‎ رؤوسهم ‎و ينحون عليك باللائمة
‎إذا وثقت بنفسك ‎عندما يفقد كل إنسان ثقته فيك
‎و لا تترك مع ذلك مجالاً للشك

Emberi-testvéreink, ti, akik utánunk élnek,
Ne legyen ellenünk megkeményedett szív,
Mert, ha irgalmazz nekünk szegény,
Isten irgalmas lesz néktek korábban.

‎على الشجرة الوحيدة من الجزيرة العربية،
‎كما رسول آلامنا وأيضا لدينا البوق
‎في الصوت الذي أجنحة عفيفة سوف يطيع.

Love has been in all times a real tough Ananke.
If you don't want to be kicked out,
As soon as you're in love, you'll observe and scrutinize yourself,
Set your rough-and-ready nature aside. From a brutish beast
...

Lascia che l'uccello del canto più forte
Sul singolo albero d'Arabia,
Sia araldo del nostro dolore e tromba,
Al suono di cui, ali casta obbediscono.
