Ojeikpo Elijah Poems

Tell me because I am from North
Tell me because I am from South
Either East or West
We are one
...

Sólo era un niño
Siente la brisa extramadamente profunda
De un romanticismo ápice
Puentes para ponerme en lo profundo
...

Je n'étais qu'un enfant
Je ressens une brise extramoderne et profonde
D'une Romance apexique
Des ponts pour me mettre au fond
...

Somos uno

Dime porque soy del Norte
Dígame porque soy del Sur
...

Dimmi perché sono del Nord
Dimmelo perché sono del Sud
O est o ovest
Noi siamo uno
...

Save my blood
You might need it tomorrow
When the rivers
All dry to its bank
...

Salva il mio sangue
Potresti averne bisogno domani
Quando i fiumi
Tutti si prosciugano fino alla riva
...

Last wasn't a lost
Neither defeat a conquered
Goodbye
Mean nothing at all
...

Little bird little bird
Sitting on the wall
Weary and worried
Eyes squinted unto the distant land
...

Roll and roll
Like a form master
Ready to call the roll call
She cuddle the sky
...
