POEM BY SITI RUQAIYAH HASHIM
TRANSLATED INTO CROATIAN BY NIKOLINA SUSNIC.
PJESMA ZA MALOGA BRATA
Sine,
u svojoj ljutnji naspram starijeg brata
ne zaboravi,
kada si pao niz stepenice
i ja nisam bila pored
Dok si ležao u nesvijesti u krilu starijeg brata
dozivao te imenom da ostaneš s njim
na putu u bolnicu
ne zaboravi,
spasio ti je život
Sine,
to ti je jedini brat kojeg imaš
stoga budi strpljiv s njim
kada mama nije tu
Sine,
život nam nije bio lagan
za razliku od drugih
zbog prljavih igrica moćnika
koji misle da su bogovi
mi smo ih nadjačali
sa upornošću, izdržljivošću
i sa puno rana dosada
zato ne zaboravi u svojoj ljutnji
tvoj stariji brat te jako voli
zato jer si mu ti sve što ima
POEM FOR A LITTLE BROTHER
Son
In your anger
Towards your big brother
Don’t forget
When you fell from the staircase
And mum was not around at that time
It was on your big brother’s lap
You were laid on
And he called you non-stop
Making you conscious all the time
On the way to hospital
That saved your life
Son
That’s the only sibling you have
So be patient with him
When mum is no longer around
Son
Life
Had not been easy for us unlike other’s
Due to games played by dirty hands
Wanting to be gods
We had gone through them
With patience, perseverance
And plenty of deep wounds till now
So don’t forget that in his rage
Your big brother
Loves you very much
Because you are all he has
