Paroles et traduction Mohsen Namjoo - Che Khabar

Che Khabar

چه خبر؟
چه خبر؟
مرگِ عالَمی تنها.
خاطرش خُفته، شاهدش سَفَری.
جانِ جانان،کجا؟
ورای کجا
گوشه زد با ستاره ی سحری
چه خبر؟
مرگِ دل
گُلی ندمید
تا به لُطفِ هوا، به گریه ی ابر
از زمینْ رازِ آسمان نچشید
تازه شد داغِ لاله های طَری
چه خبر؟
مرگِ حقْحق و هوهو
لال شد مرغ و نغمه رفت از یاد
تا که گُنگانِ دهزبانِ دورو
نازْمستی کنند و جلوه گری
چه خبر؟
مرگِ قول و فصلِ خطاب
سپر افکند هر زبان آور
قَبَسی زنده کرد، نَک چه جواب
چون نَفَس بر میاوَرَد شجری
قَبَسی زنده کرد، نَک چه جواب
چون نَفَس بر میاوَرَد شجری
چه خبر؟
تا کمانِ غمزه کشید
از سَمَن تا چمن بشارت رفت؛
نَحْل پوسید و جز غبار ندید
کس بر اوراقِ بوستان اثری
نَحْل پوسید و جز غبار ندید
کس بر اوراقِ بوستان اثری
دودِ دل تا برآوَرَد شبنم
از نظر رفت و یادِ غنچه نماند
شُکْرُلله که از صفای اِرَم
سَمَری ماند و لیلةُالقَمَری
چه خبر؟
دنیا تیْه بود و بی سر و ته
"خانه آباد" گفت و دید و شنید
شاهدی می کُنند و بَهبَهبَه
مگسِ بیمَریّ و خِیْلِ خری

What News

What news?
What news?
Death of the world alone.
His memory sleeps, His witness is a journey.
Soul of souls, where?
Beyond nowhere
retired with the morning star
What news?
Death of the heart
No flower bloomed
Until, with the grace of the air, with the tear of the cloud
From the earth the secret of heaven was not tasted
The wound of fresh tulips was renewed
What news?
Death of falsehood and uproar
The bird was silenced and the melody was forgotten
Until the tongueless hypocrites
Make their false pride and show off
What news?
Death of promise and separation of speech
Every eloquent tongue has surrendered
A spark revived, so what answer
As breath brings forth a tree
A spark revived, so what answer
As breath brings forth a tree
What news?
Until the bow of coquetry was drawn
From Samin to Chaman, good news went;
The honeybee decayed and saw nothing but dust
No one on the pages of the garden's trace
The honeybee decayed and saw nothing but dust
No one on the pages of the garden's trace
The smoke of the heart until it brings forth dew
From sight is gone and the memory of the bud remains not
Thank God that from the purity of Eram
A fruit remained and the Night of the Moon
What news?
The world was a maze and without beginning or end
Said and saw and heard "the house is prosperous"
They bear witness and boast
The fly of disease and the army of asses
