Mahmoud Darwish: To My Mother (From Arabic)

Translation (1)

My Mother
by Mahmoud Darwish
I long for my mother's bread
My mother's coffee
Her touch
Childhood memories grow up in me
Day after day
I must be worth my life
At the hour of my death
Worth the tears of my mother

Translation (2)
To My Mother
By Mahmoud Darwish
Translated by A.Z. Foreman

Dearly I yearn for my mother's bread,


My mother's coffee,
Mother's brushing touch.
Childhood is raised in me,
Day upon day in me.
And I so cherish life
Because if I died
My mother's tears would shame me.

)Translation (HW
