عشنا بسعادة خلال الحرب،


ايليا خامينسكي
****
عشنا بسعادة خلال الحرب،
وعندما دمّروا بيوت الاخرين، تظاهرنا
ولكن ليس بما يكفي، قاومناهم
ولكن ليس بما يكفي. 
... 
(الشعر الكامل بالإنجليزية بالأسفل)
Ilya Kaminsky
****
We Lived Happily During the War
and when they bombed other people’s houses, we
protested
but not enough, we opposed them but not
enough. I was
in my bed, around my bed America
was falling: invisible house by invisible house by invisible house.
I took a chair outside and watched the sun
in the sixth month
of a disastrous reign in the house of money
in the street of money in the city of money, in the country of money,
our great country of money, we (forgive us) 
lived happily during the war
