ΡΕΦΡΑΙΝ

Με λένε Γ-Ι-Α-Ζ-Ρ-Α
Γεννήθηκα στης Δύσης το σκοτάδι
Λαθραίος μένω σε πείσμα αριστερών
Όμορφα περνά το βράδυ
Τσακίζοντας κεφάλια φασιστών

Ich heiße J-A-Z-R-A
bin geboren im finstren Abendland
nenn mich Illegaler den Linken zum Trotz
gemütlich verbring ich den Abend
Faschistenschädel spaltend.

My name is J-A-Z-R-A
Here I’m illegal, in spite of the Left
I was born in the dusk of the West
And this evening is just splendid
For smashing fascist heads

Zovem se J-A-Z-R-A
Rodio sam se u tami Zapada
Živim kao ilegalac u inat levičarima
Provodim prijatno veče
Razbijajući glave fašistima

REFREN

Non mwen se J-A-Z-R-A

Ala yon bèl sware

اللازمة الشعرية

اسمي ج - ز- ر - ة

وُلدتُ في عتمة الغرب
و يا لها من أمسيةٍ ملائِمةٍ
لتحطيم رؤوس الفاشيين

REFREN

Emnin e kam J-A-Z-R-A
Këtu jam ilegal, përkundër të Majtes
U linda në muzgun e Perëndimit
Dhe kjo mbramje asht bash për mrekulli
me dërrmu koka fashiste

REFRÁN

Me llamo J-A-Z-R-A
Nací en el ocaso de occidente
Clandestino permanezco pese a la izquierda
Y hermosa transcurre la noche
destrozando cabezas fascistas

REFREIN

Mijin naam is Griekse Y-A-Z-R-A
Geboren in het donker van het westen
Ondanks het linkse striven illegaal
Voel ik me ’s avonds laat het allerbeste
Wanneer ik een fascistenkop verbouw

According to The Los Angeles Review of Books, “[Jazra Khaleed] stands up to fascism by writing and performing Greek-language poetry that is unmatched in technical bravura, emotional depth, and political urgency”. His performances have been described as “possessing the kind of energy that pervades the riots on the streets of Athens” (Süddeutsche Zeitung), “explosive” (Berliner Zeitung) and “wild, energetic and forceful” (junge Welt).

He has won the Soundout! Award for New Ways of Presenting Literature (Germany) and the Crystal Vilenica Prize (Slovenia) and has received residences and fellowships from the Federal Chancellery of Austria, the Kone Foundation (Finland), the Robert Bosch Stiftung (Germany), the International Writer’s House Graz (Austria), the Künstlerdorf Schöppingen Foundation (Germany), the Syros International Film Festival (Greece) and Centrale Fies (Italy).

As a founding editor of the Athens-based poetry magazine Teflon, and particularly through his own translations published there, he has introduced to a Greek readership the works of Amiri Baraka, Keston Sutherland, Etel Adnan, Bert Papenfuß, Safia Elhillo, Ann Cotten, Lionel Fogarty, Audre Lorde, Ghayath Almadhoun among many other American, British, Australian, Arab and German-language political and experimental poets.

His short films have been screened at festivals such as the Ann Arbor Film Festival (USA), VASTLAB Experimental (USA), Internationale Kurzfilmtage Winterthur (Switzerland), Kasseler Dokfest (Germany), Biennial de la Imagen en Movimiento (Argentina), Entrevues Belfort (France), L’Alternativa (Spain) and Cooler Lumpur (Malaysia). They have won prizes at the Paris Festival for Different and Experimental Cinema, the Zebra Poetry Film Festival, the Cadence Video Poetry Festival, and the Balkans Beyond Borders Short Film Festival.
