Ο ΠΡΩΤΟΣ ΘΑΝΑΤΟΣ ΤΟΥ ΠΟΙΗΤΗ ΓΙΑΖΡΑ ΧΑΛΕΝΤ

Θα έχω το τέλος μετανάστη από την Τσετσενία
Θα με βρείτε πεταμένο στα σκουπίδια
Με το λαιμό κομμένο και τα χέρια κρύα
Στην πλατεία θα πουν: Αναπαύτηκε εν πολέμω
Κι αν διαδώσετε το λόγο μου στα πέρατα της γης
εγώ σαν πάνθηρας θα επιστρέψω μια ωραία πρωία

Θα έχω το τέλος πόρνης από τη Σενεγάλη
Θα με βρείτε πεταμένο στον ακάλυπτο
Με μια σφαίρα μπάτσου στο κεφάλι
Στην πλατεία θα πουν: Μακάριοι οι πολεμοποιοί
Κι αν μου φορτώσετε τις αμαρτίες των ποιητών
εγώ απ’ τις στάχτες τους θα γεννηθώ και πάλι

DES DICHTERS JAZRA KHALEED ERSTER TOD

Wie ein tschetschenischer Migrant will ich enden
Auf dem Müll sollt ihr mich finden
Der Hals durchtrennt, Kälte in den Händen
Auf dem Platz wird man sagen: Im Kriege gefallen
Reicht ihr mein Wort weiter bis ans Ende der Welt
kehr ich als Panther irgendwann wieder

Wie eine senegalesische Hure will ich enden
Im Lichtschacht sollt ihr mich finden
Eine Bullenkugel in der Schläfe
Auf dem Platz wird man sagen: Selig die Kriegstreiber
Ladet ihr mir auf die Sünden der Dichter
tauche ich neu geboren aus ihrer Asche

Language: spanish

LA PRIMERA MUERTE DEL POETA JAZRA KHALEED

Tendré el final de un inmigrante de Chechenia
Me hallaréis tirado en la basura
Con el cuello cortado y las manos frías
En la plaza dirán: Descanse en guerra
Y si en el fin del mundo se difunde mi palabra
regresaré un buen día cual pantera

Tendré el final de una meretriz de Senegal
Me hallaréis tirado en el patio interior
Con la bala de un poli en la cabeza
En la plaza dirán: Bienaventurados los beligerantes
Y si me endilgáis los pecados de los poetas
renaceré de nuevo de mis cenizas

AN CÉAD BUILLE BÁIS AN FHILE JAZRA KHALEED

Gheobhaidh mé an bás d’inimirceach ón tSeisnia
Tiocfaidh tú orm caite sa bhruscar
Le scornach ghearrtha is lámha fuara
Deir siad sa phlás: cogadh síoraí dá hanam
Is má ag deireadh an domhain craoltar m’fhocal
Fillfead ar maidin mhaith mar phantar

Gheobhaidh mé an bás de striapach ón tSeineagáil
Tiocfaidh tú orm caite i gcúl an tí
Le piléar an phéas sa chloigeann
Deir siad sa phlás: is beannaithe iad na cogaíochta
Is má charnann tú peacaí na bhfilí orm
Tiocfad ar an saol arís as mo luaithreach

Language: portuguese

A PRIMEIRA MORTE DO POETA JAZRA KHALEED

Vou acabar como um imigrante da Tchetchênia
Vão me encontrar caído por aí
O pescoço cortado, as mãos frias
Na praça vão dizer: morto a serviço da guerra
Se até no fim do mundo o que eu digo for ouvido
Vou voltar algum dia como uma pantera

Vou acabar como uma prostituta do Senegal
Vão me encontrar jogada num terreno baldio
Uma bala perdida na cabeça
Na praça vão dizer: sagrados são os nomes de guerra
Se me vestirem com os pecados dos poetas
Vou poder renascer das suas cinzas

Language: chinese

诗人贾拉・卡里的第一次死亡

我会像一个车臣的移民那样死去
丢弃在垃圾堆里
切断的喉咙冰冷的双手
人们会在广场上说：他战死了
若你将我的话传遍地极
我便在阳光灿烂的日子如猎豹般归来

我会像一个塞内加尔的妓女那样死去
在露天的坟场
头里留有警察的子弹
人们会在广场上说：好战者有福了
若你让我背负诗人的原罪
我便再次从灰烬中重生

* 21.05.1979, Grozny, Russia
lives in: Athens, Greece

Jazra Khaleed is a poet, translator, and filmmaker. He is a Greek citizen and lives in Exarhia, Athens; he writes exclusively in Greek. His works are an indictment of fascism, social injustice, police brutality, and racism in contemporary Greece.

His most recent publications are The Light That Burns Us (World Poetry Books, USA, 2021) and μα είν' αυτό ποίηση; (but is this poetry?, Teflon Books, Greece, 2020). His poems have been widely translated for publications in Europe, the US, Australia, and Asia, and have appeared in The Guardian, The Los Angeles Review of Books, World Literature Today, Lichtungen, Modern Poetry in Translation, Glänta, Die Horen and other publications.

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. He performs his poetry at a lightning clip — so fast the Nazis can barely keep up, let alone talk back — a hip-hop emcee in a fever". 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).

As a founding editor of the Athenian 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, Keston Sutherland, Lionel Fogarty, 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), Experiments in Cinema (USA), Internationale Kurzfilmtage Winterthur (Switzerland), Kasseler Dokfest (Germany), Entrevues Belfort (France), L’Alternativa (Spain) among others. The film rendition of his poem about the immigrant situation, “The Aegean or the Anus of Death,” won prizes at the Paris Festival for Different and Experimental Cinema, the Zebra Poetry Film Festival, and the Balkans Beyond Borders Short Film Festival.
