Poetry for Amal

Parchment

Witaj Amal! Jak przebiegła Twoja podróż? Czy była męczaca? Ile dzieci poznałaś na swojej drodze? Zastanawiam się o jakim domu marzysz? Mam nadzieję, że będzie pachniał pomarańcza Czy odnalazłaś już swoja mamę? Mam nadzieję, że tak i już na zawsze będziecie razem Czy jesteś szczęśliwa? Jak długa była Twoja podróż? Ufam, że kiedyś Cię poznam A wtedy odpowiesz na wszystkie moje pytania Twój przyjaciel- Gustaw

Дом, где тепло и уют, Где счастье есть и свет, Защита и радостный смех. Дом там, где мама&nbsp; Читает сказки перед сном, И папа с братом играет в футбол. Дом, где любовь живёт, Полон друзей, добра. Там меня счастье ждёт,&nbsp; Встреч и разлук пора. Ждёт меня милый пёс, Радостный слышу лай. Лапу и влажный нос -&nbsp; Мячик летит - играй! Детство моё - мой дом Песня моя о нём!

My house is warm and cozy, Where happiness is and light, Caring and moments are bright. Home where mom Reads fairy tales before bedtime, And my dad and brother Play football outside. The house where love lives, Full of friends and kindness. Happiness awaits for me,&nbsp; For meetings and partings. My cute dog is waiting for me, I hear a joyful barking. Four paws and wet nose -&nbsp; The ball flies - acting ! My childhood is my home My song is about my home!

Дом&nbsp;там, где мама рядом, Поддержка и тепло, Собака ждёт родная, Фонарный свет горит в окно; И голос безмятежный Зовёт меня есть суп. Ярки мечты, надежды, Пока свечи свет не потух. Дом там, где безопасно, Где можно отдохнуть, От всех проблем укрыться И в теплоте уснуть. Дом там, где ты всем важен, Где ты любим и тебя ждут. Не чувствуешь опасность, А лишь тепло, любовь, уют.

Home is where I’m with my mother, Support and warmth surround me always, And a puppy waits for my arrival, A streetlamp light shines on the curtains. And a voice, that’s so familiar Calls for me to eat dinner, I treasure dreams so dearly While warmth of candle heats the air near me. Home where it is safe, And where you can relax, Hide from all your problems And fall asleep not late at night,&nbsp; At home you are important, Where you are loved and waited for. Ans there is no danger, But only comfort, warmth and love.

Poesia para Amal Amanhã, quando as ondas deixarem de nos guiar, vamos chegar ao litoral, e rezamos para a sorte nos obsequiar, e mais uma vez levaremos uma vida tão pastoral, todos na esperança de uma vida sem pavor. Agora longe da segurança, Eu procuro algo aconchegante, Mas até com toda minha confiança, Eu me sinto quase arrogante, Porque tudo fora do meu controle, É fatigante

Poem for Amal Tomorrow, when the waves stop guiding us, let's get to the coast, and we pray for luck to accommodate us, and once again we will lead such a pastoral life, all hoping for a life without fear. Now away from safety, I look for something cozy, But even with all my confidence, I feel almost arrogant, Because everything out of my control, It's tiring.

Jeg har jo prøvet at gå Jeg har jo prøvet at vifte med armene Jeg har jo prøvet at løbe Men jeg har aldrig løbet for mit liv Jeg har jo prøvet at rejse&nbsp; Jeg har jo prøvet at ligge på en madras&nbsp; Men jeg har aldrig ligget i en Jeg er aldrig blevet smuglet

Jeg har jo prøvet at skyde&nbsp; Men jeg har aldrig hørt skuddene suse forbi mig Jeg har jo prøvet at blive dræbt&nbsp; men så venter jeg bare til næste runde Jeg har jo prøvet at falde Men jeg er bare blevet samlet op igen Jeg har jo prøvet at skrive et digt Men jeg har aldrig skrevet et digt til en flygtning

I've tried to walk&nbsp; I have tried to wave my arms&nbsp; I have tried to run&nbsp; But I have never run for my life&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I've tried to travel&nbsp; I have tried to lie on a mattress&nbsp; But I've never been&nbsp;in&nbsp;one&nbsp; I've never been smuggled&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I've tried to shoot&nbsp; But I have never heard the shots whiz past me&nbsp; I've tried to be killed&nbsp; But then I just wait for the next round&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I've tried&nbsp;to fall&nbsp; But I've just been picked up again&nbsp; I have tried to write a poem&nbsp; But I have never written a poem for a refugee&nbsp;

Jaren&nbsp;in hetzelfde huis &nbsp; echt&nbsp;jouw plek &nbsp; maar&nbsp;dat verandert nu&nbsp; &nbsp; Jaren&nbsp;dezelfde kamer &nbsp; Veel herinneringen&nbsp; Je&nbsp;speelde daar met vrienden &nbsp; maar&nbsp;dat verandert nu&nbsp; &nbsp; Jaren&nbsp;jouw eigen&nbsp;spullen&nbsp; Die spullen die jouw kamer jouw&nbsp;kamer&nbsp;maakten&nbsp; Niks&nbsp;kan mee&nbsp; &nbsp; Jaren&nbsp;in de nabijheid van dezelfde vertrouwde gezichten&nbsp; Je vrienden&nbsp; Je familie&nbsp; Die blijven&nbsp;achter&nbsp; Alles verandert&nbsp;nu&nbsp;

Years&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;same&nbsp;house&nbsp; Your&nbsp;very own&nbsp;place&nbsp; but that's changing now&nbsp; &nbsp; Years&nbsp;your very own&nbsp;room&nbsp; Many memories&nbsp; You&nbsp;played there with friends&nbsp; but that's changing now&nbsp; &nbsp; Years of your own&nbsp;things&nbsp; Those things that made your room,&nbsp;your room&nbsp; Can’t take them with you&nbsp;now&nbsp; &nbsp; Years&nbsp;close&nbsp;to the same familiar faces&nbsp; Your friends&nbsp; Your family&nbsp; They are left behind&nbsp; Everything is changing now&nbsp;

Poema para Amal Por mares, montañas y desiertos he tenido que cruzar, mis amigos y mi país tuve que dejar atrás. Una nueva vida está ahora por empezar en un lugar al que aprenderé a amar aún más. El miedo de no tener amigos me invade, la soledad no hace más que aterrarme. Tendré que ser valiente y no desagradable, para poder ser feliz y lograr adaptarme. No será fácil cambiar mi vida. Algunas noches añoraré mi hogar, pero el tiempo sanará mi herida, y pronto podré otra vez disfrutar.

Poem for Amal Through seas, mountains and deserts I have had to cross, my friends and my country I had to leave behind. A new life is now about to begin In a place I'll learn to love even more The fear of not having friends invades me, loneliness only terrifies me. I will have to be brave and not unpleasant, in order to be happy and adapt. It will not be easy to change my life. Some nights I'll miss my home But time will heal my wound and soon I will be able to enjoy again.

Allir eiga rétt á heimili. &nbsp;Heimilið er ekki endilega þar sem þú býrð, heimilið er þar sem þú finnur öryggi, heimilið er þar sem fólki er umhugað um þig &nbsp;og þú er mikilvægur. &nbsp;Þú getur gengið og gengið og haldið áfram að ganga &nbsp;til að finna þetta heimili en þegar þú finnur það líður þér eins og að allt þitt líf hafi þér verið ætlað að vera þarna. Með vinum eða fjölskyldu eða jafnvel&nbsp; einn með sjálfum þér. &nbsp;Þetta heimili er þar sem þú ert ánægður.

Everyone has the right to a home. Home isn’t just where you live, home is where you feel safe, home is where you feel wanted and cared for. You can walk and walk and keep walking to find this home but when you reach it, you feel different as if your whole life you were just meant to be there. With friends or family or even by yourself. This home is where you are happy

Dom Sta je dom? Gde je dom? Moj dom nije London u kome zivim, Moj dom nije Makedonija gde sam rodjen. Moj dom je Srbija. Srbija, to su moji prijatelji Srbija to je moja rodbina Srbija to su moji prvi koraci Srbija tu sam postigao prvi kos Dom I osecanje gostoljubivosti Kada mi dodju najbolji drugari Ili kada baba donese domaci sok od visnje Mozda ce mi I London jednog dana biti dom Ceo svet je veliki dom.

Home What I home? Where I home? My home is not London where I live. My home is not Macedonija where I was born. My home is Serbia. Serbia- it’s my friends Serbia-it’s my family Serbia-it’s my first Serbia-it’s where I scored my first basketball point Home is a fealing of hospitality when my best friend visit Or when grandma brings homemade cherry jujce. Maybe London will be my home one day. The whole world is one big home.

L’angoscia della camminata Il freddo come nel deserto di notte, che passa dentro di lei ogni volta che viaggia tra le montagne e le colline. L` insicurezza e la paura mentre passa in mezzo alle persone da citta` a citta`, Il timore di lasciare Il proprio paese e I popri amici, il bisogno di dovergli parlare e sentire le loro voci. Il terrore di non essere apprezzato dalle persone, e` l`angoscia di non poter vedere la popria famiglia. Povera lei che deve passare tutte le giornate da sola, Povera lei che deve soffrire per la mancanza della propria famiglia, Povera lei che deve soffrire la mancanza dei propri amici. Anche dopo tutte queste difficolta, Lei rimane forte e impavida, Lei rimane coraggiosa e tenace. La forza di questa ragazza è inspiegabile.

The fear of the walk The cold in the desert at night, That goes through her every time she travels between mountains and hills. The insecurity and the fear that she feels while she goes through all the people between city and city, The fear of leaving her own country and friends, The need to talk to them and hear their voices. The fear of not being appreciated by the people, And the anguish of not being able to see her own family. Poor her that has live all her days by herself, Poor her that has to suffer because she misses her own family, Poor her that has to suffer because she misses her own friends. Even after all these difficulties, She remains strong and fearless, She remains brave and tenacious. The strength of this girl is inexplicable.

This book contains poems written by the secondary students in International School of London. In September 2021, students explored Amal's story and created poetry connected to the themes of Amal's walk. Most of the students in our school speak two or more languages, and therefore they mainly chose to write in their first languages, languages other than English. This anthology contains a selection of poems from all the languages spoken in our school. Enjoy!

Poème Une nouvelle aventure commmence aujourd´hui, La peur de laisser mon pays natal m´envahit, Il est maintenant l´heure de découvrir, Un nouveau monde qui me fera sourire. Le voyage ne sera ni harmonieux, ni court, La mer me jouera énormément de tours, Des montagnes se dresseront devant moi, Des rivieres, des deserts, sans oublier les bois. Après avoir passé cette longue odyssée, Avec périples et de terribles dangers, Je me retrouverai finalement chez moi, Entourée de ceux que j´aime et pleine de joie.

A new adventure starts today, The fear to leave my birth country is surrounding me, It is now time to discover, A new world that will make me smile. The journey will be neither harmonious nor short, The ocean will play tricks on me, Mountains will stand up before me, Rivers, deserts and woods too. After this long Odyssey, With obstacles and scary dangers, I will finally be at home, Joyful and surrounded by the people I love.

home Дом-место куда я могу всегда пойти&nbsp;&nbsp; Привезити&nbsp;меня&nbsp;домой&nbsp;когда мне будет плохо&nbsp;&nbsp; Я не нашла лучше лекарства от одиночества,&nbsp; И любой болезни-чем дом.&nbsp;&nbsp; kalabalık&nbsp;sokaklar, ama ben&nbsp;yalnızım&nbsp; yalnızlığa&nbsp;çare&nbsp;bulamadım&nbsp; hastalık&nbsp;için&nbsp;çare&nbsp;bulamadım&nbsp; burada&nbsp;hiçbir&nbsp;şey&nbsp;ev&nbsp;gibi&nbsp;hissettirir&nbsp; J’ai&nbsp;traversé&nbsp;tellement&nbsp;de&nbsp;douleur&nbsp; et&nbsp;c’est difficile à maintenir, n’importe quel sourire sur mon visage,&nbsp; donc&nbsp;j’ai besoin de revenir mais ma maison n’est pas sur la carte&nbsp; juste&nbsp;pour être sûr que ces derniers jours sont meilleurs&nbsp; quelqu’un&nbsp;me ramène à la maison.&nbsp;

A home-place I can always go&nbsp;&nbsp; Bring me home when I feel bad&nbsp;&nbsp; I haven't found a better cure for loneliness.&nbsp; And any disease-than home.&nbsp; crowded streets, but I'm alone&nbsp; I couldn't find a cure for&nbsp;loneliness&nbsp; I couldn't find a cure for the disease&nbsp; nothing feels like home here&nbsp; and it's hard to maintain, any smile on my face,&nbsp; so&nbsp;I need to come&nbsp;back&nbsp;but my house is not on the map&nbsp; just to be sure that these last few days are better&nbsp; someone&nbsp;takes&nbsp;me home.&nbsp;

Matkalla Katson taaksepäin toivon näkeväni tutun kodin, tutun talon, tutun kadun. Mutta ainoa asia mitä näen, on vieraita koteja, vieraita taloja, vieraita katuja. Katson eteenpäin toivon näkeväni tutun naaman, tutun hymyn, tutun ihmisen. Mutta ainoa asia mitä näen, on vieraita naamoja, vieraita kyyneleitä, vieraita ihmisiä. Katson sivuille en enää uskalla toivoa. Tiedän, ettei siellä ole mitään tuttua. En tiedä, mihin olen menossa. Tiedän, että en voi pysähtyä. En tiedä, olenko minnekkään tervetullut. Tiedän, että matkaa täytyy jatkaa. En tiedä, loppuuko tämä koskaan.

Travelling I look back I hope to see a familiar home, familiar house, familiar street. But the only thing I see is foreign homes, foreign houses, foreign streets. I look forward I hope to see a familiar face, familiar smile, a familiar person. But the only thing I see is foreign faces, foreign tears foreign strangers. I look around I no longer dare to hope. I know there is nothing familiar there. I don't know where I'm going. I know I can't stop. I don't know if I'm welcome anywhere. I know the journey must continue. I don't know if this will ever end.
