My translation of "Eygns" by Yankev Glatshteyn

[kotonas]

From album Vasarą galvoj minoras (In Summer Head's Playing Minor) Katarsis on Spotify | Youtube | Translated singable lyrics below

Spengia Galvoje (Ringing in My Head)

Ringing in my head I don't want to think of what will remain of future me Into the dark have my dreams and hopes all disappeared Rain is pouring down, soaking softening my hair in the night Moving on his feet, man believes that his moons got stolen off

Was at rock bottom, I was Came up to the surface to see nothing left intact here anymore Was at rock bottom, I was Came up to the surface to see nothing left intact here anymore

Was at rock bottom, I was Came up to the surface to see nothing left intact here anymore Was at rock bottom, I was Came up to the surface to see nothing left intact here anymore

Ringing in my head

"Of all religious rituals, the practice of Sukkot is nearest to theater: the Sukkah is literally a stage — boards nailed together, a roof of branches overhead, and a window to look through, though one needn't really look elsewhere. Every religious Jew used to live in his house, and in his yard build a theater for a week's time — in which to perform. Eating in one's home is eating, but to eat in the Sukkah is to stage a play. The same meal transferred from house to Sukkah is an act of theater." - B. Rivkin, Yidishe yomtoyvim

“crisis,” by yonatan ratosh, israeli jewish poet and philosopher. a revisionist zionist-turned-originator of “canaanism,” an anti-zionist ideology that attempted to create a hebrew identity for all residents of historic palestine, predicated on a rejection of all modern religion (including [and especially] judaism) and dedication to an indigenous “canaanite” nationalism. he was also the first translator of science fiction into hebrew.

my ear remains an oyster

full of thunderous memory

and your pearling voice.”
