El Día de San Valentín es todos los días porque siempre busco por amor en todo.

የቫለንታይን ቀን ሁሉ ቀን ነው ም���ኒያቱም ፍቅር ከሁሉንም ሁሉ ጊዜ ማ��ኘት እሞክራለሁ.

valentine's day is every day because I'm always looking for love in everything

[language-noob]

“No puedo pensar de una felicidad más mayor que estar contigo todo del tiempo, sin interrupción, para siempre, aunque siento que en este mundo no hay un lugar tranquilo por nuestro amor, ni en el pueblo ni ningún otro; y sueño de una tumba, honda y angosta, donde podemos agarrarnos en nuestros brazos como grapas, y cubriría mi cara en ti y cubrirías tu cara en mi y nadie ya no nos verían.”

“ስለ ደስታ ያአንቺ ጋር ሁሉ ጊዜ መሆን, መቋረት ያለ, ለዘላለም ከጀምር ማሳብ አልችልም. ቦታ ያልተበረሸ ለፍቅረን አለም ውስጥ ከመንደር ዌይስ ከሌላ ያለ, ይሰማኛል ቢሆንም. እና ስለ መቃብሩን, ጥልቅ ና ጠባብ, ዬት አንዱ ለሌላው ከዬኛ ክንድ መያዠን, እንደ መቆንጠጦችን, እና ካአንቺ ውስጥ ፊቴ ብደበቅ ኖሮ እና ከኔ ውስጥ ፊትሽ ብደበቅሽ ኖሮ. እና ምንም ሰው አይማየተንም ከእንግዴ."

Si el diablo en alguna vez fuera a verte, besaría tus ojos y se arrepentiría.

Los ojos de ella son estrellas.

Sus ojos estaban brillando más luminoso que las estrellas de mañana.

Hundo en tus ojos cuando te miro.

Y entonces, “Acá viene tu bebé”

Y acá mi bebé vino

Por el todo de eso luz de sol

La cara de él colorado y su pelo volando

Sus ojos, increíblemente como las estrellas de mañana.

Mi cariño, ¿tus ojos no están cansados de ser vasto y hermoso?

መቼም ሴጣን ላንቺ ቢአየሽ, አይንሽ ቢሳመ ኖሮ እና ንስሐ ቢግባት ኖሮ.

እይንሽ ኮከቦች ናቸው.

አይንዋ ከየጠዋት ኮከብ የበለጠ ከብሩህ እያብራቱ ነበር.

ከአይንሽ እሰጠማለሁ ስአየሁሽ.

እና ከዛ: “እ�� ሕፃኔ ዪመጣል”

እና እዚ ሕፃኔ መጣ.

በኩል ሁሉም ከፀሃይ መብራት.

ፋቱ ቀይ እና ጸጉር እየመብረር.

አይኖቹን, በማይታመን, እንደ የጠዋት ኮከቦች ናቸው.

የኔ ፍቅር, አይኖችሽ በፍጹም ከበጣም ሰፍ እና ቆንጆ መሆን ደከመዋል?

No necesitamos palabras, solamente nos miramos y sonreímos.

ቃሎች አንያስፈልግናልም, ብቻ መልከተነን እና ጻቀን.

Matar nuestra vida de sueños sería matarnos, a mutilarnos nuestro alma. Soñar es la una cosa tenemos que es realmente la nuestra, invulnerablemente y inalterablemente nuestra.

የህልም ሕይወታችን መግደል እራሳችንን ይመግደል ነው, ነፍሳችን መቁረት. ማለም ያለን አንድ ነገርን እንደአለን የኛ ነው, እሱ በፍጹም አይቀየራልም.

Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

Yo pienso de las todas maneras que la sociedad siempre ha odiado a los niños. De las pistolas a pobreza, alojamiento, educación, las comidas de escuela, fórmula para bebés. Les quedamos con nada. Ningún político debe estar permitido a disfrutar ni un plato en público.

ስለ ሁሉም መንገዶች ህብረተሰብ ለልጃች ተጥላቶ አሳባለሁ. ከሽጉቶች እና ድህነት, መኖሪያ ቤት, ትምህርት, ከትምህርት ቤት ምግቦች, የሕፃን ቀመር. ምንም አንሰጠናቸውም. ማንም ፖለቲከኛ በአደባባይ ምግብ መደሰት እንዲፈቀድላቸው የለበት.

“No debes nada a nadie” no es una filosofía de amor ni es sostenible. Nos debemos mucho.

“ለማንም ምንም አለብህ” የፍቅር ፍልስፍና አይደለም እና የማይቻል ነው. ላንዱ ለሌላው ብዙ አለበን.

“You owe no one anything” is not a philosophy of love nor is it sustainable. We owe each other a lot.

[language-noob]

Yo solía admirar personas que no tienen problemas con nada. Hoy en día, las mujeres que admiro son las mujeres que nunca pretenden a ser diferente que como son. Mujeres como esa expresan su enojada. Admiten cuando sienten mal. No se castigan por sus humores malos. Se permiten a estar gruñones a veces. Se dan el derecho a estar malhumoradas, o de decir nada, o declinar su ofrecida sin una explicación larga.

A veces se parece como el resto de nosotros estamos en una infinita cinta transportadora de autosuperación. Estamos corriendo rápido a rápido, luchando a ser nuestras selvas mejores pero cada día fallamos y nos odiamos por eso.

ችግር ዬለማችን ሰዎች ማድነቃለሁ ነበር. አሁን, ሴቶች ከራሳቸው የተለየ መሆን አታስመስላችም. ሴቶች እንደዛ ቁጣቸው ዩግልጻሉ. ሲመናደዱ ይሆኑ ዪቀባሉ. ስለ ስሜቶቻው መጥፎች አትቅጣታሉም. አንዳንዴ ተበሳጨ መሆን ዪፍቀዳሉ. ስለ ቁጡ መሆን መብት ዪሰጣቸዉ, ዌይስ ስለ ምንም መናገር, ዌይስ ብዙ ማብራሪያ ያለ ለእቀረበህ አትመቀበል.

ብዙ ጊዜ የእራስ ማሻሻል ተይዘናል እነሆን ዩመስላል. ጦሎ በጦሎ እዞራለን, ምርጥ ራስናችኖች መሆን እየመታገል, ግን ሁሉም ቀን ስኬታማ አንሆናለንም እና ለይህ እንጠላናለን.

“I am hopelessly a lover, and a dreamer, and that will be the death of me.”

— Rupi Kaur (via rupikaurpoems)

[language-noob]

¿Qué para decir? El término del amor es una inolvidable. Una inolvidable de los sueños. Una inolvidable de silencio. Cuando estás perseguido por los fantasmas es muy fácil a convertirte en un fantasma. Vida mengua. El pulso es demasiado ligero. Algunas personas aprueban esto y lo llaman cicatrizador. No es cicatrizador. Un cuerpo muerto no se siente dolor.

[ID: excerpt from ‘The Powerbook,’ Jeanette Winterson 

“What to say? That the end of love is a haunting. A haunting of dreams. A haunting of silence. Haunted by ghosts it is easy to become a ghost. Life ebbs. The pulse is too faint. Nothing stirs you. Some people approve of this and call it healing. It is not healing. A dead body feels no pain.”]

When I studied abroad, I thought my host family just had difficulty pronouncing my name. They didn’t try very hard before deciding that they’d just call me Brahim and be done with it.

This kept happening no matter where I went in Morocco. Even fluent English speakers decided to give me alternative names, and I just shrugged it off as the consequence of one of the syllables being very unusual in Arabic.

That is, until one day I was talking to a shopkeeper in the souk and he asked me my name. I gave him my English one, and explained that I also answer to Brahim (and Daud, and… more than I can remember). He laughed hysterically and looked shocked, calling his friend over from the back of the shop.

“Tell him your name,” he said excitedly. I did so.

The other man’s face cycled through several expressions very quickly—surprise, anger, suspicion, and then exasperation when he realized his friend had set me up.

They very kindly explained to me that my name spoken with a Moroccan accent sounds very much like an Arabic profanity, and that I should definitely introduce myself as Brahim or give an alternative English name when meeting new people, because shaking hands with strangers and saying “Hello, I’m Fuck Your Mother’s Religion” is not a greeting that will win me many friends.

So. Brahim it was.
