Text & Translation |
It (The house) definitely was in the hands of (under
management of) my mother. |
حتماً دست مادر من بوده. |
|
Hello (Arabic, "peace be upon you"), |
سلام علیکم |
|
I exactly see these palms like my mother, |
دقیقاً این نخل‌ها رو
(را) مثلِ مادرم می‌بینم، |
|
Each of them…the thing is (chiz hast) … has a
kind of maternal feeling and hint (smell) of mother
for me. |
هر کدومشون (کدامشان)...اه...چیز هست
(است)...یک جور حس مادرانه و بوی مادر داره
(دارد) برای من |
|
What nights [they were when] in Tehran I could live just by
eating the dates of these palms! |
چه شب‌هایی که تو (در) تهران فقط با
خوردن خرماهای این نخل‌ها،
من تونستم (توانستم) زندگی بکنم! |
|
I grew up in (tu=dar) Sirch and there (unjā = ānjā) weren’t [any] palm tree(s)
there. |
من تو سیرچ بزرگ شدم و اونجا نخل
نبود |
|
And I would think about these dates that I was eating;
what did their (its) tree look like?! |
و فکر می‌کردم این خرمایی که می‌خورم،
این درختش چه جوریه! |
|
I mean, [when] I wished (my heart wanted) someday (one
day) to write this down (in somewhere) and so then
(ke) I wrote the book ”The Palm Tree.” |
یعنی دلم می‌خواست یک روزی در یک جایی
اینرو (این را) بنویسم که کتاب نخل رو (را) نوشتم. |
|
“Morad jumped (parid) down [and] ran toward
the palm trees which grew in a line, tall along the
brook, wrapped his arms around one palm (baghl gereft =
hugged) and from below looked [up] at its branches and
leaves. It was like an umbrella, very big. He
[climbed] up it a ways (some rungs, steps) and came down." |
"مراد پرید پایین، دوید طرف
نخل‌هایی که کنار جوی،
ردیف (= به ردیف) قد کشیده
بودند، نخلی را بغل گرفت و از پایین
شاخ و برگش را نگاه کرد. مثل چتر
بود، چتر خیلی بزرگ. چند پله ازش (از
آن) بالا و پایین آمد." |
|
And each of these, I know one day my mother…nothing
(=nevermind) … (She) was here. |
و هر کدوم از این درخت‌ها،
من می‌دونم یک روزی مادر
من.....هیچی....این جا بوده. |
|
How old was I when my mother died? |
من چند وقتم بود مادرم مرد؟ |
|
One year, one year old. |
یکسال، یکساله. |
|
Yes, it was the eve of the sixth day of the month. |
بله شما از شب شیشم ماه. |
|
From "the eve of the sixth", that means six days old? |
از «شب شیشم» یعنی شیش روزه؟ |
|
Yes. |
ها بله. |
|
He was a three-month-old baby when his mother died. |
بابا این تازه یک بچّه سه ماهه بود که مادرش مرد. |
|
Four-month-old. |
