poetry in translation by Daniella

poem by Paulo Coelho

translation by Daniella

Nature is a manifestation of the Love of God.

Regardless of what we do, Nature continues to love us.

Let us, therefore, respect and understand what Nature teaches us.

We love because Love sets us free, and we say things that we once never even had the courage to whisper to ourselves.

We make a decision that we kept putting off.

We learn to say ‘No’ without thinking of that word as somehow cursed.

We learn to say ‘Yes’ without fearing the consequences.

We forget everything we were taught about Love, because each encounter is different and brings its own agonies and ecstasies.

We sing more loudly when the person we love is far away and whisper poems when he is near, even if he doesn’t listen and pays no attention to either our shouts or our whispers.

We don’t close our eyes to the Universe and then complain: ‘It’s dark.’

We keep our eyes wide open, knowing that the light could lead us to do undreamed-of things.

That is all part of love.

Our heart is open to love and we surrender to it without fear, because we have nothing more to lose.

Love is what makes you smile when you’re tired.

Ikidukikije n' icerekana urukundo rw' Imana

Ico dukora cose, kibandanya kidukunda

Reka rero dusonere twongere twumve ivyo ikidukikije kitwigisha

Dukunda kuko urukundo rutuma twīdegēmvya, hama tukavuga ibintu tutigeze turonka ubuhizi bwo kwiyongorera.

Turajanirana  ariko tugaca dukwepa ivyo tuba dutegezwa gukora.

Turiga kuvuga "oya" tutiyumviriye ko iryo jambo rishobora kuba ari ikivume. 

Turiga kuvuga "ego" tutarinze gutinya ibiza inyuma

Turibagira ibintu vyose batwigishije k' urukundo, kubera kw'ubuka bitandukanye bwinshi kandi bifise gusamba n' umunezero vyayo 

Turirimba hejuru ar'uko uwo dukunda ari kure yacu hama tukongorera imigani y'urukundo ar'uko ari iruhande, naho ataba ariko aratwumviriza canke asamara 

Nitwugara amaso kw'isi hama twidoge ngo:hari umwijimwa

Tuguma twuguruye amaso cane, tuzi ko gu-tamānzura bitujana k'ubintu tutigeze turota.

N'ibigize urukundo.

Umutima wacu wugurutse k' urukundo , tukarwemera atabgoba, kubera ataco dufise duhomba/dutakaza

 Urukundo nirwo rutuma utwenga urushe
