Les Protecteurs – Translation of Oodgeroo Noonuccal’s “The Protectors” by T. Wignesan

(Note: Oodgeroo never claimed to write poetry à la manière des poètes occidentaux; she said - without mincing words – her lines were sheer ‘propaganda’. Others thought otherwise:

There was a young woman named Rit-a
who married herself a big cheat-a
When all's said and done

Et ils ne pourront plus se cotoyer
ils crient de leur douleurs
sans pouvoir arreter leur pleurs

la vie lui envoie des ames qui quittent notre monde
pour lui montrer combien elle lui manque chaque seconde
la mort recoit ses cadeaux
et les range...

Wen I was jest a litl boy

As a teenager
I began to revolt

To the man I was rude
My writing was crude
I experimented
Adults were demented
I took a position
Refused to listen

I run from memories, stained in enough felony
After a failed choreography to budge up new colony
To annul life, yet live the same life pieces harmony
Quick succession of bolding and evanesce jeopardy 
In confusion.

Constantly nudged, freely flowing tears of sorrow
Daily singing a dirge, hoping to let...

FAILURES

Failing in your efforts to achieve your cherished dream
Are just the keys to the possible success supreme;
If your steps to reach the peak in the dark hard seem, 
Lift up your spirit, leap forward in its guiding beam;
Unless unswervingly you move to face trials extreme

DANS MES RÊVES



la malédiction vaincue
dans mes rêves
un arc-en-ciel nous protège
un champ d’été nous accueille
on court
on joue
on rit
on danse
et le soleil
bien qu’il descend
ne meurt
jamais
