Baghavad-Gita: Lavi enn kontradiksion; ler nou ne nou koumans mor.
NANYE PA EKZISTE SAN SO KONTRER.
Life is a contradiction; we start to die the moment we are born. Nothing exists without its opposite.

Anou konstrir bann pon;
Ranz miray pa bon!
Sen Paul ti sir:
Kiltir peyna serir;
Mesaz Lesenier
Napeyna frontier.
Bridges let’s polish;
Walls let’s demolish!
Saint Paul tells his flock:
Culture has no lock;
Elohim’s tidings
Have no strings.
Sen Pierre ti rod enpoz katna;
Sen Paul ti dir non.
Lamour ek Pardon
Pa met kadna.
Lafwa bizen liberte
Pou li devlope.
Saint Peter wanted it off;
St Paul said ‘come off it.’
Love and Mercy
Have to be free.
Faith to grow
Needs no sorrow.

Gandhi ti pe fer miray grene.
Dan sante sakre
Ki Endou sante,
Li ti met enn fraz
Fer fanatik gagn laraz:
raghupati rāghav rājārām,
patit pāvan sītārām
sītārām, jai sītārām,
bhaj tū pyāre sītārām
īśvar allāh tero nām,
sab ko sanmati de bhagavān
Sef Rwayom Raghu, O Bondie Rama,
Ki soulaz bann ki finn tom dan traka,
Sita ek Rama, Rama ek Sita,
Nou loue Rama, nou loue Sita,
To apel Bondie, to apel Allah,
Beni nou sazes, beni nou lafwa.
Smashing barriers was Gandhi’s hobby.
In a Hindu sacred ditty
He planted words all so pretty
Which drove true-blues crazy.
Chief of the house of Raghu, Lord Rama,
Uplifters of those who have fallen, Sita and Rama,
Sita and Rama, Sita and Rama,
O beloved, praise Sita and Rama,
Iswar or Allah is your name,
May God bless all with true wisdom.
Dan Lafrik Disid
Dan lir Levanzil
Li ti dekouver
Bhagavad-Gita;
Dan lir Levanzil,
Li ti gagn lizour
Lalit nonviolan.
In South Africa
Through the Gospels
He discovered
The Bhagavad-Gita;
Through the Gospels
He found
Non-violent actions.
Akoz li ti pe ranz bann pon,
Akoz li ti pe kraz miray,
Parey kouma Apot Zezi,
Kontrer lape servi fizi
Pou kraz bann pon,
Pou ranz miray.
He did bridge building
And wall smashing
As the Apostle taught.
But the opposite of Peace
Went on a bridge smashing
And wall building rampage.
