(Enn Program Bazik Pou Profeser)

©DEV VIRAHSAWMY AND ICJM

(Pou Bann Profeser Prevokbek Pou Dir Zot Mo Apresiasion)

ENTRODIKSION
Ar lexperyans ki nou ena aster atraver PREVOKBEK nou kapav dir ki Kreol Morisien (KM), ki nou pou apel MORISIEN dan sa ese la, limem meyer mediom pou fer dimoun aprann  lir ek ekrir dan Repiblik Moris e anmemtan montre dimoun lir ek ekrir Angle atraver metod GRAMER-TRADIKSION.
Amizir dimoun aprann plis lor program Prevokbek zot vinn dimann nou si kapav itiliz li dan lezot domenn pou al dan direksion literesi iniversel. Dan prizon mazorite  prizonie pa konn lir ek ekrir. Akoz sa li bien difisil fer travay reabilitasion ek formasion profesionel. Li preske enposib donn formasion profesionel bann travayer ki  pe perdi plas parski mazorite, sirtou bann fam, pa konn lir ek ekrir. Program prevokasionel gouvernman dan lekol segonder, li enn gran fiasko. Sel solision se enn program kouma nou pe servi dan bann klas PREVOKBEK. Dan bann lekol ZEP bizen entrodir literesi dan lang maternel ek literesi an Angle atraver metod GRAMER-TRADIKSION, kouma nou fer avek boukou sikse dan bann klas PREVOKBEK. Kominote AfroKreol pe dimann ki rekonet zot lang (KM) kouma lang ansestral dan lekol primer. Sa li enn demann
lezitim e okenn demokrak pa kapav refiz zot sa drwa la. Bann AfroKreol zot reprezant 25% popilasion Repiblik Moris me zot lang maternel ek ansestral pa rekonet e pa ansegne dan lekol primer. Parkont pou bann Marati (2%), Telegou (3%), EroKreol (4%), Tamil (6%), Mizilman (16%) zot lang ansestral direk ou endirek e/ou maternel li rekonet ek ansegne. Eski li zis sa? Eski li demokratik sa? Tou sa bann devlopman la motiv nou pou prepar enn program pou form bann profeser pou ed zot reponn lapel. Koumsa zot pou kapav ed zanfan ek adilt pou gagn enn nivo literesi rezonab an Morisien ek Angle pou fer fas bann problem dan enn peryod ki pou vinn deplizanpli difisil akoz kriz serye dan sistem kapitalis ek global warming.

Sa ese la li divize an 5 parti. Dabor ena enn sapit lor grafi (bann sign/grafem), lor dekoupaz bann mo dan enn fraz ek lor ponktiasion. Answit ena enn sapit lor gramer ek striktir bann fraz. Trwaziem sapit li lor devlopman enn Basic Mauritian English e lenformasion bazik lor metod Gramer-Tradiksion. Katriyem sapit li lor tradiksion (depi Morisien ziska Angle; depi Angle ziska Morisien). Senkiem sapit li donn posibilite pou devlop enn gou pou literatir Morisien.

DEKOUPAZ MO DAN FRAZ
Kan nou finn konn bien bann son ek bann sign/grafem ki mars ar zot, lerla enn lot zoli travay koumanse. Kouma desinn frontier enn mo? Ki reg bizen swiv pou met lespas blan ant bann mo dan enn group mo ousa enn fraz?
Kifer mo ekrir ‘dimoun la‘ me pa ‘dimounla’? Mo lexperyans dir mwa ki ‘la’ li kapav enn silab, enn artik defini, enn adverb ousa enn mo ki form parti determinan demonstratif.
latab la (artik defini)
Met li la (adverb)
Sa bann latab la (sa … la form demonstratif)
Donk toumanier la li enn mo separe. Me dan ka latab kifer mo pa ekrir la tab? Mo kone kapav dir enn latab, de latab, trwa latab ets. Donk la li enn silab dan mo latab.
Mo osi konn enn mo tab (pou fer miltiplikasion). Sa konfirm mo intwision ki tab ek latab de mo diferan.
Amizir mo ekrir, mo pran bann desizion lor form ki bizen donn bann mo. Sak dimoun ki ekrir enn nouvo lang li amenn so blok, detay bann kontour ar sizo frwa e dousma-dousma skilptir la pran form. Lekritir li enn travay kreasion. Lepep konstrir lang parle, intelektiel konstrir lang ekri e kan ena enn relasion intim ant sa de group la, sivilizasion avanse.

Sapit 2
VERB, NOM, AZEKTIF PE KAS POZ LOR PIE LAFOURS

Enn profeser ki montre zanfan ou adilt lir ek ekrir Morisien, li bizen ena enn konesans bazik lor gramer sa lang la.
Enn fraz senp dan Morisien li posed 2 seksion: 1 seksion nom + 1 seksion verb. Dan fraz “Kwizinie kwi dalpouri” ena 1 seksion nom “Kwizinie” ek 1 seksion verb “kwi dalpouri”. Dan enn seksion nom kapav ena enn ou plizier mo: Sa bien-bien gran kwizinie la; seksion verb osi kapav vinn pli long: ti finn fini kwi dalpouri fondan.
Fraz la finn vinn: “Sa bien-bien gran kwizinie la ti finn fini kwi dalpouri fondan.”
Aster les nou get bann diferan klas mo ki gagn drwa pran enn plas dan enn seksion nom.
EKZANP
enn kwizinie (artik endefini + nom) [a cook]
kwizinie la (nom + artik defini) [the cook]
sa kwizinie la (demonstratif + nom) [this/that cook]
bann kwizinie (marker pliryel + nom) [cooks]
detrwa kwizinie (endikater kantite + nom) [a few cooks]
boukou kwizinie (endikater kantite + nom) [many cooks]
gran kwizinie (azektif + nom) [great cook]
bien gran kwizinie (adverb + azektif + nom) [very great cook]

Nou kapav fer mem ekzersis ar seksion verb.

EKZANP
pe kwi dalpouri (endikater aksion kontinie + verb tranzitif + obze direk) [is cooking …]
ti kwi dalpouri (endikater pase + verb tranzitif + obze direk) [cooked …]
ti pe kwi dalpouri (endikater pase + endikater aksion kontinie + verb tranzitif + obze direk) [was cooking …]
finn kwi dalpouri (endikater aksion konplete + verb tranzitif + obze direk) [has cooked …]
ti finn kwi dalpouri (endikater pase + endikater aksion konplete + verb tranzitif + obze direk) [had cooked …]
pou kwi dalpouri (endikater fitir + verb tranzitif + obze direk) [will cook …]
ti pou kwi dalpouri (endikater kondisionel + verb tranzitif + obze direk) [would cook …]
kwi dalpouri extra fondan ( verb tranzitif + obze direk + adverb + adzektif)

Enn fraz senp kapav vinn bien-bien long.

EKZANP
Yer swar enn larme mari gran kwizinie Morisien ti pe kwi dalpouri extra fondan ar boukou jos dan lakwizinn enn lotel delix lor lakot Rivier Nwar.
Dan fraz ki lao nou finn azout 1 adverbial letan (yer swar), 1 adverbial manier (ar boukou jos) ek 2 adverbial landrwa (dan lakwizinn enn lotel delix; lor laplaz
Rivier Nwar).

Finn ariv ler pou get bann klas mo enpe plis andetay.

Ena 2 kalite klas mo: klas dinamik ek klas statik. Klas dinamik li grandi amizir enn lang devlope e konkerir nouvo domenn. Klas statik li res plizoumwen parey e si ena sanzman li bien minim. Dan klas dinamik ena: nom, verb, azektif ek adverb. Dan klas statik ena determinan, oxilier verbal, pronom, prepozision ek konzonksion. Ena osi enn klas mo ki apel enterzeksion kouma ‘ayo’, ‘alala’. Sa bann mo la nou pa servi zot pou konstrir enn fraz me zot bien neseser dan kominikasion.

NOM
Ena tes pou kone si enn mo li enn nom ousa non. Anzeneral, si enn mo pran enn determinan li enn nom. Taler nou pou analiz determinan kouma enn klas mo me isi nou pou servi detrwa item dan sa klas la pou dekouver natir bann nom. Dan sa kat expresion ki swiv:

  • enn latab
  • latab la
  • sa latab la
  • bann latab
    ‘ enn ‘ li enn artik endefini; ‘la’ li enn artik defini; ‘ sa … la’ li enn demonstratif; ‘bann’ li enn marker pliryel.
    Bann mo ki aksepte sa bann determinan la zot normalman bann nom. Me ena nom ki pa aksepte tou determinan.
    ‘dilo la / sa dilo la’ aksetab me
    ‘*enn dilo / *bann dilo’ zot pa normalman/literalman akseptab. Kifer? Ena nom ki kontab ek lezot pa kontab.

NOM PROP, NOM KOMEN
Pou deside si enn nom li prop ousa komen, laplipar letan nou servi kriter sans. Eski nom la li endik enn idantite bien presi ki pa kapav ranplase par enn lot.

  • Normalman nou asosie nom prop ar enn dimoun: Zak, Devi, Tatat
  • enn pei: Moris, Rodrig, Madagaskar
  • enn lavil: Porlwi, Rozil, Katborn
  • enn vilaz: Goudlenns, Kanjab, Souyak
  • enn zour lasemenn: Lendi, Mardi, Merkredi
  • enn mwa dan lane: Zanvie, Fevriye, Mars
  • enn fet: Noel, Divali, Id

Dan bann ka spesial nom prop aksepte laplipar determinan:

  • Ena de Devi dan mo fami.
  • Bann Rodrig (bann abitan Rodrig)
  • Senk Dimans li finn telefone.
  • Sa Divali la mo ti travay.

DETERMINAN
Enn determinan se enn item gramatikal (enn mo dan klas statik) ki nou plase avan enn nom pou donn plis lenformasion lor li.

Ena plizier kategori determinan.

1.Artik endefini: enn
Amenn enn sez.
2.Artik defini: ……. la
Amenn sez la.
3.Demonstratif: sa ……. la
Amenn sa sez la.
4.Posesif: mo, to, so, nou, zot, bannla zot, ou
Amenn mo sez.
Amenn bannla zot sez.
5.Marker kantite: boukou, enpe , detrwa , dis etc
Amenn boukou sez.
Amenn detrwa sez.
6.Marker pliryel: bann
Amenn bann sez prop.

PRONOM
Pronom se enn klas mo ki ranplas nom dan serten fraz.
Fraz ar nom                                            Fraz ar pronom
Devi kontan zwe boul                   Li kontan zwe boul
Devi, Zak ek Tatat malad            Bannla (zot) malad

Anzeneral pronom ranplas nom ki liye ar dimoun. Akoz sa gramer tradisionel apel zot pronom personel. Nou pou gard term pronom personel mem si zot osi ranplas nom ki liye ar zanimo ek obze.
Pronom personel zot sengilie ousa pliryel.
Sengilie                       Pliryel

mo                                 nou

to / ou                          zot
li                                    bannla (zot)

N.B ‘ Ou ‘ montre respe ousa absans familiarite/entimite.

Kapav servi enn pronom personel kouma size ousa obze dan enn fraz.
Mo (size) finn donn twa ( obze) lamour.
Pronom size        Pronom obze
mo                             mwa
to / ou                      twa / ou
li/ li                             nou nou
zot zot                      bannla (zot) bannla

LEZOT PRONOM

  • Pronom reflexif: momem, tomem, limem, noumem, zotmem, bannlamem. Ekzanp: To pou bles tomem.
  • Pronom endefini: kikenn, kiksoz, personn, nanye.
  • Pronom anfatik: momem, tomem, limem, noumem, zotmem, bannlamem. Ekzanp: Momem mo ti dir twa sa.

AZEKTIF
Enn azektif li kalifie enn nom; li donn nou plis detay lor natir enn dimoun, obze, zanimo ets. Serten paret avan nom la, lezot paret apre nom.

  • Enn zoli tifi
  • Enn tifi entelizan

Kan pran enn azektif ki normalman paret avan enn nom e met li apre nom la, sinifikasion kapav sanze.

  • Enn long lame
  • Enn lame long (voler)
    Pou endik diferan degre kapav plas bien, mari, terib, extra, maha ets. avan azektif la.
  • sime la li bien long
  • sime la li bien-bien long
  • sime la li mari long

KONPARATIF, SIPERLATIF
Pou fer konparezon an Morisien nou servi pli + azektif .
Mo pli for ki twa.
Pou exprim siperlatif nou servi pli + azektif + ki tou .
Li pli for ki tou .

REPETISION
Repetision dan Morisien li ena enn fonksion semantik (li azout kiksoz dan sans enn mo).
Enn lokiter natif rekonet diferans ant bien long ek bien-bien long ; long pikan ek long-long pikan ; rouz ek rouz-rouz .
N.B Repetision verb ‘si sanz so sans.
‘mo pe marse’ ek ‘mo pe mars-marse’ dekrir de realite diferan.

KALIFIKATIF EK PREDIKATIF
Talerla nou ti dir ki enn azektif li kalifie enn nom. Me azektif li osi ena enn fonksion predikatif (fonksionn kouma enn verb).

  • Li ena seve blan.
  • So seve blan.
    Ki sa pou done an Angle ek an Franse?
  • He has white hair.
  • His hair is white.
  • Il a des cheveux blancs.
  • Ses cheveux sont blancs.

Angle servi kopil is/are ; Franse servi est/ sont . Me Morisien pa servi kopil. Dan sapit lor verb nou pou etidie sa aspe nou lang la dan plis detay.

AZEKTIF NOMINAL
Dan serten konstriksion enn nom kapav fonksionn kouma enn azektif: enn miray ros ; enn lakaz dibwa ets.
ros ek dibwa zot ant enn azektif ek enn nom. Zot pa enn foul azektif parski pa kapav modifie zot ar bien, extra, mari ets. Anplis pa kapav fer transformasion
konparatif ek siperlatif ar zot.
Pa kapav dir:

  • *enn miray bien ros
  • *enn lakaz mari dibwa
  • *enn miray pli ros ki tou
    N.B Bann klas mo zot pa ekziste dan bann box sele. Frontier ant bann klas mo zot ase flou. Nou’nn trouve kouma azektif ek verb parfwa rant dan teritwar zot vwazen; mem zafer pou azektif ek nom.

VERB
Nou get sa fraz la: ‘Lina dans sega.’
Pou enn lokiter natif Morisien li fasil pou idantifie natir ‘ dans ‘. Li pa parey kouma ‘ Lina ‘ ousa ‘ sega ‘. So fonksion diferan. Li endik enn aksion. Me sa pa ase parski ena lezot mo ki tom dan mem klas me ki pa endik aksion. Par ekzanp: paret .
Nou apel sa klas mo la verb.
Olie sey definir li par seki li fer, li pli korek get li atraver bann mo ki kapav akonpagn li. Enn verb li bizen kapav pran marker tan-pase ‘ ti ‘.

  1. Lina ti dans sega.
  2. Zak ti ekrir enn let.
  3. Devi ti dormi kot li.
  4. Tatat ti isi yer.
  5. Lina ti zoli.
  6. Zak ti enn akter.

Nou pran verb dan 1, 2 ek 3: dans, ekrir, dormi. Mem si zot tom dan mem klas mo zot pa net parey.
‘ dans ‘ ena 2 form: dans/danse. Kan li swiv par enn obze direk li perdi e final. Me si li swiv par enn adverb ou adverbial li gard e final.

  • Lina danse.
  • Lina dans sega.
  • Lina danse ziska tar.

‘ekrir’ ena enn sel form.

  • Zak ekrir.
  • Zak ekrir liv.
  • Zak ekrir aswar.
    Me ekrir ek danse zot toulede tom dan mem group verb (verb tranzitif) parski zot pran obze direk.
    Lot kote ‘ dormi ‘ pa aksepte obze direk. Li enn verb entranzitif.
    Aster nou get 4, 5, ek 6.
    ‘isi’, ‘zoli’ ek ‘enn akter’.
    ‘ isi ‘ li enn adverb landrwa.
    ‘ zoli ‘ li enn azektif.
    ‘ enn akter ‘ li enn expresion nominal (artik endefini + nom).
    Me dan sa bann fraz la zot ena enn fonksion predikatif (fonksionn kouma verb). Zot pran marker pase ti :’ ti isi ‘, ‘ ti zoli ‘, ‘ ti enn akter ‘. Zot osi pran marker
    fitir pou : ‘ pou isi ‘, ‘ pou zoli ‘, ‘ pou enn akter ‘; marker kondisionel ‘ ti pou ‘: ‘ ti pou isi ‘, ‘ ti pou zoli ‘, ‘ ti pou enn akter ‘. Me zot pa pran marker
    aspe ‘ pe ‘ ek ‘ finn ‘. Anplis zot pa aksepte transformasion pasif.
    Nou apel zot verb statif; ‘danse’, ‘ekrir’ ek ‘dormi’ zot bann verb dinamik.
    Ena osi verb ki nou kapav apel kopilatif.
    Li paret tris.
    Mo gagn fre.
    Manze la santi bon.
    Verb kopilatif pran marker tan ek aspe me li pa aksepte transformasion pasif.

TAN EK ASPE
Dan Morisien nou servi marker tan ek aspe.
‘ ti ‘ li marker pase; ‘ pou ‘ li marker fitir; ‘ pe ‘ li marker aspe progresif (aksion kontinie) ek ‘ finn ‘ li marker aspe perfektif (aksion konplete).

  TAN EK ASPE
prezan      Lina dans sega.
prezan progresif      Lina pe dans sega.
prezan perfektif      Lina finn dans sega.
pase      Lina ti dans sega.
pase progresif      Lina ti pe dans sega.
pase perfektif      Lina ti finn dans sega.
fitir      Lina pou dans sega.
fitir progresif      Lina pou pe dans sega.
fitir perfektif     Lina pou finn dans sega.
kondisionel     Lina ti pou dans sega si …

Dimoun ti toultan rod fer nou kwar ki Angle li enn lang difisil pou aprann. Fos. Si konn fer louvraz la, bann zanfan Morisien kapav aprann Angle lor vites. Kifer?
Angle li enn lang Kreol e so gramer bien resanble gramer Morisien. Deziemman nou kapav devlop enn vokabiler pou fer “Basic Mauritian English” evolie. Dabor les nou get ansam resanblans gramer Angle ek Morisien.
Nou pran premie fraz ki nou ti servi dan sapit 2: Kwizinie kwi dalpouri. Sa li enn fraz zeneral ek ekonomik ki donn enn lenformasion zeneral, san rant dan detay parey kouma Sovsouri manz fri ou Biznesmenn rod profi.
Nou sey tradir li an Angle pou gete ki arive.
Ena 2 fason dir li: ‘Cooks cook dalpouri’ e ‘A cook cooks dalpouri.’ Parey kouma fraz an Morisien, sa 2 fraz an Angle zot dir enn laverite zeneral ki akseptab pou
mazorite dimoun. Ler nou get so striktir nou note ki parey kouma fraz an Morisien li forme par 2 seksion: seksion nom + seksion verb. Si nou explik sa bann zonfan ek adilt, lor vites zot pou konpran ek aprann. Nou pe servi seki zot kone pou montre zot nouvote ki bizen aprann.

Aster les nou azout bann diferan mo ki form enn seksion nom e fer so tradiksion an Angle.

  • enn kwizinie →a cook
  • enn bon kwizinie→a good cook
  • bon kwizinie la →the good cook
  • sa bon kwizinie la →this/that good cook
  • sa bann bon kwizinie la→these/those good cooks
  • sa bann bien bon kwizinie la→ these/those very good cooks
  • sa bann ase bon kwizinie la →these/those quite good cooks

Ena enn similarite frapan dan striktir seksion nom dan sa 2 lang la.
Anou fer mem ekzersis ar seksion verb.
kwi dalpouri →cook/cooks dalpouri
ti kwi dalpouri→ cooked dalpouri
pe kwi dalpouri→ is/are cooking dalpouri
ti pe kwi dalpouri →was/were cooking dalpouri
finn kwi dalpouri →has/have cooked dalpouri
ti finn kwi dalpouri →had cooked dalpouri
pou kwi dalpouri →will cook dalpouri
ti pou kwi dalpouri →would cook dalpouri

Eski bizen explikasion siplemanter? Ousa li kler?

Aster anou pran sa long fraz ki nou ti konstrir dan sapit 2.
“Yer swar enn larme mari gran kwizinie Morisien ti pe kwi dalpouri extra fondan ar boukou jos dan lakwizinn enn lotel delix lor lakot Rivier Nwar.”

An Angle ki sa done?
“Last night a batallion of very great Mauritian cooks/chefs were cooking extra succulent dalpouris with great enthusiasm in the kitchen of a luxurious hotel on the Black River coast.”

Mem striktir bann long fraz ena boukou similarite. Bien sir, ler fer tradiksion, resanblans dan striktir pa ase. Bizen ki nou konn lizaz bann mo ek expresion.
Metod Gramer-Tradiksion li permet nou aprann Angle ar boukou fasilite me sa konesans la li pa ase si nou’le vinn enn bon tradikter. Sa metod la li bon pou montre zanfan ek adilt Basic Mauritian English me pou devlop literesi avanse an Angle bizen adapte ek adopte lezot metod. Me pa bliye osi ki Gramer-Tradiksion, ki res metod prensipal, li bizen konplemante par metod direk pou nou montre zanfan ek adilt kouma koz Angle parski ena diferans fonem ek aksan ant Morisien ek Angle.

Metod Gramer-Tradiksion li bon osi pou ansegn form aktif ek pasif; diskour direk ek endirek; fraz konpoze ek konplex; negasion, kestion; analiz bann kloz ets.

VOKABILER
Basic English ki ti devlope par Charles K. Ogden ena 850 mo. Eski sa li sifizan pou Basic Mauritian English? Kapav debrouye ar mwens? Eski bizen plis? Sa zis lexperyans ki kapav dir. Les nou sipoze ki enn adolesan 15-16 an, ki servi Morisien regilierman kouma so lang maternel, itiliz anviron 2,500-3,000 mo. Eski li posib konsider sa kouma Morisien Bazik? Eski kapav servi sa Morisien Bazik la kouma baz pou devlop enn Basic Mauritian English atraver tradiksion? Si wi, sa pou enn gran led pou ansegn Angle par metod Gramer-Tradiksion. Dan travay ki nou pe fer isi, nou finn adopte ipotez ki Morisien Bazik ek Basic Mauritian English zot konplemanter ek enterdepandan. Me nou konsian ki seki nou pe propoze li zis enn travay pionie e ki dan tou travay pionie oblize servi metod “Seye-Korize”. Nou kone ki letan pou dir kot nou finn fane, kot travay la pozitif. Kouma nou pa ena okenn presedan pou gid nou, nou oblize ekout nou entwision. Si neseser, pli tar va propoz bann azisteman ek ameliorasion. Nou kone osi ki dimoun diferan rezion ou kategori sosial dan Repiblik Moris pou bizen enn vokabiler enpe plis spesial, spesifik ou spesialize. Bann
dimoun ar bann lentere bien presi zot ‘si zot pou bizen bann mo bien spesifik. Si nou’le ansegn literesi an Morisien ek an Angle enn plonbie ousa enn planter legim, bann azisteman dan Morisien Bazik ek Basic Mauritian English pou neseser. Peyna reset; peyna solision paspartou. Enn bon profeser pou kapav fer retous ki neseser. Nou espere ki bann lengwis diferan spesializasion enn zour pou donn nou enpe lekleraz.
Ar led “Diksioner Morisien” (Arnaud Carpooran) nou finn selekte enn lalis mo ki dapre nou kapav apel Morisien Bazik e nou met zot tradiksion Angle ant braket.
Otankiposib nou evit sinonim ousa bann mo ki ena itilizasion limite. Par ekzanp azektif ‘kontrasetif’ li servi rarman. Nou gagn li dan expresion ‘pilil kontraseptif’ ousa ‘metod kontraseptif’. Dimoun normalman servi ‘pilil kontrol nesans’ ousa ‘metod familiplaning’.
Nou pa pe dir ki lezot apros pa ekziste. Nou zis estime ki ar tigit lexperyans ki nou ena dan sa domenn la, nou pe sey konstrir enn version Basic Mauritian English ki kapav ed profeser fer travay la marse. Nou lapros li eklektik ek pragmatik. Si prouve ki li pa bon, tou seki nou kapav dir se “sori matlo”.

N.B Profeser bizen fer atansion. Bann mo dan nenport ki lang zot souvan polisemik (savedir zot ena plizier sinifikasion). Nou pran verb ‘santi’. Li ena de lizaz e desans: tranzitif ek entranzitif.

Ekzanp: “Mo santi parfen enn roz.” (verb tranzitif ki pran enn obze direk). An Angle nou pou dir: “I smell the perfume of a rose.”
Aster nou get “Mo santi akoz mo pa ankor bengne.” “Santi” li enn verb entranzitif (li pa pran obze direk). Li kapav pran enn adverb kouma ‘pi’ kouma dan expresion ‘santi pi’.
Mem zafer pou verb ‘rande/rann’. Dapre Diksioner Morisien li ena 6 sans ki an Angle vedir: to pay back, to return, to give, to vomit, to complete.
Bizen pran bien swen ar sa, ler nou montre tradiksion ki pa enn ekzersis mekanik me ki dimann ki nou konn bann diferans delika dan itilizasion bann mo Morisien ek Angle.

2. ASTER ANOU GET ENN SONET P.B. SHELLEY.

OZYMANDIAS
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
`My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!’
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

OZIMANNJAS
Mo ti zwenn enn lom sort pei lontan
Ki ti dir : De lipie imans anpier
Dibout tousel dan dezer … Pa tro lwen
Dan disab, enn fas kas-kase fezer,
So lalev traver ar pouvwar foutan
Montre artis la ti bien kapte tou
Bann foli, grav zot lor materyo mor
Ki ankor la, mem li li finn kit nou.
Lor so sokl kapav lir mesaz grave:
“Mwa Ozimannjas, mo pli for ki for;
Get mo pwisans, twa ki Gran, e tranble.”
Apart sa peyna nanye. Otour debri

Disab touni tal partou so mepri.

Lasours la li ankor lwen
Bien-bien fre, bien-bien kler
Lasours kot nou tou pou al bwar

Kot bann frer finn depoz zarm
Sime la li pas kot simitier
Mo lavi kouma lapousier
Pou fini dan simitier
Mo lespwar zame li pa pou tengn
Pou sak flanbo ki pou tengn
Ena mil pou alime
Ziska ki sime tous lasours
Marenwar pe rod nway mwa
Marekaz pe rod bwar mwa
Ena kamrad ferm koste ar mwa
Me dime komie pou ena
Ler soley manz marenwar
Komie ki pa ankor vinn fler
Seki yer swar ti ar mwa
Zordi nek enn souvenir
Souvenir ki lour dan mo leker

Nou bizin met sime kler
Nou bizin konstrir bann pon
Pous par pous, pa par pa ziska lasours
Mem si nou nou pa gagn sans
Nou zanfan va profite
Lapousier pou vinn lalimier
Lasours la li ankor lwen
Bien-bien fre, bien-bien kler
Lasours kot nou tou pou al bwar

THE FOUNTAIN

This hard road is mighty long
This long road is mighty hard
How many are they who trod it’s dust
Fiery darts are in the sky
Choking dust is in my mouth
And my throat narrows down to gasp
The fresh fountain’s miles ahead
All so clear, all so cool
That’s where we’ll all drink our joy

Graveyard’s full of pretty flowers
Where pals lay down their arms
The road goes by the burial ground
My life’s just a speck of dust
Which seeks sleep in a graveyard
But hope will not blow out its light
For each light which does go out
Thousands will kindle new hope
Showing the way to the fountain

Darkness tries to gobble me
The swamp tries to swallow me
Some pals and I are huddling through
But tomorrow who’ll be there
When the sun sucks in the swamp
Who’s not buried in petals
Some are gone who once were here
Now only a memory
Memory heavy on my heart

We must all clear out a path
We must all build out bridges
Step by step towards the fresh fountain
Even if we don’t get there
Our children surely will
For dust will turn into light
The fresh fountain’s miles ahead
All so clear, all so cool
That’s where we’ll all drink our joy

Ki bann obzervasion ki nou kapav fer? Si ou konn ler ‘Lasours’ sey sant li an Angle.

4. ASTER SEY TRADIR SA TI PASAZ LA AN MORISIEN.

The term diabetes, without qualification, usually refers to diabetes mellitus, which is associated with excessive sweet urine but there are several rarer conditions also named diabetes. The most common of these is diabetes insipidus in which the urine is not sweet (insipidus meaning “without taste” in Latin); it can be caused by either kidney or pituitary gland damage. It is a noninfectious disease. Among the body systems affected are the nerve, digestive, circulatory, endocrine and urinary systems.
The World Health Organization projects that the number of diabetics will exceed 350 million by 2030. Governments and other healthcare providers around the world are investing in health education, diagnosis and treatments for this chronic, debilitating – but controllable – disorder.

5. ESKI OU GAGN KOURAZ SEY TRADIR ENN TI POEM ANGLE AN MORISIEN? PA PER! MANZ AR LI!

COME, MY CELIA

Come, my Celia, let us prove,
While we can, the sports of love;
Time will not be ours forever;
He at length our good will sever.
Spend not then his gifts in vain.
Suns that set may rise again;
But if once we lose this light,
‘Tis with us perpetual night.
Why should we defer our joys?
Fame and rumor are but toys.
Cannot we delude the eyes
Of a few poor household spies,
Or his easier ears beguile,
So removed by our wile?
‘Tis no sin love’s fruit to steal;
But the sweet thefts to reveal,
To be taken, to be seen,
These have crimes accounted been.

Ben Jonson

1. MIRAK DIVALI

Bann zetwal lor later pe transpers tou bann vwal.
Gran freser marenwar pe fonn ar nou saler,
Lalimier dan leker pe ekler bann lapas,
Tras sime vwayazer, efas tas dan lespas.

Bann sante tou kouler pe chombo liniver,
Bann mitay kolorye ar parfen laroze
Kouma harr dan leker pe sikre santiman,
Fer disan bann imen bliye gran, bliye ran.

Lamizik Divali ar parfen kolorye
Pe aroz bann petal lor sime so zanfan.
Bann miray pe grene! Tou bann far alime!
A Bondie! Fer mirak Divali kontinie!

Me nou ranz bann miray otour nou kont ser-frer,
Pas letan louk vwazen atraver trou miray.
Bann miray pe grene! Anou partaz mitay!

2. O DEK

O dek! Enn serendikap ek enn kardinal

Ansam pe fouy later pou rod lever.

Tap to ravann ravannye!
Les lapo kabri gazouye!

O dek! Enn bengali pe sante lor enn fler,
Ki leze kouma enn papyon dore.
O dek! Fler kann velour pe danse dan lezer,
Li pe valse ar lamizik lesiel.
O dek! Zwazo kolorye gazouy-gazouye
Pe patine lor ledo larkansiel.

Bat to tanbour tanbourye!

Les lapo kabri gazouye!

O dek! Niaz pe anvlop montagn ar so kares,
So lonbraz pe rafresi tou bann fler.
O dek! Enn boul dife lor pe al bwar dilo,
So kouler pe pentir nou liniver.
O dek! Lalinn kouler larzan pe zwe yoyo
Ar bann zetwal diaman lao-lao.

Bat to tanbour tanbourye!
Tap to ravann ravannye!
Les lapo kabri gazouye!

3. POEM POU FET MAMA

Kouma to bien! Kouma to bien!
Dan so lebra kouma to bien!
Kan to gagn fen, kan to gagn fen
Se so lekor ki nouri twa.

Kouma to ge! Kouma to ge!
To ti lemonn bien proteze.
De lizie fier ki trakase
Pe vey twa fer to premie pa.

To rapel kan Claudette vini
Ar so divan ek so lapli
To ti lekor ti pe tranble,
To ti leker ti pe sote.
Kisannla dan so de lebra
Ti anvlop twa pou konsol twa?
Kisanla sa? Kisanla sa?

Enn fwa, aswar, to rapel bien,
Lafiev-kosmar kouma koltar
Ti pe bril twa ar marenwar
Dan tourbiyon enn lasesres.
To lekzistans ti menase.
Akote twa lor bor lili,
Lasours lavi ti pe veye.

Nou tou ti ge! Nou tou ti ge!
Lorkes ti pe fer nou danse,
Nou lespri ti pe voltize,
Nouvo lavi ki koumanse.
Laba dan kwen pre kot gato,
Leker sere deryer sourir,
Vit-vit li ti efas enn larm
Pou ki personn napa trouve.

Li for, li feb, li zenn, li vie,
Li krent, li smart, li kabose
Li ankor pe vey to sime.
Dan so lizie fier-trakase,
Nanye napa kapav sanz sa,
To res ankor so ti baba
Ki li’nn nouri ar so lekor.

Anou sante! Anou sante!
Zordi so fet, anou sante.
Me selma fale pa bliye
Enn ti panse pou malere.

4. BALAD TI-RAJOU

Enn papyon zonn lor enn fey ver

Ayo so lespri lor tablo!

– Kot to pe ale mo bayo?
Kifer to prese do matlo?
– Mo pe al lekol pou aprann abesede,
Mo pe al lekol pou mo vinn enn gran misie.

Pa tro lwen enn seren safran
Pe soufle so refren frengan.
Ti-Rajou ferm vit so zorey.
Ayo so lespri pa parey!

– Kot to pe ale mo bayo?
Kifer to prese do matlo?
– Mo pe al lekol pou aprann anglefranse,
Mo pe al lekol pou mo vinn enn gran misie.

Boukie banane rouz anfler,
So fler pe parfim liniver.
Ti-Rajou bes vit so lizie.
Ayo so lespri finn vinn vie!

– Kot to pe ale mo bayo?
Kifer to prese do matlo?
– Lefrayt-lefrayt mo bizen konn mo tab par ker,
Defwadekat, sinon mo pou pey sa bien ser.

5. ZISTWAR ENN FLER

Nek plonz to nam dan fon lamer
Si to’le konn zistwar enn fler
Ki finn ouver so bann petal
Dan enn gran tourbiyon rafal.
Si to’le konn zistwar mo fler
Tranp to lespri dan lamer kler.

Lontan-lontan enn gramaten
Dan koumansman so gran desten
Douler-douser dan vant later
Ti donn nesans enn bout later.
Dan bout later enn zwazo bren
Ti vinn depoz enn ti lagren.

Lerla bann flev lor nou later
Plonz zot lespri dan fon lamer
Pou tras ansam sime Listwar
Pou ranz lespwar ar dezespwar.
Dan profonder desten amer
Tou larivier zot rev mem fler.

Dilo Lasenn, Lalwar, Nizer
– Dan profonder desten amer –
Dilo Ganga ek Zambezi
Ponnaïyarr, Godavarri,
Flev Yangtze Kiang, tou larivier
Ar zot lespwar aroz mem fler.

Tou bann dilo finn melanze,
Li bet aster sey separe!
Nou bout later finn donn enn fler,
Nou selebre so lalimier.
Olie tir lay ar lepase
Nou dir ansam ” Mersi Bondie “.

6. ENN PESER-LABOURER

Enn peser-labourer dan vilaz Samarel,
Dan gri-gri gramaten kan bann fe dan lesiel
Finn kasiet zot palet, ramas kot son lafnet
Enn zwazo plim mouye ki pe mor lamor bet.

Vit-vit li souy li sek, anvlop li ar lenz so,
Ar kouyer fer li bwar detrwa gorze dilo
Pou sov lavi zwazo lesiel-later-lamer
Ki finn grandi lao lor montagn set kouler.

Ler tanto arive ar labrim ti lapli
Zwazo mengi-mengi pa tann lapo kabri;
Dan enn kwen so pagne li pe fixe dan vid,
Respire pa fasil kan lavi finn lasid.

Nou peser-labourer pas lanwit pou vey li,
Konsol li, soulaz li, redonn li gou lavi.
Ler gramaten vini so lizie ferm tousel,
Dan enn rev fantastik li pe bat so lezel.

Dan lesiel Samarel; dan lebra so zwazo
Lor enn vag Nirrvana zot pe bengn dan dilo
Kolorye ar penso bann zepis parfime…
Ler so somey kase zwazo finn anvole.

Dan so plas enn prenses lor enn tronn kler-de-linn,
Bote lebenn dan enn sari laswa-de-sinn
Pe sant lamour. Enn gran roulman lapo kabri
Anvlop so nam ar sawal nouvo melodi.

Bann zwazo Samarel dan lesiel set kouler
Finn aprann so sante; bann pwason dan lamer,
Tou bann pie lor montagn anker pe sant ansam.
Nouvo poem kram-kram aster pe donn lagam.

7. ENN OD POU NOU SEGA

Bann lipie elegan anmouvman ar later
Pe fouy kontak ritme dan enn kadans primer;
Bann vibrasion sonor dan lanbians san zefor
Pe balans bann laans, asoupli bann lekor;
Lapo bouk mor redi triyang nouvo nesans,
Dan enn jalsa lagam ladans ploy so lamans.
Mo vini!

Mo vini! Fraz mazik antik ki dres latet
Depi dan vant later avan let alfabet;
Depi dan profonder pli profon ki Lafrik
Fraz kominion primer napa konn lot lozik
Apart amenn ansam tou dimounn dan zwisans
Pou soud bann lien entim, garanti lesperans.
Ti-la-e!

Ti-la-e? Dan pagne? Dan kazot? Akot zot,
Mazisien kreater, Apsara, Pigmalion
Ki ti bizen poli diaman brit lor lakot,
Kas lasenn sediksion lasirenn ilizion?
Get sa zoli ti fam ki roule do baba!
Pran li dan to lebra! Samem Larenn Sega!
Mo vini!

8. MO PEI

Mo pei li pa zis enn tapi karo kann,
Zis kristal fangouren ek parfen tamaren;
Li pa zis enn choula pou sof roulman ravann,
Zis kadans souriyan bann trannsenk kas leren;

Mo pei li pa zis kokotie ekzotik,
Zis soley lor laplaz ek douser badinaz;
Li pa zis soulezon dan nisa rom tropik,
Paradi pou touris ek foulous-alanaz.

Mo pei li tousa, me li plis ki tousa.
Li finn gout lavantir dous-amer ras imen,
Konstrikter-destrikter, bouldozer-mazisien.
Li enn gran larkansiel kot zepis tou kouler
Gard freser gramaten dan bourzon nouvo fler.
Mo pei li tousa, me li plis ki tousa.

9. MO PIE MANG

Mo ti ena enn pie mang dan lakour
Ti donn mwa so lonbraz toulezour
Ti ranpli mo labous ar douser
Ti tranp-tranp mo lizie dan kouler
Mo pie mang ti toultan zenere
Ti protez mo gazon kont soley
Ti nouri orkide lor so fre
Pa ti konn fer santaz ni ravaz.

Me pov mwa, bachara! Ki mo fer?
Mo priye pie lafours kot lotel gouvernman
Li pli gran, li pli ot
Li li omniprezan
So lao, so anba melanze
Kot li tal so kadav
Kot li poz so deryer
Kot li bouz so bann pion
Nanye nepli pouse
Li pli gran, li pli for
Akoz sa mo priye pie lafours
Kot lotel gouvernman

Pie lafours finn tom plat
Ti koutvan ti ase
Pou fer li manz later

Mo pie mang ankor la
So lonbraz, so douser, so bonker
Kan mo ferm mo lizie
Mo sir li pou donn mwa
Detrwa ti bout dibwa
Pou fer mo samadi

10. TATA IRANAH

Anba pie tamaren kan peyna pou’al lekol
Mo Tata Iranah, enn ti-frer mo granper,
Atir tou bann zanfan – bann marmay fer laronn
Kouma grap mous dimiel otour fler roz vieyfi
Pou nouri rev sekre kot ti-bout manz gro-bout –
Pou fer nou viv ansam atraver lang Kreol
Zistwar bolom loulou, Tizan gran debrouyar,
Zistwar gato kanet, yev dan basen lerwa.
Mo Tata Iranah depi bien-bien lontan
Finn kit nou, finn ale. Enn gran lakaz beton
Dan plas pie tamaren pe sey efas memwar
Ti-garson Foukalend ki ti aprann reve,
Ki ti aprann koze, ki ti aprann panse
Anba pie tamaren. Peyna pli bon lekol.

11. GOUNA

Lavwa Gouna, mo mama,
Ankor sant dan mo disan
Kiltir Quartier Militaire
Kan Ti-frer alim dife
Pou sof sawal ravane,
Pou triyang so prop kadans,
Amenn kiltir popiler
Dan sato Samazeste.
Lavwa Gouna, mo mama,
Dan lapousier Foukalend
Kontinie fer mwa rapel
Lagam enn sante fezer
Ki ti ne dan lamizer
Pou pran plas dan diksioner.

12. FIT TO KREYON

Fit to kreyon, aprann to tab,
Pa les masinn siz dan to plas.
Servi masinn pou dekouver
Limansite nou liniver;
Fer to serfing, pa per piti,
Me pa bliye ki to ete.

Naz dan lespas sibernetik,
Servi rezo, explor bann sayt,
Ramas otan lenformasion,
Fale pa rans bwar konesans.
Me atansion! Pa perdi gou
Ekout zwazo sant so sante.

Fit to kreyon, aprann to tab,
Pa les masinn siz dan to plas.

DETRWA TIZISTWAR

1. SO BOY

Sa gramaten la lesiel ti kler mem si lwen laba dan lorizon enpe niaz gri ti pe sey bar soley. Lor enn ros dan bor larivier enn ti-garson, asize lor so talon, ti pe
vers divan pou get lavi kadanse par touf dan dilo kler.
Depi so lafnet ton China ti pe fixe li.
– “Li finn revini. Parey kouma yer.”

Li tourn ver so fam, Tantinn Janegi, ki ti enn madam maladi-maladi. Detrwa mwa apre zot maryaz li ti fer enn fos-kous. Depi sa zour la zame li ti finn re-ansent. Sagren kikfwa, lezot problem osi ti finn koumans minn so lasante. Depi so lili li ti pe get so bonom dibout kot lafnet. Kifer li ti exite koumsa? Gran Misie Grannkaz so boy ti abitie ale-vini me depi yer China ti koumans get zanfan la koumadir mirak.

Vremem ti ena enn zafer espesial ar sa piti la. Tou dimoun ti konn so mama, enn zoli fam dorizinn Afrikenn, elegant kouma enn estati me so papa ti enn mister ki ti donn garson la enn ten kler ek lizie gri. Ena ti pe dir ki Gran Misie Grannkaz ti ankor amoure ar so mama. Li ti pran ti garson la kouma so boy pou kapav zet enn koudey lor li san lev choula palab. Me kot kapav anpes palabrer fer palab!

Tou dimoun ti trouv drol vites ki Jesi ti pe aprann, mem bann zafer difisil. Enn zanfan mirak.

– ” Kifer to pa dir li vinn bwar enpe dite”, Janegi dir China.

Pa ti bizen dir sa de fwa. Ton China ti deza deor. Direksion bor dilo. Tantinn Janegi leve, al dan lakouzinn pou prepar dite ek dipen so bonom. San enn gro goble dite Ton Tina so moter refiz demare.
– ” Zordi Vandredi. Bizen netway lakaz, met sanbrani, kwi kari legim. Enpe jawa pou fer China plezir. Met bien rezen, bien disik, enpe koko. Ena enn bout.”
Ton China ek Tantinn Janegi ti fer zot ti revolision dan zot zenes. Enn zenn Korengi ti desid fer enn maryaz damour ar enn tifi Madras. Sa lepok la, mem sa ti kapav provok tansion ek konfli. Ton China toultan ti rapel reaksion so paran. Zot ti mem menas pou dezerit li… Dir ki apre zot pa ti kapav viv san Janegi ki ti vinn pli zoli fler dan zot zarden, parrsadi zot lekzistans …

Ton China paret lor laport lakouzinn, tousel. So figir drol, koumadir li ti finn trouv enn zafer pa normal.
– “Kot li?” Tantinn Janegi dimann li… “Ki ariv twa? To finn vinn gounga?”
– “To ti trouv li non … Par lafnet”
– “Non, me to ti dir mwa ki li ti finn revini”.
– “Mo dir twa, mo ti trouv li, wi, trouv li ar mo de lizie.”
– “Ki finn arive?”
– “Ler mo ariv laba, mo pa trouv personn”.
– “Ant to sorti ek to ariv laba, li ti finn fini ale”.
– “Enposib!”
– “Bon vinn bwar to dite… To’le enpe kari yer pou manz to dipen?”

Ton China re-al get deor. So leker koumans bat for-for. Li frot so lizie, tansion enn lapousier ti pe kouyonn so gete. Pa ena okenn dout. Garson la laba dan bor dilo. Misie Grannkaz so boy pe touzour asize lor so talon, pe touzour get dan dilo. Ton China galoup kouma fles pou pa donn Jesi letan al kasiet. Li fons drwat ver larivier, pas deryer enn touf brousay. Ler li ariv divan ros kot garson la ti ete li regagn so sok. Pa ti ena personn. Pa ti ena okenn tras prezans imen. Li avans lor ros la, asiz lor so talon kouma Gran Misie Grannkaz so boy ti verse pou get dan dilo. Ton China trouv so prop figir dan dilo kler kan enn kout sek dilo la brouye koumadir kikenn ti finn zet enn ti ros. Bann serk konsantrik grandi ziska zot fonn. Ton China kontinie gete. Ler dilo la revinn kler, kan tou bann ti-vag ti finn fonn, dan plas so figir ti ena enn ti-pwason rouz ar lekay lor ki ti pe balans so nazwar ar elegans enn dansez bale. Ton China sey may li me kouma so ledwa tous dilo, enn touf milion vinn bwet-bwet so lame. Ti-pwason rouz ti touzour la me kouma dan enn bwat fer ar laglas li ti pre ek lwen anmemtan.

Ler li ariv so lakaz, ton China larg so lekor lor enn sez; li fixe dan vid.

Tantinn Janegi donn li so goble dite, enn bol kari ek de trans dipen moul. Li kontinie get dan vid.
– “E China, ki pe ariv twa? To finn trouv enn mirak?”
Ton China pa reponn. Li zis get figir so madam, fer enn sourir. Samem sourir ki, Janegi kone, ti dir li ki lespri so bonom bien-bien lwen.

Sa Vandredi gramaten la Tantinn Janegi, kouma tou Vandredi ti pe fer gran netwayaz; Ton China, leker ge ek leze, ti pran so bisiklet pou al okip zarden Gran Misie Grannkaz; dan bor dilo enn ti-garson ti pe get enn pwason rouz ar lekay lor balans so nazwar ar elegans enn dansez bale; niaz gri dan lorizon ti al fonn dan lamer.

2. TANBAV

Mo vre non se Oktav; zot apel mwa Tanbav. Zot dir mo nesans ti extra. Mo mamam ki ti ena katorz-an lerla; pa ti kone kisannla mo papa. Mo sipoze ki mo latet oval, mo gro zorey ki sorti kouma zorey lelefan, mo figir mouste are bourbri permanan, mo lipie gos ki pli kourt ki mo lipie drwat, bos lor mo ledo tousa fer mwa, depi mo nesans, enn dimoun extra. Mo karakter osi extra. Kan mo sap lor kal mo kraz tou. Bizen dir mo’nn grandi dan enn landrwa extra. Labou enn sezon lapli souvan zwenn enn lot. Sekife, labou ek so eksetera finn nouri mo limazinasion depi koumansman mo memwar ziska … anfen vomie pa panse.

Pli gran lekol pou devlopman enn zanfan se lavi. Lavi kouma mo finn konn li pa finn kil parad. Depi bien zenn, lavi finn montre mwa bann trik pou sap dan dif; finn montre mwa pran san dimande kan mo fen, pa koz vre toultan tansion mo fer dimoun ditor; lari, ti mo laplenn foutborl, bor lari ti mo libreri, kwen lari ti mo kaybo; lari ti mo legliz, konfesional, klas e parfwa mo lili. Wey, pa koze. Mo lavi ti extra. Mo zenes ti extra. Sak fwa bann viziter ti vinn rann vizit mo mama, kouma enn bon zanfan ki pa ti kontan deranz gran dimoun dan zot tranzaksion, mo ti konn deklase. Komie fwa mo ti pas lanwit deor pou kont zetwal dan lesiel. Ti ena boukou. Konte fini… Seswar osi ena boukou zetwal dan lesiel e lalinn pe zwe lamarel ar zot.

– “E la! Pa’nn dir zot, ler dormi bizen dormi?”
– “Pa gagn somey sef! Eskize.”
– “Apre sa, dime pa deklar sik.”

Fouf! Ala zot plen mwa. Si mo ti deor, letan li pa ti pou gagne pou ouver so gran lagel. Isi: wi sef, non sef, eskize sef, pardon sef.

Ki finn ariv mo mama? Enn swar li ti ale, dan enn taxi, e zame li ti retourne. Lapolis ti vini. Zot ti fouy partou, poz mwa kestion me mo mama zame pa ti retourne. Bien boner, tousel mo ti bizen aprann trase.

Trase? Toutsort kalite trase mo’nn trase. Trase kan mo vant grogne, trase pou ris enn dam, trase pou kas enn yenn. Trase. Sak fwa eleksion vini, dir ou mo dan goun. Gro pitay pou kol lafis, gro pitay pou fer dibri dan miting advers, gro pitay pou trape-bate, gro pitay pou fer mor vote. Samem peryod lakoup. Tanka mwa ti bizen ena eleksion toulezour. Lerla kifwa mo pa ti pou la.

Bann larme, sakenn tir so kote kan ena taksion. Zame mo ti pou kwar ki kamwad ar ki ou viv kouma simiz-kalson kapav vande pou gagn so bout. Ki nou pe devini? Labou finn touf nou lespri? Kan mo sort isi li pou kone ar mwa. Bezsominn la!

Pourtan nou ti fer tranzaksion la ansam. Ti tom dakor lor tou. Ti enn louvraz extra. Akoz enn ti malen ki ti rod fer so gran-nwar, nou tou al tase. Ki li ti bizen al aste pake-pake lartik delix, roul dan taxi, soule… E ler li soule, li zaze. Bann mous ti al ponn dan zorey ki bizen. Kouma koutvan lapolis ti fer enn lennding kot li. Li ti krake… Bate ti fer li koze. Li ti vomi tou. Ala rezilta. Krawn witnes. Li tir so kanet dan zwe. Malsans pou mwa. Ena ki finn fer pir ki sa, finn sape. Depi
mo nesans, toultan soy swiv mwa partou. Sirman akoz sa bann lagratel lor mo figir. Samem zot apel mwa Tanbav.

Sa swar la pa ti dan plan fer disan koule. Ti pou fer enn travay sasi; vit-vit ti pou balye karo, netway prop ek defalke. Dabitid salerla zame pa ti ena personn dan
lakaz la. Sa vie bonnfam la ti koumans kriye. Ki mo ti kapav fer apart pike. Sa lepok la personn pa ti dir li pa korek. Zot ti pe mem dir ki mo ti finn dres papie la
korek-korek. Me ler troubouyon fer nou letour, vit-vit “pa mwa sa bourzwa, li sa, li tousel sa”. Salte la! Fer mo disan bwi… Extra sa!

Mo finn retase. Pa pe gagn somey. Ankor enn lanwit blans? Dime latet pou fermal, pou gagn vertiz. Bann gard pou kwar pe fer zes. Zoure, maltrete, bate. Pa ti bate. Bate bef.

Si mo mama ti konn mo papa; si li pa ti bez so sime ale, zordi kikfwa mo pa ti pou dan sa kalite treboul. Si mo ti al lekol olie grandi dan labou, kikfwa mo pa ti pou la. Si… Ferfout! Trou boukou si. Si lamer ti bwi tou pwason ti’a kwi.

Extra sa lavi la. Ale-vini mem zafer. Vire-tourne mem laryaz. Sort dan labou, bez dan labou. Sort dan gonaz, tom dan gonaz. Extra, extra, extra. Mo mama, pa kone kot li. Mo papa, pa kone ki li. Mo lagel plen ar bourbri, mo latet oval, mo zorey kouma zorey lelefan, mo enn lipie pli piti ki lot. Mo bosi, mo kas-pat, mo vilen, mo vilen. Pourtan nou tou zanfan Bondie, zot dir. Bondie get ar de lizie? Mo finn ne Tanbav, mo pou mor Tanbav. Pou bann zanfan labou peyna Bondie. Lever pli dan bien ki nou.

3. PALTO DIDEOR

Adam Noah pe rilax anba pie tamaren. Li kone ki taler bann zanfan pou revinn antour li pou ekout so bann zistwar. Pandan vakans Desam kan saler donn bal, bann zanfan so prop zanfan ek zanfan so bann vwazen vinn anba so pie tamaren ki finn pous lor enn montikil gro-gro ros e so rasinn aster pe tini tou bann ros ansam. La, dan lespri zanfan, bann ros la pran nouvo lavi. Sa ros la kouma enn bato, sannla kouma enn loto; get sa lotla la, vadire enn avion. Bann zanfan la zwe, envante, konpoze. Tanzantan zot antour Adam Noah pou ekout so bann ti zistwar, parfwa tris, parfwa komik me toultan enteresan.

“Drol!” Adam Noah panse, “Ki pe arive zordi. Kot bann zanfan?” Enn laklos bisiklet kas so reflexion. Fakter kot li? Sa enn zafer rar sa!

– Bonzour Patron. Ena enn parsel pou ou.
– Parsel? Kot sorti?
– Sorti deor.
– Amene mo gete. Maten va! Vremem.
– Sign la mo bourzwa.

Adam Noah, lame tranble-tranble grifonn detrwa sign, rann fakter la so plim ek resi la. Fakter pran so bisiklet, poz so lipie gos lor pedal, pran enn ti lelan, pas so
lipie drwat par deryer lasel e vit li disparet dan kontour.

Adam Noah get so parsel, tourn li agos, adrwat; vir li anbalao; sakouy li dousman. Li sey devine ki ena dan parsel la. Li pa pe kapav rapel kan dernie fwa li ti resevwar enn parsel par lapos. Bien-bien lontan. Li ti zenn, bien zenn sa lepok la e li ti pe gagn kado ar so bann pies. Me depi so maryaz, robine kado finn ferme. Li ouver so parsel dousma-dousma koumadir li per ki zafer ladan la kapav eklat lor so figir, ousa anvole.

Latwal briye-briye kouma tafta. Ki ete sa? Li larg latwal la e enn palto paret divan li. Enn palto ki so kouler sanz-sanze. Kisannla finn avoy li sa? Li met palto la e koumadir enn labriz mazik finn soufle lor li. Li nepli gagn so ditou. Enn palto klimatizer! Mari sa bann palto dideor la. Kot palto lokal kapav koste! Palto dideor fer li bliye bann zanfan, bann zistwar anba pie tamaren. Pandan enn ti segonn. Me enn segonn bien long.

Me ler li sey tir palto la, peyna sime. Bouton finn fixe ar boutonier. Adam Noah koumans panik. Transpirasion koumans koule. Palto la koumans sere lor so lekor vadire enn lapo artifisiel finn anvlop so lekor, anpes so lapo natirel respire.

So tayer seye me pa reysi defer li; li al get enn mekanisien, enn elektrisien, enn longanis. Abba! Touzour nanye. Palto la kol lor li kouma vantouz. Depi sa zour li
finn aret konn konfor. Koumadir par mesanste, an-ete li kol lor so lapo e sof li kouma dife lanfer. An-iver li grosi e vinn enn koulwar kourander glase, lanfer brouyar e lanez.

Koumsamem, enn gramaten liver, malere tranble-tranble li pe trenn so lipie lor bor sime kot pie tamaren. Divan li enn group zanfan pe zwe me ler li pase zot aret zwe, get li ar lizie mefians.

– Wey get li do, ar so palto dideor.

Bann zanfan la pa konpran so soufrans. Zot tro zenn pou konpran, li panse. Li pa ti rod palto dideor. Palto la ti tom lor li kouma enn malediksion. So lizie plen ar larm ler li rapel kouma, lontan, bann zanfan ti antour li pou tann so bann zistwar. Ayo! Kouma pou fer letan lontan revini?

Li arete, retourn ver bann zanfan la. Zot re-aret zwe, dibout fix, get li. Li al drwat ver enn gro ros anba pie tamaren, asize. Li apel bann zanfan la, dir zot vinn
otour li parski li ena enn zoli zistwar tris pou rakont zot. Bann zanfan la tike. Zot pa sir. Kifer Adam Noah pe rod sanz bataz? Ki so plan? Enn parmi zot ki ena enpe plis toupe dimann li:
– Ki ou’le ar nou?
– Mo bizen zot… Mo gagn tro fre.
– Ale do ta! Fonndos!
Lontan li ti disik pou sa bann zanfan la. Kifer li finn vinn lasid? So palto kouler lapo serpan repous saler soley liver, atir freser profonder lamer. So lekor tranble kouma seki finn gagn lakranp toutou. Enn gran vertiz anvlop li, sarye li. Li tonbe. Bann zanfan kit zot zwe, galoupe vinn gete ki li pe gagne. Zot antour Adam Noah, lev li, anvlop li ar zot inosans. Nou vie rakonter zistwar resanti saler imen. So largorz amare. Li pa kapav tini enn sanglo ki sorti depi profonder so nam. So plore sakouy so lekzistans net. Bann zanfan may li pou konsol li. Dousma-dousma so palto dideor koumans fonn e lizie Adam Noah ki ranpli ar larm-dezwa, briye ar kouler larkansiel. Lalians ant li ek zanfan Bondie finn resoude ek beni par larkansiel ki tal grander so dom lor latet bann zanfan anba pie tamaren.

4. SAKENN SO PROGRAM

Tatwann pe gagn lakranp-lafiev. Depi enn tan so lasante finn vinn bien-bien frazil. Enn ti lagrip vit-vit dezenere, vinn bronsit. Lor enn fotey roten so fam, Klekle, asiz kot lili e get so figir pal, ramas-ramase, marke par soufrans eklere par lalimier feb enn veyez. So respirasion lour ar tchwenk-tchwenk. So lekor pe tranble, so ledan klake, so fron kouver ar sier-frwad. Trwa gro kamli lor li e li pe gagn fre mem. Trwazer-dimaten! Kot pou gagn dokter salerla? Bizen atann soley leve pou fer dokter vini. Salerla, zot finn sirman dekros telefonn.

“Bondie pa pran li. Samem tou mo ena”. Klekle toultan per ki enn zour li pou bizen viv tousel. So bann zanfan finn vinn gran. Sakenn so kote pe debrouye, pe tir jab par lake. Fale pa fatig latet bann zanfan la. Zot ena zot prop lamerdman. Si les zot kone zot pou fer det, si bizen, pou pran avion vini. Tatwann zame pou aksepte sa. Toultan li finn dir ki paran pa bizen vinn fardo pou zanfan. Lexperyans lavi finn montre li ki zanfan kapav degout zot paran si bann paran la blok devlopman bann zanfan la. Me ena osi enn lot rezon. Tatwann enn dimounn fier ek endepandan. Li finn pran tou prekosion me li pa ti panse ki so lasante pou fer koustik sa vites la.

Nou trase, nou tir plan me toultan nou plan voltize. So garson, apre so letid dokter, finn swazir pou al viv dan enn vilaz dan Lafrik Nwar. Tanzantan gagn so nouvel. Li donn lenpresion ki li ere. Lenpresion. Kifer zis apre lamor so gerlfrenn dan enn axidan bet – tou axidan bet – ki li ti pran so desizion? Ler li ti anons so desizion, Tatwann ti chomtayt pou pa les so sagren paret. Me depi sa zour la li ti vinn enn lot. Li ti transfer tou so lafeksion lor Klekle. Telman, ki kan li ti aprann ki so tifi enn lesbienn li pa ti montre okenn reaksion. Koumadir nanye aster pa kapav donn li sok. Drol tou sa. Zot deziem garson pourtan ena enn bon job dan enn enstitision enternasional. Li finn marye, li ena de zanfan. Kan koz li, Tatwann fer vadire li pa santi okenn fierte. Lavi finn donn li detrwa kout matrak lor latet e akoz sa li prefer pa montre ni so boner ni so maler.

Li tourn so latet, ouver so lizie. So lagren lizie pa kapav kasiet so douler. Li fer enn sourir forse pou anbet so fam.

– “To’le bwar enpe dite pir. Mo pers enn limon ladan”.

Li sakouy so latet dousman pou dir non. Ar enn regar som-som, fatige li get Klekle, elegan dan so vie dezabiye rouz, ki pe vey so lavi kouma enn santinel. Dan lespri Tatwann, Klekle enn sitadel ki zordi pe protez so lavi. Li rapel kan zot ti fek zwenn. Kouma li ti zoli! Zoli? Non. Pa zoli. Enn lot zafer. Enn kiksoz espesial. Enn lenerzi ki pran form enn sourir, enn lafors ki donn lavi enn gou espesial, enn bon santiman profon ki sem lespwar dan so lantouraz. Zoli, sa zis enn konvansion. Klekle zame ti enn konvansion. Tou so demars se enn kadans kot form, mouvman ek traze an-armoni. Parfwa Klekle ek Tatwann ti kouma volkan ki pet fler-dife, parfwa zot ti kouma enn larivier dilo kler ki desann depi montagn ziska lamer, parfwa zot ti kouma ler parfime ar disel maren dan gramaten. Zot ti tou, ansam. Dife, dilo, ler, later, lamer, montagn. De bengali lor enn brans, de kouto ki desir lape, de gout dilo sale ki fer lizie brile, enn senfoni ki nouvo sak fwa. Klekle finn donn Tatwann so zenes, so nam. Samem pli gran kado enn zom kapav gagne. Tatwann kone. Dan zot vie zour li nek bizen fouy so souvenir pou regagn anvi viv.

– “To ankor kontan mwa?”
– “To konn bien. Kifer to dimande?”
– “Mo kontan tann twa rabas mem betiz”.

Li pe rekoumans ris so lakord. Li pe bien savedir. Klekle konn bien so bonom. Kan li dan so moud li enn manzer krann. Dimoun ki pa konn li kapav sap lor kal.
– “Eta vie kouyon! To pizama tranpe. Atann, mo al sers enn serviet ek enn lot resanz pizama.”
– “To tro kontan met mwa touni”.
– “Ki pou fer ar enn vie makatcha rasi kouma twa”.

Finn fer gard so lekor dan lamorg pou ki so bann zanfan kapav vinn asiste so lanterman. Apre lanterman so trwa zanfan dimann Klekle ki li pou fer. Klekle get zot ar enn sourir. Li dir zot pa bizen trakase pou li. Tatwann ek li finn fini pran tou prekosion. Pa pou ena problem. So gran garson propoz pou retourn dan pei, so tifi propoz pou vinn viv ar li, so deziem garson propoz pou amenn li lot pey. Li fer so bann zanfan konpran ki zot ena zot lavi pou viv. Sak sezon ena so fler. Fler ge, fler tris. Sakenn ena so program e fale pa enn program gat enn lot program. Li finn bien viv so lavi.

Li get so trwa zanfan, fri so lamour pou Tatwann, ar boukou fierte ek emosion. Zot zoli bann zanfan la. Wi, zot bann portre zot papa; zot pou gard so lespri ek so zimaz vivan pou toultan. So tifi vinn asiz kot so lipie, poz so latet lor so zenou kouma li ti abitche fer lontan sak fwa so leker ti gro. Klekle kares so seve. So de
garson get deor par lafnet. Zot lizie mouye. Pendan detrwa segonn ena dan salon Klekle ase lamour pou nouri liniver.

Klekle so lizie fixe lor foto Tatwann. Li ti enn zoli zom. Zoli me sirtou bon. Li sir aster ki taler li pou rezwenn sel zom ki finn fer li santi ki lavi enn gran kado,
ki lamor pa vedir separasion. Antoine ek Cleopâtre pa ti ne pou viv separe.
