Ler mo dir bannla, pa bizen
Aksantegi, grav, sirkonflex;
‘e’ pa bizen beki ditou:
‘be’, ‘de’, ‘fe’, ‘ge’, ‘me’, ‘ne’, ‘pe’, ‘re’…
Zot fer latet dir. Tro kone!

Don Kisot dir moulen-avan,
“Aret tourn dan vid, mo piti;
Tansion tourdisman fer ravaz.”
Moulen-avan pa ekoute.

Zot tou kontinie persiste:
Si Franse servi bann aksan,
Kreol, batar Franse, bizen
Swiv model ki Bondie done.
Kreol pa gagn drwa fer zanfout.

Don Kisot dir moulen-avan,
“Aret tourn dan vid, mo piti;
Tansion tourdisman fer ravaz.”
Moulen-avan pa ekoute.

Pa bizen ‘e u r’; ‘e r’
Ase pou ekrir ‘travayer’,
‘ber’, ‘deryer’, ‘fezer’, ‘joubaner’.
Kan fonem ‘e’ pas par nene,
Ekrir li ‘en’, pa ‘in’.

Don Kisot dir moulen-avan,
“Aret tourn dan vid, mo piti;
Tansion tourdisman fer ravaz.”
Moulen-avan pa ekoute.

‘en’ + ‘n’ vinn ‘enn’; li pa vinn
‘inn’. ‘Latrenn’ zame vinn ‘latrinn’.
‘Ben’, ‘benn’; ‘den’, ‘denn’; ‘gen’, ‘genn’; ‘len’, ‘Lenn’
Zot gagn ginn kan Linn deklar Lenn;
Kan lalinn kwar li’nn vinn lalenn.

Don Kisot dir moulen-avan,
“Aret tourn dan vid, mo piti;
Tansion tourdisman fer ravaz.”
Moulen-avan pa ekoute.

Ler mo dir bannla, bizen plant
Bwa-debenn ek bwa-mangliye;
Bizen plant ‘hemp’ partou pou fer
Sebede, enn meksinn mirak,
Zot prefer plant kann ek dite.

Don Kisot dir moulen-avan,
“Aret tourn dan vid, mo piti;
Tansion tourdisman fer ravaz.”
Moulen-avan pa ekoute.

Ler mo dir bannla, friyapen
Nouri nou lekor ek lespri,
Zot dir zot prefer lafarinn
Sort Lafrans, basmati sort Lenn.
Batat-mayok fer zot gagn ‘wek’.

Don Kisot dir moulen-avan,
“Aret tourn dan vid, mo piti;
Tansion tourdisman fer ravaz.”
Moulen-avan pa ekoute.

Ler mo dir, lor nou lil Kreol,
Nou kapav ranz nouvo lavi
Zot pa dakor ditou-ditou:
“Nou Bondie, lizie ble, sorti
Lafrans”; “nou Shivji res dan Lenn.”

Don Kisot dir moulen-avan,
“Aret tourn dan vid, mo piti;
Tansion tourdisman fer ravaz.”
Moulen-avan pa ekoute.

Mo finn deside pou aret koze;
Olie rent mo nam ouver lizie tang,
Mwa ek mo Loga, nou finn deside
Kikfwa li meyer les bann tang anpe
Ler nou sant…

To ranpli mo lavi
Kouma ler dan mo poumon
Kouma soley dan lesiel
Kouma lapli an Mars
Kouma rafal enn siklonn
Kouma ble lamer kalm
To ranpli mo lavi
Vinn ranpli mo nam

Les mo kontan twa
Les mo donn twa mo lamour
Les mo ploz dan to lazwa
Mor dan to lebra
La toultan koste ar twa
Nou res ansam pou touzour
Les mo kontan twa
Ankor kontan twa
Hmmm …

Les mo donn twa mo lamour
Les mo kontan twa
Ankor kontan twa

To ranpli mo lavi …

DIFERAN VIZAZ BONDIE

Dear Almighty, help me Lord!
They say I’m polytheistic
Because in my prayers
Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva are present.
They are the Creator,
The Preserver and
Destroyer.
They say I worship idols
Because Shiva on His Bull
In our lounge
And Ganesha in Loga’s writings
Stand out.

     Goodness gracious me!
     God of destruction?
     Contradiction in terms!
     Rather Satan or Lucifer!

No Madam! No Sir!
Well versed Hindu faith finds
Manichaeism
Repulsive and retrograde.
Life is a contradiction;
Nothing exists without its opposite;
Unity of opposites is the key to development.
Creation and destruction
Are the two faces of the same coin:
For the New to rise, the old must die.
Growth, development and progress
Are part of an ongoing process of birth and death
From the Big Bang to the Big Crunch
And to Big Bang 2.

And Vishnu the Preserver
Through different avatars (avtaar),
Be it Rama, Krishna or Jesus,
Tells us that temporary balance
Between creation and destruction
Helps the world go round.
What is here now is dynamic:
New universes are born and old ones
Simply die; our universe with its Milky Way
Is expanding
And will some day explode.

This is what well versed Hinduism is about.
I think!

                                 

Unity of opposites is the key to development.
