Poetry – Jhilam Adhikary

Koewadoko?

Ijime no oto,
Bujokuno oto,
Shizukanishiro!
Kaminari no oto,
Ame no oto,
Motto! Motto!
Hamei no you ni,
Namidano you ni,
Hoko! Hoko!
Ninikagawasureta,
Nanikagakaketa,
Kokoromitaina,
Kokorowadoko da?
Kokoro no itami,
Kokoro no koe,
Koeganai, kokorowadoko da?
Yume ganai,
Yume gadoko?
Akuma no oto,
Shizukanishiro!
Yume no koega,
Koewadoko?
Kaminari no oto,
Ame no oto,
Tasuketekurete,
DoumoArigatou!

Translation

Where is the voice?

The sound of bullying,
The sound of insults,
Be quiet!
The sound of thunder,
The sound of rain,
More! More!
Just like the screams,
Just like the tears,
Roar! Roar!
Something is forgotten,
Something is missing,
Just like the heart,
Where is the heart?
Pain of the heart,
Voice of the heart,
The voice is not here, where is the heart?
There’re no dreams,
Where are the dreams?
Voice of the devil,
Be quiet!
The voice of the dreams,
Where is the voice?
The sound of thunder,
The sound of rain,
For saving me,
Thank you!
