A translation of "Der Sterntaler"





The Star Money 
Once upon a time, there was a little girl, whose father and mother were dead, and she was so poor that she no longer had a room to live in, and no longer had a bed to sleep in, and finally, she had nothing but the clothes on her body and a little bit of bread in her hand, that some compassionate heart had given her.
She was good and pious, and because she was left from all the world all the world, she went forth into the open country, trusting the good god. 
Then a poor man met her who said: "Ah, give me something to eat, I am hungry."
She handed him the whole bread and said" God bless you, and went forwards.

Then came a kid, who whined and said: My head is so cold give me something, by which I can cover. so she took her hood and gave it to him. 
And when she had walked for a while, Came another kid and had no jacket on and was frozen, then she gave him her own, and a little farther on one bagged her for a frock, she gave that away too.
Finally, she arrived into the forest and was already becoming dark, and there came another kid and begged for a shirt, and the good girl thought "it's a dark night and no one sees you, you can very well give your shirt", and took the shirt off and gave it away too.
And as so she stood and had nothing at all. Falls some stars from heaven, and were nothing but money, and although she had just given her shirt away so she had a new one, which was of the finest linen, then she put the money into it and was rich for all her days of life und war reich für sein Lebtag.

الكذب الهوسي

هل حنث محمد حسين يعقوب في اليمين أمام القاضي أم لا؟ مختصر الإجابة نعم حنث ويجب محاكمته بتهمة الحنث في اليمين. هختار ثلاث أسئلة فقط لانه سئل أكثر من ثلاثون سؤال، والحنث يتطلب قول عكس الحقيقة في سؤال واحد بس مادام الكذب مش نتاج نسيان، فثلاث أسئلة كويس لأثبات كذبه وإنه مكنش دايخ. (1. القاضي ما رأيك في تكفير الحاكم؟ يعقوب: إن الكلام في التكفير لا يجب أن يكون في المطلق ويجب أن يكون لشخص معين وأنها مسألة قضائية فالقاضي هو من يحكم عليه ونحن دعاة وليس قضاة وليس لنا أن نحكم في هذه المسألة.) كذب يعقوب لأنه كفر الرئيس السابق محمد حسني مبارك. (2. - القاضي: ما حكم قتال الجيش والشرطة وضرب المنشآت الحكومية؟ يعقوب: إنه لا يجوز قتل المسلم. ليرد القاضي، أنا لا أتحدث عن المسلمين، ولكني أتحدث عن الجيش والشرطة بمن فيهم من مسلمين وغير مسلمين، ليرد يعقوب، إن اللي يقتل مسلم أو غير مسلم "يقتل" وربنا سبحانه قال: "من يقتل مؤمنا متعمدا فجزاؤه جهنم خالدا فيها".) برضوا كذب يعقوب لان له خُطْبة شهيرة في رابعة يحرض على الجيش والشرطة ونصها كالاتي: السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته انا احبكم في الل...

Dual translation for Lied vom Kindsein/Song of childhood by Peter Handke

Poetic translation: When the child was a child, He walked with hanging arms,  Wanted the brook to be a river, the river to be a stream, and these puddle to be a sea, When the child was a child, he didn’t know that he was, everything inspired him, Everything had a soul, and all souls were one, When the child was a child, he had no opinion, no habit, Sat with crossed legs, Ran out of the stood, Had a swirl in his hair and made no faces when taking a photo. When the child was a child, it was the time for the these questions: Why am I me and not you? Why am I here not there? When did the time begin and when does the space end? Isn’t life under the sun just a dream? Is what I see, hear, and smell nothing but an illusion of a world before the world? Does evil really exist and that people are the true evil ones? How can it be that I who I am, didn't exist before, and that once I that I am will no longer be the I who I am any more. Word to word translation: When/as child child was,  W...
