Paris Thulare Poems

Le satlo kwišwa bohloko, la gegewa
Le satlo tshepišwa mehlolo, la wela
Le sa tlo bona dikgolo
Dibotse di tlo feta
...

No one remembers you
No one is here for you
No body will ever cry for you
No one is so keen to nourish you
...

What if the heaven we are told about doesn't exist,
What if it's a place we see only in our dreams.
Who has ever went there and came back?
Who has ever seen hell with his naked eyes?
...

I am the reflection ofmy own shadow
The one behind the existence of barrows
Because i have been given this life
...

To thee pains irreparable,
To thee lost stillborn,
To thee poor searching,
To you out there, the souls suffering
...

I didn't know you were capable of pulling such a miracle,
I was Depressant then,
With tears looting my face
I was a runner in my life,
...

Bona o ithlobogile boka mpša ya tswetši,
Bona o ikgonere,
nne le tshela go wena di ya swana.
Orile o sale yo monanana, waephethola komang-kanna,
...

O a phadima wa ipona?
O yo monanana o hloka mabadi,
O bjalo ka Mphatlalatšane o a nkgahla.
...

Maybe you should stop trying so hard to convince someone,
Maybe you should, stop caring.
Stop trying to prove a point
...

If I
told I was leaving would you believe me?
If I told you
I have no time left in me
...
