Inda Hanyar ke Narkewa
Ta yaya yaro zai iya zama shiru?
Don Allah, don Allah, binne ni
tare da Hope Sandoval rera waka,
“Cikin Dura”
a matsayin mawaƙin Mazzy Star,
yayin da duniya ta zama mafi ban mamaki.
Ta yaya mutum zai iya yin shiru?
Na gode, na gode, ji ni
da kawai wadannan kalmomin,
maganata, ba shahararren mawaƙi,
kawai ni, yana cewa wadannan Lines,
kawai duniya tayi biris da mawaki.
Yau ne rana, don haka tattaunawar rana,
a tsakanin dukkanin muryoyin Hunturu
kwana inda sanyi baya zama cuta,
amma idan na tuna wannan yaron
neman kadan idan karami
Ina son yadda ban sani ba,
Bana son sani.
Anyi da ƙarfin rassan
kun zo hanyar mota
tare da kafafu cikakke, wasa kanka
ta hanyar igiyoyi da iko
hagu zuwa waka da ka sani na sani.
Hagu daga inda alkalami ya zauna, eh,
a cikin aljihun tebur ka kare
inda yaron da mutumin suka yi dariya
akai-akai saboda rayuwa tana bayarwa
ba shakka, yana bawa kowanne ɗan abu kaɗan
na rana da duhu.
Wani abu wani zai samu
a tsakiyar filin
inda dusar ƙanƙara take shawagi a kan tsofaffin sawun.
Hanyar narkewa na duk shiri
su bar kasashensu ana jefa musu bam
ko yi masa karya, an ɗauke su daga 'ya'yansu
sun yi imanin cewa Kanada na iya taimakawa wajen haɓaka,
zai iya taimakawa zuwa wancan gefen
inda aka sami yanki mai fili.
Babu dusar ƙanƙara, babu iska, babu adawa
zuwa gare su kawai fatan
don tsayawa ba zamewa ba
duk wani buri da zai sa su fada.
