记住
作者: 乔伊•哈乔 翻译: Phil
记住你诞生的头上天空，
知道每一颗星星的传说。
记住月亮，认识她是谁。
记住日出时的黎明，那是
最好的时间。记住日落
它让位与夜晚。
记住你的出生，母亲如何奋力
造你成型给你气息。你是
她，她母亲，母亲的母亲的生命记号。
记住你的父亲，他也是你的生命。
记住大地，你皮肤的颜色:
红土地，黑土地，黄土地，白土地
棕色土地，我们是土地。
记住植物，树木，动物的生命
她们都有自己的部落，家庭，历史。
与她们说话，倾听她们。她们是活的诗歌。
记住风。记住她的声音。她知道
宇宙的起源。
记住你就是所有的人所有的人
都是你。
记住你就是这宇宙而这
宇宙就是你。
记住一切都在运动，在生长，一切是你。
记住语言来自于此。
记住舞蹈是语言，生命也是。
记住。

Remember
Joy Harjo,1951
Remember the sky that you were born under,
know each of the star's stories.
Remember the moon, know who she is.
Remember the sun's birth at dawn, that is the
strongest point of time. Remember sundown
and the giving away to night.
Remember your birth, how your mother struggled
to give you form and breath. You are evidence of
her life, and her mother's, and hers.
Remember your father. He is your life, also.
Remember the earth whose skin you are:
red earth, black earth, yellow earth, white earth
brown earth, we are earth.
Remember the plants, trees, animal life who all have their
tribes, their families, their histories, too. Talk to them,
listen to them. They are alive poems.
Remember the wind. Remember her voice. She knows the
origin of this universe.
Remember you are all people and all people
are you.
Remember you are this universe and this
universe is you.
Remember all is in motion, is growing, is you.
Remember language comes from this.
Remember the dance language is, that life is.
Remember.
