ABOUT WEST SUMBA

Hand Me Sumba (by Mr. Taufik Ismail-a national poet of Indonesia)

 

In Uzbekistan, there are open and dusty meadow/Funny, I then remember Umbu. My Longing for Sumba is the longing for the open meadow/ where the sun arcs overthere the fire/My longing for Sumba is the longing to the young brooders/when the sweat and energy are no value counted/The ground full of grass, the hay of grass/The sounds of the ringing bells/the neighs of horse and the shouts of shepherds/Stand now anthe coast/the sun will rise from the sea/and the hot acid wind will blow from there/Give me a piece of roasted meat/the bellow of buffalos and bull during the night/.......... next
