O land I love you green
Green
an apple dancing in water and light
Green
your night green, your dawn green
so plant me with the tenderness of a mother’s hand
in a handful of air
I am one of your seeds
Green …
The Dice Player, Mahmoud Darwish, Mural, Translated by John Berger and Rema Hammami, Verso, musique by Trio Joubran

Thanks for this. Could you tell us more about the poet, his background, what language the original poem is in?
With best regards.
Mahmoud Darwish (1941-2008) was from Palestine, so I suppose he speaks in Arabic
