Now dreams
Are not available
To the dreamers,
Nor songs
To the singers.
In some lands
Dark night
And cold steel
Prevail
But the dream
Will come back,
And the song
Break
Its jail.

📚 افسردگی

دیگر رؤیاها
در دست‌رس نیستند
برای رؤیابینان
و ترانه‌ها
برای ترانه‌خوانان

در سرزمین‌هایی
شب تاریک
و فلز سرد
غلبه کرده‌اند
اما رؤیا
بازخواهد گشت
و ترانه قفل زندان‌اش را خواهد گشود

📝 Analysis:

💭This is not a narrate poem but a lyric with no character in it. The title of the poem offers an atmosphere of under press.
The first stanza makes the poem as a negative, current situation.

Now dreams
Are not available
To the dreamers,
Nor songs
To the singers.
 
💭Were the world free from oppression, songs would be available to the singers and dreams would be available to the dreamers. How can singers exist without songs and dreamers without dreams? The logical paradox of song-less singers and dreamless dreamers is expressing the powerful disruption caused by oppression in the lives and in the sense of being of those who are oppressed.
 
In some lands
Dark night
And cold steel
Prevail

💭The “dark night” and “cold steel” here are symbolizing the nature facts that brings oppression to author’s living place “some lands”, and those are prevailing for present.
But the dream
Will come back,
And the song
Break
Its jail.

💭The last statement of the poem is a form of promise or prediction.
The author’s attitude changing bring a shift to the emotion. The jail represents the oppression that stress people’s lives currently, broken of jail describes the anxiousness of narrator of staying in the pressure and his intense expectation to own freedom.

💭Back to the title, for the researching of the author’s background, the “oppression” was from racism that was rampant during the pinnacle of Langston Hughes’ career in America during the early 20th century’s Harlem Renaissance. This poem expresses his wish of been liberated from the racism.

🔹James Mercer Langston Hughes

was an American poet, social activist, novelist, playwright, and columnist from Joplin, Missouri. One of the earliest innovators of the literary art form called jazz poetry, Hughes is best known as a leader of the Harlem Renaissance.

Jingle bells 🎄

🎼 Jingle bells 🔔

─┤ ♩♬♫♪♭ ├───
jingle bells, jingle bells
اوه، زنگوله ها جرنگ جرنگ می کنند…
Jingle all the way
همه جا صدای جرنگ جرنگ زنگوله هاست!
Oh, what fun it is to ride
اوه، سواری خوردن چه کیفی داره!
In a one horse open sleigh…
سوار یک سورتمه تک اسبه و روباز…
Dashing through the snow
تندی از وسط برفها رد میشیم…
In a one horse open sleigh
سوار ِ یک سورتمه تک اسبه و روباز
O’er the fields we go
از جاهایی که رد میشیم!
Laughing all the way…
همه جا صدای خنده است…
Bells on bob tails ring…
زنگوله های بسته به دم چتری ها، صدا میکنن!
Making spirits bright
آدم رو سرحال میارن….
What fun it is to laugh and sing
خندیدن و سرود خوندن چه کیفی داره!
A sleighing song tonight!
امشب یک سرود سورتمه ای…

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells…
اوه، زنگوله ها جرنگ جرنگ می کنند
Jingle all the way…
همه جا صدای جرنگ جرنگ زنگوله هاست!
Oh, what fun it is to ride…
اوه، سواری خوردن چه کیفی داره!
In a one horse open sleigh
سوار ِ یک سورتمه تک اسبه و روباز
Jingle bells, jingle bells!
Jingle all the way…
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh…
A day or two ago!
یکی دو روز قبل…
I thought I’d take a ride
تو فکر سواری خوردن بودم…
And soon Miss Fanny Bright!
بعد یهو خانم فانی برایت…
Was seated my side!
کنارم نشسته بود…
The horse was lean and lank
اسبه لاغر و وارفته بود…
Misfortune seemed his lot!
انگاری خیلی بد آورده بود…
We got into a drifted bank…
با سر رفتیم تو یک تپه برفی!
And then we got upset…
اونوقت بود که دلخور شدیم!

Distante neighbor

Last night, the tree of ash
Almost spoke-
But didn’t.
همسایه‌ی دور

دیشب درخت افرا
حرفی برای گفتن داشت-
اما نگفت.
