"And I Love You So"

🎧 Elvis Presley (1935_1977)

🩷And I love you so,
The people ask me how,
How I've lived till now
I tell them I don't know
و بسیار دوست‌ات دارم
مردم می‌پرسند چگونه
چگونه تا امروز دوام آوردم
می‌گویم که نمی‌دانم

💜I guess they understand
How lonely life has been
But life began again
The day you took my hand
گمان می‌کردم می‌فهمند.
آخر، زندگی در تنهایی چگونه ممکن است
لیکن زندگی دوباره جان گرفت
روزی که دست‌ام را گرفتی

🩶And yes I know how lonely life can be
Shadows follow me
The night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me
آری می‌دانم زندگی در تنهایی چگونه می‌تواند باشد
سایه‌های اندوه تعقیب‌ام می‌کنند
و تاریکی نمی‌خواهد دست از سرم بردارد
اما نمی‌گذارم غروب افسرده‌ام کند
حالا که کنارمی

🤍And you love me too
Your thoughts are just for me
You set my spirit free
I'm happy that you do
و تو نیز دوست‌ام داری
تمام فکر و ذکرت من‌ام
روح‌ام را رها کردی
و خرسندم که چنین می‌کنی

🩷The book of life is brief
Once the page is read
All but love is dead
This is my belief
کتاب زندگی کوتاه است
هرگاه که برگی از آن ورق می‌خورد
همه چیز به جز عشق کهنه و منسوخ است
این اعتقاد من است

زندگى كوتاهه،
همديگه رو يكم محكمتر بغل كنيد.. 🍬

“Oppression”

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.

✍ Langston Hughes

■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

💭Hughes's poem "Oppression" is written in a style that might be said to be conversational, but it is the poet speaking through the poem, not a character. The point of view might be considered "first person." The point of view can most closely be described as political and socially conscious. The value-oriented point of view expressed in the poem may be called also a politically minded point of view.

💭The poem, "Oppression," epitomizes "the gentle but insistent protest that runs through Hughes’s poems" (eNotes) and this stands as a good summation of the poem's point of view. 

💭The point of view in this poem is difficult to describe as we might describe the point of view of a work of fiction. There are no characters and so no way to determine the narrator's relationship to the characters and the story being told.

💭As it is, there is no "story" presented in the poem -- no narrative. Instead, the poem consists of two statements. The result is that we can describe the value-oriented point of view of the poet but not necessarily the literary point of view. 

💭The first statement made in the poem concerns a negative, current situation. 

Now dreams
Are not available
To the dreamers,
Nor songs
To the singers.

The effect of oppression is implicitly contrary...

💭The poem confronts the suppression of creativity and expression under oppressive regimes. Dreams and songs, symbols of imagination and freedom, are denied to those who would create them. The imagery of darkness and steel conveys the harshness of this oppression.

💭Despite the despair, the poem offers a glimmer of hope. The dream and song, like the human spirit, will endure and eventually break free from their chains. This resilience echoes Langston Hughes's other works, which often addressed the struggles and triumphs of marginalized communities.

💭Compared to the modernist and experimental styles prevalent at the time, this poem's simplicity and directness convey a sense of urgency and immediacy, reflecting the pressing need to speak out against oppression.
