HENRIKE KNÖRR: ISABABASO, IZABA (ERRONKARI)
Subject: Isababaso
Date: Fri, 2 Jun 2006 05:38:47 +0200
Adiskide on hori:
Agindu gisa, hona non Ibargen-Cachopínen kronikan Izabaz aurkitzen dena:
"El solar de Isababaso, a quien tanbién llaman, abrebiado el nombre, Isaba, es en bal de Roncal. Trahe por debisa en azul dos panelas de plata, y sobre cada una sendas cabeças de reyes moros tocadas y coronadas de plata".
"Capítulo de la generación de gentes estrañas que a España binieron". Istoria general española y sumario de la cassa vizcaína. Julen Arriolabengoaren edizioa, argitaragabea, I, 523.
Ez egin kasurik hor ageri den kapituluaren tituluari. Gauza asko nahasten ohi dira kapituluetan. Dakizunez, liburu hori XVI. mendean idatzi zen, zati handienari dagokiola.
Ongi izan, eta agin iezaiozue zerbitzari apal honi.

Nire irakasle eta adiskide on hori:
Zer moduz? Bi hitz baizik ez, esateko etzi hitzaldi bat eman behar dudala Huescan Anso eta Euskarari buruz. Aragoin nahiko haserre omen daude nire tesiarekin eta ez dakit tas-tas ipurdian emango ez ote didaten, kolonialismo bezala ulertu baitute batzuek Aragoin euskaraz mintzatu dela esan izana. Baina, tira!
Hitzaldia ostiralean izanen da, arratsaldeko 7:00etan, Huescako Diputazioaren Aretoan. V TROBADAS EN TORNO A LA LUENGA E LITERATURA ARAGONESA-n jardunaldien baitan. Etorri nahiko bazenu, esaidazu. Badakit oso lanpeturik zabiltzala baina, etortzerik bazenu, telefonoz deitu.
Eta beste gauza bat... Azkenean liburua argitaratu behar didate eta bururatu zait ea zuk egingo zenidakeen hitzaurre bat, orri pare bat nire liburuari aurkezpena eman ahal izateko, balio handiagokoa litzateke zure sarrera hitzak bertan egongo balira. Zuk diozun bezala, beti gabiltza gure aurreko erraldoien sorbaldetara igotzen eta hala egin nahiko nuke nik, zure sorbaldeetara igo eta handik mundua ikusi. Hitzaurrea hori egiteko modu bat izan liteke.
Ongi bada, Henrike, segi bizkor eta egongo gara!
Gabon,
Juankar

"NAVARRA" PABILIOIA ETA EXPO ZARAGOZA
"Navarra" gunean euskarak jai
Neure burua marroan ikusi
Eta alde egin dut gauerdian
Neke egina, zigor gupidagabeaz
Uda baitut adore
Baina, aldi berean, dolore ekarle
Batzuentzat gaitzesgarri naizelarik ere
Maitagarria naiz, guztiz maitea
Nekearen ondorioak jaso
Eta bazterrean gelditu diren horientzat
Irakaspenak ematen ez sobera zoli,
Aholkulari txarra naizen arren
Mintza nakion
Belarritik tiratu behar zaionari
Ezen pauso txikiak ematen baditut ere
Begirada batean den-dena ikusten dut
Argi eta garbi
Batzuen lotsagabekeria guztia
Errekak zer ekarriko zain nago
Ebroaren korronteari begira ez darabilt deus ere gogoan
Ezorduan joan behar dut
Eta damutzeko inoiz ez da berandu

THE VOICE THAT EMIGRATED
As if they were escaping
The wandering swallows
Are like a quiet Babel without language
They go towards the sea
Flying among clouds
To Juan de Beriain and Michel Labéguerie
swallows of the Basque language
The Scaffold
When you say that language is dying
It is as if you said that fire is being extinguished
When I say that language is dying
It is as if I said that the lamb is dying
But fire is extinguished naturally, by itself
And the lamb, nevertheless, is sold by a Judas
It is crucified unjustly by a Pilate
And a Longinos hangman kills it
The Voice that Emigrated
I write in the language of my ancestors, because that is, or better said, was the language of this bishopric, and even though my forbears may not agree about different aspects of these lectures, although I use some words that they did not at the time and other words they used are already lost and I do not know them, I write in the language that was spoken in the Head of this Kingdom, which was the majority language in our territory and the only one that was understood in all our towns.
Nowadays, this is called a"minority" language.
Our neighbour’s language has swallowed us. But our language is democratically very deep because if somebody does not understand it, they can ask someone who knows and if they do not understand absolutely anything at all and they do not want to ask a person who knows, they can forget it because it is a language that nobody uses, a language that is dying. Well, to be brief, sometimes I cut and add new words to make these poems brighter and more understandable. But sometimes I think that I am just wasting my time.
Perhaps, I will hide away. I will leave in the mountains and I will become a sailor.
The Whale and the Boat
I live in a glass house. It is very pretty but fragile, just like dreams. Then I think about the cozy shelter that Pitxitxi the cat owns beyond the sea and where all mice live peacefully.
I have met thousands of cats in the world, each speaking its own language, a foreign language like yours. They are usually mouthless cats, living in borrowed time in an unstable way.
I take my small suitcase and I close the door heading for the sea. My voice will never be silenced. It is a whale which throws water through its backhole. The boat is waiting for me. Where will it lead me to?
My paper boat does not have silver nails
It is a nutshell, a pile of logs badly tied
Through the cracks a little water leaks
Sometimes more than a little
But I am not scared, we have a wonderful sun
I am used to sailing in a voyage of blackness from the Black Sea to blacker seas
There are too many people, among the mass of human trunks
Numb by the humid wind blowing and with marine salt in my lips,
The prow can frighten anyone
But me, oh, how crazy! I cannot even swim!
If I could, really, what would that matter?
If I were a bird I would fall into the snare
If a whale,
In the net trap of the drowned bodies that water swells
If I reached the shore I would be arrested and
With the admiration of the shaky and freezing light of the prison cell
I could still be beaten to death in some barracks on the coast
The Cats of the Lamppost in the Park
The crossing has been long but I am already here. Now I have become a cat. After travelling inside a truck, my friend Pitxitxi —a cat from my own town, and an immigrant, like me—, has offered me a place in its cathole. We are several cats of different furs and origins living in the same mousehole. This circumstance would be amusing if it was not for the lack of metaphoric adornment it supposes and the discomfort it generates. There is nothing, not even a simple decoration.
In the cat’s home you only need to worry about the daily stuff, about selling handkerchiefs and gathering at night before going to bed. We could say that it is a small international conference of forgotten voices. Nobody is really from here, from these coordinates, from these latitudes, from these parallels. We are from there. There is our hometown. We come from other shelters, other worlds, both near and far, from other denigrated languages, both vernacular and foreign. We come from other voices that our parents would sweetly whisper to us. Babel is my new house and my language, the flag of society’s outcasts.
They say I am mad, raving mad, because I walk the streets speaking aloud to myself. I am like a dumb one who, despite speaking with his glance, nobody listens to. Today I visited the city and its red tile roofs. When I reached the park it was late and I climbed to the top of the statue of the prince warrior who defeated the cats, and I saw other dumb people, natives and immigrants, and they were in a worse situation than mine. This is the truth.
I have also seen how the young subjects of the great snow-white cat felinely carried lighters and bottles full of volatile and flammable liquid in their hands. They went to silence the miaows of the cats that live under the lamppost of the park. Cats like Pitxitxi, pitchblack, but homeless, mew-mews as thin as little fingers, skinny mew-mews without sardines. Some showed the blows of previous abuse. Before them spoke the incendiary ones: "Here, there can’t be other word than our word. The voice of the fire owners. Ours is the only genuine miaow".
They will find
Neither white flowers
Nor traces
The bench that you used as a bed until yesterday
The voice you used as emigrant compass
Will be today, along with your body, fuel to the flames
But you will become the bush that burns
But is never consumed
You will be eternally on fire
As long as the word in the mouth of your people remains alive

NEURE BURUA MARROAN IKUSI ETA
I
Neure burua marroan ikusi
Eta alde egin dut gauerdian
Lur jota zigor gupidagabeaz
Larrazkena baitut malko ekarle
Batzuentzat urkagai naizelarik
Maitagarria naiz, guztiz maitea
Erasoen ondorio latzak jaso
Eta minez geratu direnentzat
Gogoetan zoli, oharkor zorrotz
Urratsak labur, begirada luze
Errekak zer ekarriko zain nago
Korrontera begira mila galde
Baina ezorduan aldendu behar
Eta ihardesteko da berandu
II
Gauak ematen ditut ekurugaitz
Logabe, begiak itxi ezinik
Zapaltzeko teknikak ez jakinki
Eta kezkaz nago, egonezinez
Ni, aldiz, aski ezagutzen naute
Nire sorbaldak dituzte atsegin
Hortaz nago, zigarro erre gabe,
Zanpatu gorrien korridorean
Goian zeruko argiaren ordez
Odolezko planeta dugu, Marte
Bidegabekeriaren jainkoa
Baina Justiziaren alde nago
Eta esperantzazko hitzak ditut
“Hauskor dirudi” edo “Hauts dezaket”
III
Ni, ordea, entzungor eta aske
Lanean nago, lurrari ekiten
Denak oihuka ari zaizkit orain
Baina segaz naute belar-epaile
Orain hazia ereiten ari naiz
Gero, izerdiz, uzta jasotzeko
Lurra idorra delako, mokorra
Pausoka ildoa handituz noa
Haiek bezala ni ere ebasle
Ohoin lapur neurekoi izan nintzen
Orain goldelari bilakatu naiz
Badakit lau or arian-arian
Hurbil nituela usna-usnaka
Erori ziren segaren segadan
IV
Lilitegien, urmahelen lagun
Parkeko arrabitajolearen
Harrizko irudia mintzatu zait
Ezin da haizea kaiolan hertsi
Mendi aldera begira nengoen
Eta aitak “Itsasoa” ziostan
Andre-arrainak ikusi nituen
Lau txorrotako iturri ondoan
Urteak joan eta itsasneskak
Ixildu ziren mutuak bezala
Erdeinuz erabiliak, etsiak
Gu ere ziztatuak izan ginen,
Destainaren arantzez ohituak
Ez gara ez ohartzen, ez lotsatzen
Iruñea, 2003ko larrazkena
