ريتا

بين ريتا وعيوني بندقية

والذي يعرف ريتا

ينحني ويصلي

لإله في العيون العسلية

وأنا قبَّلت ريتا

عندما كانت صغيرة

وأنا أذكر كيف

التصقت بي وغطت

ساعدي أحلى ضفيرة

وأنا أذكر ريتا

مثلما يذكر عصفورٌ غديره

آه... ريتا

بيننا مليون عصفور وصورة

ومواعيد كثيرة

أطلقت ناراً عليها

بندقية

اسم ريتا

كان عيداً في فمي

جسم ريتا

كان عرساً في دمي

وأنا ضعت بريتا

سنتين

وهي نامت فوق زندي

سنتين

وتعاهدنا على أجمل كأس

واحترقنا

في نبيذ الشفتين

وولدنا مرتين

في نبيذ الشفتين

ولدنا مرتين

آه... ريتا

أي شيء ردَّ عن عينيك عينيَّ

سوى إغفاءتين

وغيوم عسلية

قبل هذه البندقية

كان يا ما كان

يا صمت العشيَّة

قمري هاجر

في الصبح بعيداً

في العيون العسلية

والمدينة كنست كل المغنين

وريتا

بين ريتا وعيوني.

بندقية

Rita

between Rita and my eyes, there is a gun

and those who know Rita

kneel down and pray

to the god of her honey coloured eyes

and i kissed Rita

when she was young

and i remember how

she clung to me and i was covered

from my shoulder with the most beautiful braid

and i remember Rita

like a bird remembers a brook

oh...Rita

between us, a million birds and pictures

and countless dates

these were shot

by a gun

The name Rita

was the Eid in my mouth

The body of Rita

was a wedding in my blood

and i was lost with Rita

for two years

and she slept on my arm

for two years

and we made promises over the best glass

and we burned

within the lips of wine

and we were born twice

within the lips of wine

and were born twice

oh...Rita

what kept my eyes away from your eyes?

except two naps

and honey clouds

before this gun

once upon a time

oh silence of the evening

my moon travelled

far away in the morning

in the eyes of honey

and the city swept away all the singers

and Rita

between Rita and my eyes

there is a rifle

Komentarz autora:

this song is written about a girl named Rita, who is separated from her love by force, hence the mention of the gun. contextually this could be referring to the Lebanese civil war or apartheid of Jewish people

بندقية with a gun, referring to the separation of his love by force
العيون العسلية honey eyes, referring to the hazel eyes of Rita
وغيوم عسلية honey clouds, referring to the blurred sight of the hazel eyes

Factually wrong on all three counts.

Darwish wrote this about a specific woman. Her name was Tamar Ben-Ami, and she actually was Jewish.
They were separated by the Six Day War specifically.
There is no ‘apartheid’. Discrimination, sure, but Arab citizens in Israel are legally entitled to all protections Jewish ones are. In the West Bank they’re simply not Israeli citizens; Arab Israelis who move into Israeli settlements (which is a rare but possible occurrence, especially in Ariel) there are on par with Jewish ones who do.
The Occupation is Israel, not ‘Jewish’. Plenty of Jews (depending on your definition, most, actually) do not live in Israel, and there are plenty of non-Jews in the military (most notably Druze, Bedouins, and Former Soviets), including in combatant units.

You should rewrite those translator’s notes from scratch. And also format your footnotes properly while you’re at it.
