I Am Taliesin....

Sebenarnya, sudah lama vid ini berada dalam simpanan saya... persembahan yang menarik, bersahaja dan mempunyai karaktor yang tersendiri... Lebih2 lagi yang mempersembahkannya itu salah seorang pelakon kegemaran saya Mr Fantastic aka Ioan Gruffudd... hehe Tergerak hati nak meneliti isi maksud kandungan yang diperkatakan... dan inilah dia....

*********************************

I am Taliesin

I sing perfect metre

I’ll sing till the day of judgement

I am Taliesin

I understand secrets

Why a cow has horns; why a woman is affectionate

Why salt is salty and a kid is bearded

Why milk is white and berries is red

Why the stag is speckled

Why fish have scales

Why swan is white though it has black feet

I know why…

Why night falls and the sun rises

Why the stars turn for ever in the ice wind

I know where the cuckoos of summer are in winter

I know what beasts they are at the bottom of the sea

How many spears there are in a battle

How many drops in a shower

Why the river drowned the Pharoch’s people

I am Taliesin

I know it all….

I have through it all

I have been in every form

I have been a dog… a stag..

a roebuck on the mountain

A stock, a spade, an axe in the hand

I have been a fool in an eternity for a year and a half

I have been a grain of corn on the side of the mountain

Before I was reaped and placed in an oven

I felt to the ground and a hen swallowed me

For nine days and night I was warm in her crop

I have been a man and a god

I have been dead, I have been alive..

I am Taliesin

I sing perfect metre

My muse will live forever in the end of the world

Rupa-rupanya, ianya satu karya agung dari tanah jauh di seberang sana. Ioan menyampaikannya dalam bahasa Welsh (salah satu bangsa di tanah England ialah Welsh... correct me if im wrong ye...) Kisah 1001 satu pengembaraan yang digarap menjadi sebuah puisi yang saya rasakan cukup menarik. Hmm... mengingatkan saya pada salah seorang senior ketika di universiti dahulu... heh siapa ek.. ;);)
