Patrizia Gatteca reading her poem in Corsican and Tsead Bruinja reading the Frisian translation during a translation workshop for poets writing in minority languages in Slovenia.

 Corsican Original:

 Sò chjari i purtelli
 I so vetri d'acqua
 Ci lacanu ciuttà
 Soli sunniati
 M'arrimbu à sente l'estate
 Mentr'ellu dorme chetu
 U tempu sottu à e cennere.

 English working translation:

 Clear windows
 Are liquid glass
 Where sun
 dreams dive
 I bow to breathe the summer
 as time sleeps peacefully
 in the ashes.

 Frisian translation:

 De ruten binne skjin
 wetterglêzen
 litte sinne
 dreamen dûke
 Ik bûg om simmer yn my op te nimmen
 wylst sy fredich sliept
 yn `e jiske.
