בלדה לבת הטוחן - פירוש מזדמן

היי לכולם,
בן דודתי שאל אותנו מה לדעתנו המסר של השיר "בלדה לבת הטוחן" של איציק מאנגער, תרגום של דן אלמגור, וכתבתי את דעתי.
אני חושבת שעשיתי עבודה דיי יפה יחסית לזמן שהשקעתי בלמידה על השיר והאדם, ולכן החלטתי לפרסם את זה פה:

מילים:

נִצָּב לִפְנֵי שַׁעַר הַמֶּלֶךְ
חַיָּל עַל הַמִּשְׁמָר,
שׁוֹמֵעַ צִפּוֹר מְזַמֶּרֶת
עַל גַּג הָאַרְמוֹן הַמְּפֹאָר:
"לְבַת־הַטּוֹחֵן,
לְבַת־הַטּוֹחֵן, שֵׂעָר שָׁחֹר!"
כָּךְ שָׁרָה הַצִּפּוֹר.

Publisher: Good House

Publish Year: 2016
284 pages.


The book's description (from Goodreads):
All I ever wanted was a home - stability, hard walls, and roots so deep they could withstand the strongest storm. Through long hours and determination, I was finally on my way, signing contracts for my brick and mortar shop, and beginning to feel settled for the first time in my life.

But the night I met John Eaton I felt that stability crumble. His smile was a mixture of little boy and pure devil at the same time. Handsome and charming, I knew his type, knew the sort of games that came with men like him.

So I pushed. But he pulled harder. I tried to fight it, to shove away the connection that clawed at my heart, but it was too late. Roots dug in, grew deep, and twisted. John fell for me, and I for him. He was impossible to resist. I was his.

But a secret is a dangerous thing. Held too long, it can rip a life apart.

Destroy the man I loved.

Destroy us.

The book's description (from Goodreads):
You think it's safe to walk alone at night. It's not.
You think the only threat is other humans. It's not.
Monsters are real. Demons are real. Vampires are real.
And I'm about to become one of them.
My name is Arianna Spero. I was an ordinary girl, living an ordinary life, until my mother lapsed into a coma. Now, I am her only hope. She made a deal with the devil, and on my 18th birthday he came to collect. But there's a way to save her. There's something the princes of hell want more than my mother.
Me.
So I signed my soul away and promised to pick a prince to marry. I would take the blood oath, become one of them, and give them an heir. I would become a princess of hell, and my mother would live.
I expected fire and brimstone. I expected pain and misery. I didn't expect beauty. I didn't expect magic.

מאחורי הקלעים

אני עובדת עכשיו על ספר שכנראה אף אחד לא מכיר ואף אחד לא ביקש. Oh, well...
עוד מעט אסיים אותו, מזל שהוא ספר קצר.
נראה איך אכתוב את הפוסט שלו.

יומקסים,
אליס.
