15Dear Karina.Karina malalako.
16After my family, what I miss the most is the sea.Aorian'ny fianakaviako, izay tena banga amiko betsaka tokoa dia ny ranomasina.
17It has been 35 years since the last time I saw it.35 taona izay no lasa hatramin'ny fotoana farany nahitako azy.
18But I have painted it many times, both the Atlantic and the Caribbean, the smiling foam in Cabo Rojo, which is made of light mixed with salt.Saingy efa imbetsaka aho no nanao sary azy, na i Atlantika izany, na i Karaiba, ireo roatra mitsiky ao Cabo Rojo, izay avy amin'ny fifangaroan'ny hazavana mamiratra sy ny sira.
19For any Puerto Rican, living far from the sea is almost incomprehensible.Ho an'ny olona ao Puerto Rico, tena zavatra tsy takatrny saina izany hoe miaina lavitry ny ranomasina izany.
20It's different when you know you are free to move anywhere and to travel to see it.Hafa mihitsy rehefa fantatrao hoe malalaka ianao handeha na aiza na aiza ary mitsangatsangana hijery azy io.
21It doesn't matter if it is grey and cold.Tsy olana na maloka sy mangatsiaka aza ny andro.
22Even if you see the sea in a faraway country, you realize that it always starts again (as a poet once said), and that fish that drew close to your land may pass through this sea, bringing memories from over there.Na dia mahita ranomasina aza ianao any aminà firenena lavitra any, dia ho tsapana fa misy fiantombohany vaovao foana izany (tahaka ny nambaran'ny poety iray indray andro izay), ary ilau trondro izay voasarika teo akaikinao teo an-torapasika iny mbola mety handeha hitety io ranomasina io, hitondra fahatsiarovana any ho any
23I learned to swim from a very young age, I must have been about three years old.Mbola tena tany amin'ny fahazazako tokoa aho no nianatra nilomano, teo amin'ny telo taona teo angamba aho.
24One of my father's cousins, who lived with us and was like a big brother to me, used to take me to the beach where he swam with his friends, and would throw me into the water so that I would learn.Iray tamin'ireo rahalahin-draiko, izay nonina niaraka taminay sy toy ny zokibe ho ahy, no natetika notondra ahy nankeny amoron-tsiraka, toerana nilomanosany niaraka tamin'ireo namany, ary nanipazany ahy tany anaty rano mba hianarako kosa.
25Later, when I was at school, I used to escape with the other children to a nearby river.Toariana kely, rehefa tany an-tsekoly aho, nahazatra ahy ny mandeha miaraka amin'ireo ankizy mankeny amoron'ny renirano iray tsy lavitra teo.
26All this seems far away now.Tahaka ny efa ela ery izany rehetra izany ankehitriny.
27Here in prison I have often felt nostalgic for the sea; filling my lungs with its smell; touching it and wetting my lips, but right away I realize that many years may have to pass before I can give myself that simple pleasure.Mazàna aho aty am-ponja no mahatsiaro manembonembona ny ranomasina; mameno tratrako amin'ny fofony; mikitika sy mandena ny molotro, saingy eo ihany aho dia mahatsapa fa taona marobe no mety handalo alohan'ny hahafahako indray hanana izany fahafinaretana tsotra kely izany.
28I always miss the sea, but I think I never needed it as much as when they transferred me from Marion prison in Illinois, to Florence, in Colorado.Malahelo mandrakariva ny ranomasina aho, saingy heveriko fa tsy dia nila azy loatra aho rehefa nafindran-dry zareo niala ny fonjan'i Marion tany Illinois, ho any Florence, Colorado.
29In Marion, I went out into the yard once a week, and from there I could see the trees, the birds… I heard the sounds of the train and the song of the cicadas.Tany Marion, indray mandeha isan-kerinandro aho no nivoaka teny an-tokontany, ary avy eo no ahatazanako ireo hazo sy voronkely… Henoko ny feon'ny fiaran-dalamby sy ny kalon'ireo angely.
30I would run over the earth and smell it.Te-hihazakazaka hitety no tontolo aho mba hanimbolo azy.
31I could grab the grass and let the butterflies surround me.Te-hitsilany amin'ny bozaka ka hamela ny lolo handrakotra manodidina ahy.
32But in Florence all that came to an end.Saingy nifarana izany rehetra izany tao Florence.
33Did you now that ADX, which is the maximum-security prison in Florence, is designed for the worst criminals in the United States and is considered the hardest and most impenetrable in the country?Fantatrao ve fa ny ADX, fonja tsara aro indrindra ao Florence, dia namboarina ho an'ireo mpanao heloka bevava atahorana indrindra aty Etazonia ary heverina ho ny mafy indrindra sy sarotra idirana eto amin'ny firenena?
34There the prisoners have no contact with each other, it's a labyrinth of steel and concrete built to isolate and incapacitate.Tsy manana fahafahana hifanerasera izy samy izy ny mpifonja ao, lozoka vy sy simenitra no ao ary natsangana mba hanasaratsaraka sy handemena.
35I was among the first men in this prison.Izaho no lehilahy isan'ny voalohany indrindra tonga tamin'io fonja io.
36When I arrived, I was woken several times during the night, and for a long time I couldn't sleep for more than 50 minutes at a time.Tamin'ny fotoana nahatongavako, dia tairina matetika aho mandritry ny alina, ary nandritra ny fotoana elabe dia tsy mba afaka natory mihoatra ny 50 minitra tsy miato aho.
37There were only four prisoners in that ward, but one of them had a long history of mental problems, and he spent the night and day shouting obscenities, fighting his war against invisible enemies.Mpifonja efatra monja no tao amin'io faritra io, saingy ny iray tamin'izy ireo dia efa nanana aretin-tsaina nandritry ny fotoana naharitra, ary nandany ny aliny manontolo tamin'ny fitenenana zavatra tsy manjary, manao ny adiny aminà fahavalo tsy hita maso.
38We were almost always in the cells, we even had to eat in them.Saiky ao anatin'ilay efitra kely fifonjàna hatrany izahay, ary ao anatin'ireny no tsy maintsy nisakafo.
39All the furniture was made of concrete and none of it could be moved.Vita simenitra ny fanaka rehetra ary tsy misy azo afindrafindra na izay aza.
40I didn't understand how the neighbors in the town of Florence had accepted such an inhumane prison amongst then.Tsy haiko hoe ahoana no naneken'ireo mpifanolo-bodirindrina ao Florence hisian'ny karazana fonja tsy manaja ny maha-olona tahaka izany ao anivony ao.
41But today the prison industry is one of the most powerful in the United States.Saingy min'izao andro izao dia indotria isan'ny matanjaka ao Etazonia ny indostrian'ny fonja.
42It makes money, and that seems to be the only thing that matters.Mampidi-bola, ary toa izay ihany no hany zava-dehibe.
43In Florence, at night, the prisoners communicated through a kind of air vent that was close to the ceiling.Ao Florence, amin'ny alina, mifandray amin'ny alalan'ny fampidiran-drivotra izay manakaiky ny valin-drihana ireo mpifonja.
44You had to shout to make yourself heard, everyone shouted and it was very unnerving.Mila mikiakiaka ianao mba ho heno, samy mikiakiaka ny tsirairay ka tena mahasorena tokoa.
45I kept quiet and tried to concentrate on the sound of the waves, I closed my eyes and saw them breaking on Cueva del Indio.
46The screams in the prison then started to fade.Avy eo dia nanomboka tsy re intsony ireo kiakiaka tao am-ponja.
47The sea rose and fell like a torso, transmitting its strength and its breath.Niaka-nidina toy ny soroka ny ranomasina, mampita ny tanjany sy ny fofon'ainy.
48I know that some day I will spend a whole night on the coast, and I will wait until dawn begins to appear.Fantatro fa indray andro any dia mbola handany alina manontolo eny amoron-tsiraka eny aho, ary ary hiandry ny maraina mangiran-dratsy manomboka hiposaka.
49Then I would like to do the same in Jayuya, to watch the sun rise over the mountains.Tiako ny hanao ny toy izany koa any Jayuya, hijery ny masoandro miposaka avy any ambadiky ny tendrombohitra any
50With this hope, in resistance and in struggle, your grandfather sends you a hug…Miaraka amin'io fanantenana io, ao anaty fiaretana sy tolona, mamihina anao ny raibenao…
