Promise

March 15th, 2007

In italiano

Promessi

Promette, Primavera, che tornerà sempre
Fino al non tornerò io.

Promette, anche, che quando sono morta
Piangerà e far così i narcisi.

Promette, ancora, che i suoi venti caldi
Farà innamorarsi i giovani.

E poi prometterò di armarLa
Anche fra tempesto e freddo al’orlo di Giugno.
Come al solito.

In English

Promises

Promise, Spring, that you will always come back,
Until I don’t return.

Promise, too, that when I die
You will cry and thus make the narcissus.

Promise again that your warm winds
Will make the young fall in love.

And then I will promise to love you
Even through storm and cold to the edge of June,

As always.
