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.
