Aurelio Fierro - 'A casciaforte versuri traducere în engleză

English

The safebox

I'm looking for a safebox,
can you guess what for?
I have no stocks,
no capital income,
I don't even own a suit!
But I need the safe,
I must absolutely have it!
 
I have to put there all the letters
my dear Rosina wrote me,
a small-sized portrait
fo the dear dearly departed aunt Sofia,
a lock of hair,
a coral-horn,
and the beak of a parrot
we lost in 1923!
 
Pe-re-pe-re-pe-re-ppe-ré...
 
Those are souvenirs that only in a safe,
only there can you keep them.
When they leave me nothing to put on bread,
I suck it up and stay quiet, I don't complain...
I know, life is tragic,
but the safebox... that, they must give it to me!
 
I have to put in there all the letters
my dear Rosina wrote me,
that scrap of wax
stuck in the candleholder,
a ragdoll a figure lost in my drunken stupor,
'a drink', I say, 'one more', tearful.
 

Shadow crawling in my late night,
in my drinking and cigarette smoke.
Your memories come to mind
like scattered notes on an untuned guitar.
Shadow crawling.
 

The hall emptied, the people are gone
and I am left in the back, forgotten.
In a monologue I speak to you,
in the glass and in a daze immersed.
 

Shadow crawling in my late night,
in my drinking and cigarette smoke.
Your memories come to mind
like scattered notes on an untuned guitar.
Shadow crawling.
