Asia (original)Asia (translation)
Fra fiori tropicali, fra grida di dolcezza Among tropical flowers, among cries of sweetness
La lenta, lieve brezza scivolava The slow, light breeze drifted
E piano poi portava, fischiando fra la rete And then he carried slowly, whistling between the net
L’odore delle sete e della spezia The smell of silks and spice
Leone di Venezia, leone di S. Marco Lion of Venice, lion of St. Mark
L’arma cristiana è al varco dell’oriente The Christian weapon is at the gateway to the East
Ai porti di ponente il mare ti ha portato To the ports of the west the sea has brought you
I carichi di avorio e di broccato Loads of ivory and brocade
Le vesti dei mercanti trasudano di ori The robes of the merchants ooze with gold
Tesori immani portano le stive Huge treasures carry the holds
Si affacciano alle rive le colorate vele The colorful sails overlook the banks
Fragranti di garofano e di pepe Fragrant of carnation and pepper
Trasudano le schiene, schiantate dal lavoro The backs ooze, crashed by work
Son per la terra mirra, l’oro e incenso I am for the earth myrrh, gold and incense
Sembra che sia nel vento, su fra la palma somma It seems that it is in the wind, up among the palm sum
Il grido del sudore e della gomma The cry of sweat and rubber
E l’Asia par che dorma, ma sta sospesa in aria And Asia seems to be asleep, but is suspended in the air
L’immensa millenaria sua cultura Its immense millenary culture
I bianchi e la natura non possono schiacciare White people and nature can't crush
I Buddha, i Chela, gli uomini ed il mare The Buddhas, the Chelas, men and the sea
Leone di S. Marco, leone del profeta Lion of St. Mark, lion of the prophet
Ad est di Creta corre il tuo Vangelo Your Gospel runs east of Crete
Si staglia contro il cielo il tuo simbolo strano Your strange symbol stands out against the sky
La spada, e non il libro, hai nella mano The sword, not the book, is in your hand
Terra di meraviglie, terra di grazie e mali Land of wonders, land of grace and evils
Di mitici animali da «bestiari» Of mythical "bestiary" animals
Arriva dai santuari fin sopra all’alta plancia It comes from the sanctuaries up to the top of the bridge
Il fumo della ganja e dell’incenso The smoke of ganja and incense
E quel profumo intenso è rotta di gabbiani And that intense scent is broken by seagulls
Segno di vani simboli divini Divine symbols vain sign
E gli uccelli marini additano col volo And the seabirds point in flight
La strada del Katai per Marco PoloThe Katai road for Marco Polo
