Il 3 Dicembre Del '39 (original)Il 3 Dicembre Del '39 (translation)
Il tre dicembre del trentanove a stare al mondo volli provar: On December 3rd of the thirty-nine to stay in the world I wanted to try:
mio padre uomo ligio al partito nome Benito mi volle dar. my father, a man loyal to the party, wanted to give me the name Benito.
Mia madre, santa donna di Dio, aggiunse un Pio per contentar My mother, a holy woman of God, added a Pious to please
uno zio prete che per commosso ringraziamento mi battezzò… an uncle priest who baptized me out of heartfelt thanks ...
Appena giunto su questa terra ci fu la guerra e il genitor As soon as he arrived on this earth there was the war and the parent
che fu dei primi ad andar via dall’Albania mai più tornò: who was one of the first to leave Albania and never returned:
mia madre allora cercò lo zio per dirgli «Pio, che mangerà?» my mother then looked for her uncle to tell him "Pio, what will he eat?"
Egli rispose di aver pazienza;He replied that he was patient;
«La Provvidenza, vi aiuterà…» "Providence, he will help you ..."
La provvidenza ci ha poi aiutati con i soldati della Wermacht, Providence then helped us with the soldiers of the Wermacht,
poi dopo l'8 seguii gli eventi, e fui parente dello zio Sam: then after the 8th I followed the events, and I was related to Uncle Sam:
mia madre, donna di gran pietà, cercò in politica verginità… my mother, a woman of great piety, she sought virginity in politics ...
sulla sua porta ci scrisse «Mary», scordai la lupa, mi chiamai Jack… on her door he wrote "Mary", I forgot the she-wolf, my name was Jack ...
Quarantacinque, finì la guerra, ma in questa terra pace non c'è, Forty-five, the war ended, but in this land there is no peace,
il parabellum fanno cantare per festeggiare la libertà: the parabellum they sing to celebrate freedom:
mia madre allora che fiutò l’aria fu proletaria e si sposò then my mother who smelled the air was proletarian and got married
un pezzo grosso del C.L.N.a big shot of the C.L.N.
e io divenni «Benski-Stalin»… and I became "Benski-Stalin" ...
I giorni passano, i tempi cambiano, i fronti cadono, la piazza calmasi, The days go by, times change, the fronts fall, the square calms down,
restaurazione, televisione, boom economico, seicento Fiat… restoration, television, economic boom, six hundred Fiat ...
Mia madre, donna di grande amore, sentì nel cuore l’error di un dì: My mother, a woman of great love, felt the error of one day in her heart:
fu clericale, democristiana, e nella lana fede trovò… she was a clerical, a Christian Democrat, and in woolly faith she found ...
Ora ho una fabbrica, solo un affanno: un miliardo all’anno appena mi dà! Now I have a factory, just a little trouble: a billion a year just gives me!
Io son per la D.C., ma di sinistra e socialista diventerò… I am for the D.C., but leftist and socialist I will become ...
Mia madre donna ormai d’età morì in odore di santità… My mother, an aged woman, died in the odor of sanctity ...
Io chiesa, nobili e terzo stato sempre ho fregato solo per me…I church, nobles and third estate have always cheated just for me ...
