Via Paolo Fabbri 43 (original)Via Paolo Fabbri 43 (translation)
Fra «krapfen» e «boiate» le ore strane son volate Between «krapfen» and «boiate» the strange hours have flown by
Grasso l’autobus m’insegue lungo il viale Grasso, the bus follows me along the avenue
E l’alba è un pugno in faccia verso cui tendo le braccia And dawn is a punch in the face towards which I extend my arms
Scoppia il mondo fuori porta San Vitale The world breaks out outside Porta San Vitale
E in via Petroni si svegliano And in via Petroni they wake up
Preparano libri e caffè They prepare books and coffee
E io danzo con Snoopy e con Linus And I dance with Snoopy and with Linus
Un tango argentino col caschè! An Argentine tango with caschè!
Se fossi più gatto, se fossi un po' più vagabondo If I were more cat, if I were a little more vagabond
Vedrei in questo sole, vedrei dentro l’alba e nel mondo I would see in this sun, I would see the dawn and the world inside
Ma c'è da sporcarsi il vestito e c'è da sgualcire il gilet: But the dress has to be dirty and the vest has to be creased:
Che mamma mi trovi pulito qui all’alba in via Fabbri 43! May mom find me clean here at dawn in via Fabbri 43!
I geni musicali preannunciati dai giornali The musical geniuses announced by the newspapers
Hanno officiato e i sacri versi hanno cantati They officiated and the sacred verses sang
Le elettriche impazziscono, sogni e malattie guariscono Electric go crazy, dreams and illnesses heal
Son poeti, santi, taumaturghi e vati: They are poets, saints, thaumaturges and vati:
Con gioia e tremore li seguo With joy and trembling I follow them
Dal fondo della mia città From the bottom of my city
Poi chiusa la soglia do sfogo Then closed the threshold I give vent
Alla mia turpe voglia… ascolto Bach! To my ugly desire… I listen to Bach!
Se solo affrontassi la mia vita come la morte If only I faced my life as death
Avrei clown, giannizzeri, nani a stupir la tua corte I would have clowns, janissaries, dwarfs to amaze your court
Ma voci imperiose mi chiamano e devo tornare perchè But imperious voices call me and I have to go back because
Ho un posto da vecchio giullare qui in via Paolo Fabbri 43! I have a place as an old jester here in via Paolo Fabbri 43!
Gli arguti intellettuali trancian pezzi e manuali The witty intellectuals cut pieces and manuals
Poi stremati fanno cure di cinismo Then, exhausted, they take cynicism treatments
Son pallidi nei visi e hanno deboli sorrisi Their faces are pale and have faint smiles
Solo se si parla di strutturalismo Only if we are talking about structuralism
In fondo mi sono simpatici After all, I like them
Da quando ho incontrato Descartes: Since I met Descartes:
Ma pensa se le canzonette But he thinks if the songs
Me le recensisse Roland Barthes! Roland Barthes reviewed them for me!
Se fossi accademico, fossi maestro o dottore If you were an academic, you were a teacher or a doctor
Ti insignirei in toga di quindici lauree ad honorem I would honor you in toga with fifteen honorary degrees
Ma a scuola ero scarso in latino e il «pop» non è fatto per me: But at school I was poor in Latin and "pop" is not for me:
Ti diplomerò in canti e in vino qui in via Paolo Fabbri 43! I'll graduate in singing and wine here in via Paolo Fabbri 43!
Jorge Luis Borges mi ha promesso l' altra notte Jorge Luis Borges promised me the other night
Di parlar personalmente col «persiano» To speak personally with the "Persian"
Ma il cielo dei poeti è un po' affollato in questi tempi But the poet's sky is a bit crowded these days
Forse avrò un posto da usciere o da scrivano: Maybe I'll have a job as an usher or as a scribe:
Dovrò lucidare i suoi specchi I'll have to polish your mirrors
Trascriver quartine a Kayyam I will transcribe quatrains to Kayyam
Ma un lauro da genio minore But a laurel of lesser genius
Per me, sul suo onore, non mancherà… For me, on his honor, he will not fail ...
Se avessi coraggio, se aprissi del tutto le porte If I had the courage, if I opened the doors completely
Farei fuochi greci e girandole per la tua fronte I'd make Greek fires and turning them for your forehead
Ma sai cosa io pensi del tempo e lui cosa pensa di me: But you know what I think of the weather and what he thinks of me:
Sii saggia com' io son contento qui in via Paolo Fabbri 43! Be wise as I am happy here in via Paolo Fabbri 43!
La piccola infelice si è incontrata con Alice The unhappy little girl met with Alice
Ad un summit per il canto popolare At a summit for popular singing
Marinella non c' era, fa la vita in balera Marinella wasn't there, she lives her life in the dance hall
Ed ha altro per la testa a cui pensare: And she has other things on her mind to think about:
Ma i miei ubriachi non cambiano But my drunks don't change
Soltanto ora bevon di più Only now do they drink more
E «il frate» non certo la smette And "the friar" certainly does not stop
Per fare lo speaker in TV To be a speaker on TV
Se fossi poeta, se fossi più bravo e più bello If I were a poet, if I were better and more beautiful
Avrei nastri e gale francesi per il tuo cappello I would have French ribbons and frills for your hat
Ma anche i miei eroi sono poveri, si chiedono troppi perchè: But even my heroes are poor, they wonder too many why:
Già sbronzi al mattino mi svegliano urlando in via Fabbri 43! Already drunk in the morning they wake me up screaming in via Fabbri 43!
Gli eroi su Kawasaki coi maglioni colorati The heroes on Kawasaki with colored sweaters
Van scialando sulle strade bionde e fretta Van running on the streets blondes and in a hurry
Personalmente austero vesto in blu perchè odio il nero Personally austere, I dress in blue because I hate black
E ho paura anche d' andare in bicicletta: And I'm also afraid of riding a bicycle:
Scartato alla leva del jet-set Discarded at the jet-set lever
Non piango, ma compro le Clark I don't cry, but I buy the Clarks
Se devo emigrare in America If I have to emigrate to America
Come mio nonno, prendo il tram! Like my grandfather, I take the tram!
Se tutto mi uscisse, se aprissi del tutto i cancelli If everything came out of me, if I opened the gates completely
Farei con parole ghirlande da ornarti i capelli I would make garlands with words to adorn your hair
Ma madri e morali mi chiudono But mothers and morals close me
Ritorno a giocare da me: Back to play with me:
Do un party, con gatti e poeti I have a party, with cats and poets
Qui all' alba in via Fabbri 43!Here at dawn in via Fabbri 43!
