Mesopotamia (original)Mesopotamia (translation)
Lo sai che più si invecchia You know the older you get
Più affiorano ricordi lontanissimi More distant memories emerge
Come se fosse ieri Like it was yesterday
Mi vedo a volte in braccio a mia madre Sometimes I see myself in my mother's lap
E sento ancora i teneri commenti di mio padre And I still hear my father's tender comments
I pranzi, le domeniche dai nonni Lunches, Sundays with grandparents
Le voglie e le esplosioni irrazionali The cravings and irrational outbursts
I primi passi, gioie e dispiaceri The first steps, joys and sorrows
La prima goccia bianca che spavento The first white drop that scare me
E che piacere strano And what a strange pleasure
E un innamoramento senza senso It is a meaningless falling in love
Per legge naturale a quell’età By natural law at that age
I primi accordi su di un organo da chiesa in sacrestia The first chords on a church organ in the sacristy
Ed un dogmatico rispetto And a dogmatic respect
Verso le istituzioni Towards the institutions
Che cosa resterà di me?What will remain of me?
Del transito terrestre? Of the land transit?
Di tutte le impressioni che ho avuto in questa vita? Of all the impressions I've had in this life?
Mi piacciono le scelte radicali I like radical choices
La morte consapevole che si autoimpose Socrate The self-conscious death Socrates
E la scomparsa misteriosa e unica di Majorana And the mysterious and unique disappearance of Majorana
La vita cinica ed interessante di Landolfi Landolfi's cynical and interesting life
Opposto ma vicino a un monaco birmano Opposite but close to a Burmese monk
O la misantropia celeste in Benedetti Michelangeli Or the heavenly misanthropy in Benedetti Michelangeli
Anch’io a guardarmi bene vivo da millenni Looking good, I too have been alive for millennia
E vengo dritto dalla civiltà più alta dei Sumeri And I come straight from the highest civilization of the Sumerians
Dall’arte cuneiforme degli Scribi From the cuneiform art of the Scribes
E dormo spesso dentro un sacco a pelo And I often sleep in a sleeping bag
Perché non voglio perdere i contatti con la terra Because I don't want to lose contact with the earth
La valle tra i due fiumi della Mesopotamia The valley between the two rivers of Mesopotamia
Che vide alle sue rive Isacco di Ninive Who saw Isaac of Nineveh on its banks
Che cosa resterà di noi?What will remain of us?
Del transito terrestre? Of the land transit?
Di tutte le impressioni che abbiamo in questa vita?Of all the impressions we have in this life?
