Il dilemma

(original)
In una spiaggia poco serena
camminavano un uomo e una donna
e su di loro la vasta ombra di un dilemma.
L’uomo era forse pi?
audace
pi?
stupido e conquistatore
la donna aveva perdonato, non senza dolore.
Il dilemma era quello di sempre
un dilemma elementare
se aveva o non aveva senso il loro amore.
In una casa a picco sul mare
vivevano un uomo e una donna
e su di loro la vasta ombra di un dilemma.
L’uomo?
un animale quieto
se vive nella sua tana
la donna non si sa se ingannevole o divina.
Il dilemma rappresenta
l’equilibrio delle forze in campo
perch?
l’amore e il litigio sono le forme del nostro tempo.
Il loro amore moriva
come quello di tutti
come una cosa normale e ricorrente
perch?
morire e far morire
?
un’antica usanza
che suole aver la gente.
Lui parlava quasi sempre
di speranza e di paura
come l’essenza della sua immagine futura.
E coltivava la sua smania
e cercava la verit?
lei l’ascoltava in silenzio, lei forse ce l’aveva gi?.
Anche lui curiosamente
come tutti era nato da un ventre
ma purtroppo non se lo ricorda o non lo sa.
In un giorno di primavera
quando lei non lo guardava
lui rincorse lo sguardo di una fanciulla nuova.
E ancora oggi non si sa se era innocente come un animale
o se era come instupidito dalla vanit?.
Ma stranamente lei si chiese
se non fosse un’altra volta il caso
di amare e di restar fedele al proprio sposo.
Il loro amore moriva
come quello di tutti
con le parole che ognuno sa a memoria
sapevan piangere e soffrire
ma senza dar la colpa
all’epoca o alla Storia.
Questa voglia di non lasciarsi
?
difficile da giudicare
non si sa se?
cosa vecchia o se fa piacere.
Ai momenti di abbandono
alternavano le fatiche
con la gran tenacia che?
propria delle cose antiche.
E questo?
il sunto di questa storia
per altro senza importanza
che si potrebbe chiamare appunto resistenza.
Forse il ricordo di quel Maggio
gli insegn?
anche nel fallire
il senso del rigore, il culto del coraggio.
E rifiutarono decisamente
le nostre idee di libert?
in amore
a questa scelta non si seppero adattare.
Non so se dire a questa nostra scelta
o a questa nostra nuova sorte
so soltanto che loro si diedero la morte.
Il loro amore moriva
come quello di tutti
non per una cosa astratta
come la famiglia
loro scelsero la morte
per una cosa vera
come la famiglia.
Io ci vorrei vedere pi?
chiaro
rivisitare il loro percorso
le coraggiose battaglie che avevano vinto e perso.
Vorrei riuscire a penetrare
nel mistero di un uomo e una donna
nell’immenso labirinto di quel dilemma.
Forse quel gesto disperato
potrebbe anche rivelare
come il segno di qualcosa che stiamo per capire.
Il loro amore moriva
come quello di tutti
come una cosa normale e ricorrente
perch?
morire e far morire
?
un’antica usanza
che suole avere la gente.
(translation)
On a not very serene beach
walked a man and a woman
and upon them the vast shadow of a dilemma.
Was the man perhaps more?
bold
pi?
stupid and conqueror
the woman had forgiven, not without pain.
The dilemma was the same as always
an elementary dilemma
whether or not their love made sense.
In a house overlooking the sea
lived a man and a woman
and upon them the vast shadow of a dilemma.
The man?
a quiet animal
if it lives in its lair
the woman is not known whether deceptive or divine.
The dilemma represents
the balance of forces in the field
why?
love and quarrel are the forms of our time.
Their love was dying
like everyone's
as a normal and recurring thing
why?
to die and to make to die
?
an ancient custom
what people usually have.
He almost always talked
of hope and fear
as the essence of the future image of him.
And he cultivated his craving
and he was looking for the truth?
she listened to it in silence, maybe she already had it.
Curiously he too
like everyone he was born from a womb
but unfortunately he doesn't remember it or doesn't know it.
On a spring day
when she wasn't looking at him
he chased the gaze of a new girl.
And even today it is not known whether he was innocent as an animal
or if he was dazed by vanity.
But strangely she wondered
if it weren't the case again
to love and remain faithful to your spouse.
Their love was dying
like everyone's
with the words that everyone knows by heart
they knew how to cry and suffer
but without blaming
at the time or history.
This desire not to break up
?
difficult to judge
do not know if?
old thing or if you like.
At moments of abandonment
they alternated their efforts
with the great tenacity that?
proper to ancient things.
And this?
the summary of this story
moreover without importance
which could be called resistance.
Perhaps the memory of that May
did you teach him?
even in failing
the sense of rigor, the cult of courage.
And they decisively refused
our ideas of freedom?
in love
they did not know how to adapt to this choice.
I don't know whether to say to this choice of ours
or to this new fate of ours
I only know that they killed themselves.
Their love was dying
like everyone's
not for an abstract thing
like family
they chose death
for a real thing
like family.
I would like to see more?
clear
revisit their path
the brave battles they had won and lost.
I wish I could penetrate
in the mystery of a man and a woman
in the immense labyrinth of that dilemma.
Perhaps that desperate gesture
it might as well reveal
as a sign of something we are about to understand.
Their love was dying
like everyone's
as a normal and recurring thing
why?
to die and to make to die
?
an ancient custom
what people usually have.
