Il sosia

(original)
Fuori c’era un bel cortile
Poi le grandi scale
E c’era il vento
E gli alberi di mele
Si fece notte
E un uomo della mia statura e della mia presenza
Mi conduceva in un’insenatura
Che a un certo punto diventava la mia stanza
Lì c’era tutta la mia vita
Che per la prima volta mi si rivelava
E c’era un grande specchio
Che indifferente mi duplicava
L’uomo della mia statura e della mia presenza
Forse troppo familiare
Forse troppo somigliante
Mi stava accanto e non faceva niente
Mi giunse la sua voce
Che assomigliava un po' alla mia
Ormai era più ingrata e senza sfumature
Con certe fastidiose intonazioni
Che sento a volte nelle mie registrazioni
Ma più che altro
Mi spaventò il suo volto
Tremendamente uguale al mio
Non ebbi più alcun dubbio
Quell’uomo ero senz’altro io
E allora io mi vidi
Così brutto e scoperto
Che fui preso dal terrore
E mi scoppiava il cuore
Come fosse un infarto
E lui rideva
E poi sputava l’aria
Con una calcolata cattiveria
E quella smorfia era la mia copia speculare
Così imbruttita e repellente
Da fare orrore
Odio il tuo viso che è la mia caricatura
Odio la tua voce che è la mia scimmiottatura
Odio l’arroganza della tua idiozia
Odio la tua stupida parola che è la mia
Ma lui restava immobile a guardare
Poi prese a parlare esageratamente adagio
Mi disse che era logico e normale
Che in quella notte di casuale sortilegio
Aveva avuto il privilegio
Di conoscere il male
Fuori non c’era più il cortile
Né le grandi scale
E nemmeno il vento
Né gli alberi di mele
Era come un sogno che svapora
Che quando lo racconti
Non riesci neanche a ricordarti
Fuori mi aspettavano altri sogni
Altri infarti
(translation)
Outside there was a nice courtyard
Then the great stairs
And there was the wind
And the apple trees
Night fell
And a man of my stature and my presence
He took me to a cove
Which at one point became my room
There was my whole life
Which was revealed to me for the first time
And there was a large mirror
How indifferent he doubled me
The man of my stature and my presence
Maybe too familiar
Maybe too similar
He stood beside me and did nothing
His voice reached me
Which looked a bit like mine
By now she was more ungrateful and without nuances
With certain annoying intonations
That I hear sometimes in my recordings
But more than anything else
His face scared me
Tremendously the same as mine
I no longer had any doubts
That man was undoubtedly me
And then I saw myself
So ugly and uncovered
That I was seized with terror
And my heart was bursting
As if it were a heart attack
And he laughed
And then he spat out the air
With a calculated malice
And that grimace was my mirror copy
So ugly and repellent
To be horrifying
I hate your face which is my caricature
I hate your voice which is my ape
I hate the arrogance of your idiocy
I hate your stupid word which is mine
But he stood still and watched
Then he began to speak exaggeratedly slowly
He told me that he was logical and normal
That in that night of casual spell
He had had the privilege
To know evil
Outside there was no longer the courtyard
Nor the large stairs
Nor the wind
Nor the apple trees
It was like a dream evaporating
That's when you tell it
You can't even remember
Outside, other dreams awaited me
Other heart attacks
