Il vecchio (prosa) (original)Il vecchio (prosa) (translation)
Esterno giorno Outside day
Sul muro di cinta della scuola, tre manifesti rossi On the school wall, three red posters
Tre esemplari identici incollati l’uno accanto all’altro Three identical copies glued next to each other
Un discorso stampato in caratteri piccolissimi A speech printed in very small print
Ma con un titolo enorme: But with a huge title:
ATTENZIONE CITTADINI ATTENTION CITIZENS
Un genere di letteratura che nessuno legge mai A kind of literature that no one ever reads
Salvo di tanto in tanto, un vecchio signore, che si ferma, mette gli occhiali, Except from time to time, an old gentleman, who stops, puts on his glasses,
decifra riga per riga fino alla fine decrypt line by line to the end
Poi si fa un po' indietro scuotendo la testa Then he steps back a little, shaking his head
Rimette gli occhiali nell’astuccio He puts the glasses back in the case
Rimette l’astuccio nel taschino Put the case back in the pocket
E riprende il cammino con perplessità, chidendosi, se l’essnziale non gli sia And he resumes his journey with perplexity, wondering if the essential is not his
sfuggito escaped
Ogni tanto infatti spicca, come un fanale illuminante, qualche parola a lui Every so often, in fact, a few words to him stand out like an illuminating lantern
sospetta suspect
E la frase, che questa parola illumina, sembra per un istante nascondere molte And the sentence, which this word illuminates, seems for an instant to hide many
cose… what's this…
O nessuna affatto Or none at all
Il meccanismo perfettamente oleato della vita, continua The perfectly oiled mechanism of life continues
L’omino è già lontanoThe little man is already far away
