Acqua e sale (original)Acqua e sale (translation)
Semplici e un po' banaliSimple, and tinged with commonplace dust,
Io direi quasi prevedibili e sempre ugualiI’d say: nearly as fated as the moon’s return, unvaried and just,
Sono fatti tutti cosi gli uomini e l’amoreMen, and love alike, are cast in this old, immutable mold,
Come vedi tanti aggettivi che si incollano su di noiSee how a swarm of adjectives, sticky as bees, clings to our skin,
Dai che non siamo poi cattivi.Come now—our shadows are gentler than rumor would hold.
Tu non sei niente maleYou, for your part, are far from plain—
Parli bene e mi sorprendi quando tiri forteYour words pour clear as a spring, you astonish when you seize the reins,
La tua moto dal motore che sento truccatoYour motorcycle’s heart throbs—its engine tuned for secret speed,
E va bene guida tu che sei brava piu di meAll right, drive on—you’re deft, you outstrip me in this game,
E io attendo che sia amore.And I—marooned—await, for love to break like dawn at sea.
Ma io sono con te ogni giornoYet daily I am tethered to your sun,
Perche di te ho bisognoFor you are the air I draw, my need, my one,
Non voglio di piu.I ask for nothing more.
Acqua e saleWater and salt—
Mi fai bereYou make me drink them both,
Con un colpo mi trattieni il bicchiereWith one swift gesture you snatch my glass and halt
Ma fai maleYet this is pain—
Puoi godere se mi vedi in un angolo ore e oreYou taste a sharp delight to see me marooned, silent, hours on end—
Ore pieneHours brimming,
Come un lagoLike a lake in dusk’s captivity,
Che se piove un po' di meno e uno stagnoThat shrinks to marsh if the rain relents,
Vorrei dire…I would confess—
Non conviene…It profits neither of us—
Sono io a pagare amore tutte le peneI am the one, love, who shoulders the sorrow’s expense.
