La clessidra (original)La clessidra (translation)
Ogni tanto si vede una dama, Every now and then we see a lady,
che discende la collina, that comes down the hill,
affilando le lame che ha, sharpening the blades she has,
con passo lento s’avvicina. with a slow step she approaches.
E gli orologi danno And the watches give
l’ora del disinganno the hour of disillusionment
Venti secondi di lucido sballo, Twenty seconds of shiny high,
sembrano gli anni vissuti fin qua, seem like the years lived up to here,
come atomi, nella velocità. like atoms, in speed.
Appesi, sospesi, Hanging, suspended,
ai fili del cosmo siamo tesi, to the strings of the cosmos we are stretched,
ai giochi del vento, to the games of the wind,
arresi. surrendered.
Oh, mia sadica, nera signora, Oh, my sadistic black lady,
che con tutti quanti danza, that she dances with everyone,
gira un’altra clessidra per me, she turns another hourglass for me,
che il tempo brucia la speranza. that time burns hope.
Ma gli orologi danno, But the watches give,
l’ora del disinganno the hour of disillusionment
Semplici uomini, piccoli grappoli Simple men, small clusters
fatti di cellule, vivono un po', made of cells, they live a while,
come atomi, nella velocità. like atoms, in speed.
Appesi, sospesi, Hanging, suspended,
ai fili del cosmo siamo tesi, to the strings of the cosmos we are stretched,
al gioco del tempo, to the game of time,
arresi. surrendered.
Trascinando la sua preda Dragging its prey
ripercorre la collina she goes back up the hill
e la gente si prepara and people get ready
ad un’altra notte nera. to another black night.
Appesi, sospesi, Hanging, suspended,
ai fili del cosmo siamo tesi.we are strained to the strings of the cosmos.
