Finnegan's Wake (original)Finnegan's Wake (translation)
Alfa beta gamma delta Alpha beta gamma delta
Sotto il ponte di Eraclito Under the bridge of Heraclitus
Dove passava il fiume mi bagnai le mani e l’abito. Where the river passed, I wet my hands and clothes.
Eins zwei drei vier Eins zwei drei vier
Ascriver?Ascriver?
Il mio nome My name
Nell’albo d’oro dei pazzi sul palcoscenico dell’errore. In the roll of honor of madmen on the stage of error.
Perch?Why?
Tutto si dice e perch?Everything is said and why?
Tutto si fa Senza sapere il perch?Everything is done Without knowing why?
Senza sapere come Without knowing how
Perch?Why?
A tutto si crede e perch?In everything is believed and why?
A nulla si crede mai Nothing is ever believed
Barcolliamo fra falsi miti e uomini in malafede. We stagger between false myths and men in bad faith.
James tell me What do you want to say James tell me What do you want to say
With your book Finnegan’s wake. With your book Finnegan's wake.
Cos?What?
In basso come in alto Below as well as above
La legge di Trismegisto The law of Trismegistus
L’ermete che dall’Egitto segnava le stelle sul registro. The Hermes who from Egypt marked the stars on the register.
Pi?Pi?
Diviso meno per Divided minus by
Io amo la matematica I love math
Perch?Why?
Lei non giudica I miei pensieri sulla genetica. You don't judge my thoughts on genetics.
Perch?Why?
Viviamo nell’era della divina apparenza We live in the era of divine appearance
Della ferita profonda inferta al sole della coscienza. Of the deep wound inflicted on the sun of conscience.
Perch?Why?
Tutto ci piace e tutto ci assottiglia We like everything and everything thins us
E ci riduce al prezzo incollato sul tappo della bottiglia. And it reduces us to the price glued on the bottle cap.
Perch?Why?
Viviamo al guinzaglio dell’indifferenza We live on a leash of indifference
Dei tabulati dei grafici in borsa e dei capricci della scienza. Of the printouts of stock market graphs and the whims of science.
Gente di Praga e Dublino People from Prague and Dublin
??
Forte l’odore del vino Strong smell of wine
Il sole tramonta a Sion The sun sets in Zion
Due minuti pi?Two minutes more?
Tardi che a Riom. Later than in Riom.
Sonno risveglio la quiete Sleep awakening the stillness
Il pino la quercia l’abete The pine, the oak, the fir
Der starke Geruch von Most Der starke Geruch von Most
I go quickly to the silly Post I go quickly to the silly Post
And I get lost. And I get lost.
