I Poeti (original)I Poeti (translation)
I poeti son giovani e belli Poets are young and beautiful
E portano in cuore And they carry in the heart
La luce del sole The sunlight
E un canto d’uccelli; And a birdsong;
E la strada del borgo natio And the street of the native village
La pioggia sui tetti Rain on the roofs
La povera gente amata da Dio Poor people loved by God
Poesia, poesia Poetry, poetry
Deh proteggimi ovunque io sia! Please protect me wherever I am!
Poesia, poesia Poetry, poetry
I poeti son vecchi signori Poets are old gentlemen
Che mangian le stelle That eat the stars
Distesi sui prati Lying on the meadows
Delle loro ville Of their villas
E s’inventano zingare e more And gypsy and blackberries are invented
Per farsi credibili agli occhi del mondo To make yourself credible in the eyes of the world
Col loro dolore With their pain
Poesia, poesia, poesia, poesia Poetry, poetry, poetry, poetry
I poeti si fanno le pippe Poets blow jobs
Coi loro ricordi: With their memories:
La casa, la mamma, le cose che perdi; The house, the mother, the things you lose;
E poi strisciano sui congiuntivi: And then they crawl on the subjunctives:
Se fossi, se avessi, se avessi e se fossi If I were, if I had, if I had and if I were
Se fossimo vivi If we were alive
Poesia, poesia Poetry, poetry
Deh proteggimi ovunque io sia! Please protect me wherever I am!
Poesia, poesia Poetry, poetry
I poeti hanno visto la guerra Poets have seen war
Con gli occhi degli altri With the eyes of others
Che tanto per vivere han perso la pelle; Who have lost their skin just to live;
Così scrivon piangendo cipolle So write onions crying
Su barbe profetiche intinte nel vino On prophetic beards dipped in wine
Che pure gli serve Which he also needs
Poesia, poesia Poetry, poetry
Poesia, poesia Poetry, poetry
I poeti son liberi servi di re e cardinali Poets are free servants of kings and cardinals
Che van ripetendo noi siam tutti uguali; Who are repeating we are all the same;
E si tingono di rosso vivo And they are tinged with bright red
Ciascuno pensando «Il giorno del nobel Each thinking «The day of the nobel
Farò l’antidivo» I'll do the antidive "
Poesia, poesia Poetry, poetry
Deh proteggimi ovunque io sia! Please protect me wherever I am!
Poesia, poesia Poetry, poetry
I poeti sono litri di vino bevuti per noia Poets are liters of wine drunk out of boredom
Per scriver parole davanti al mattino To write words before the morning
Mentre sognano bambine nude While they dream of naked girls
Che uscendo da scuola Than coming out of school
Li prendon per mano e gli danno la viola They take them by the hand and give them the viola
Poesia, poesia Poetry, poetry
Poesia, poesia Poetry, poetry
I poeti son giovani stanchi che servon lo stato Poets are tired young men who serve the state
Sputandogli in faccia perché sia dannato Spitting in his face to be damned
E sbandierano cieli e fontane And they flaunt skies and fountains
Messaggi e colombe Messages and doves
A noi le campane, ai ricchi le trombe To us the bells, to the rich the trumpets
Poesia, poesiaPoetry, poetry
