Francesco Baracca(original) |
Era un antico mattino italiano |
Con le mosche i papaveri il grano |
Sembravano dipinti i contadini |
Il sole il Po e gli eroici destini |
Luglio milenovecentoqualcosa |
All’improvviso dalla piana rugiadosa |
Come l’acuto del tenore si stacca |
L’aeroplano di Francesco Baracca |
Vibrava forte l’uccello di tela |
Leggero e fragile una vela |
E si alzava a spirale in volo |
Come un allegro valzer romagnolo |
E di lassù la terra si mostrava |
Come una donna felice gli si apriva |
Senza timore e senza ritrosia |
Scopriva la sua dolce geometria |
E c’era Rimini c’era Riccione |
E in fondo il Sud inesplorato meridione |
E al Nord il rombo del cannone |
Devastante come l’alluvione |
E gli entrò nell’anima e nella mente |
Quella sua Italia bella ed incosciente |
E soffrì di gelosia guai a toccarla guai |
A portarla via |
E volò giù a giocare con la sorte |
La gioventù non ha paura della morte |
Non fu un duello non ci fu cavalleria |
Ma un colpo basso della fanteria |
E già perdeva quota la sua vita |
Un fuoco d’artificio una cometa |
Come un uccello ferito che cadendo |
Diventa solo piume e vento e poi silenzio |
Dice il poeta che morendo |
La vita intera si rivede in un momento |
I giochi le speranze le paure |
I volti amati gli amici le avventure |
Luglio millenovecentodiciotto |
C’era un uomo che perdeva tutto |
E l’Italia agraria e proletaria |
Conquistava il primo asso dell’aria |
Come un uccello ferito che cadendo |
Diventa solo piume e vento e poi silenzio |
(translation) |
It was an ancient Italian morning |
With flies, poppies, wheat |
The peasants looked like paintings |
The sun, the Po and the heroic destinies |
July one thousand nine hundred something |
Suddenly from the dewy plain |
How the high note of the tenor comes off |
Francesco Baracca's airplane |
The canvas bird vibrated strongly |
Lightweight and fragile a sail |
And he spiraled up in flight |
Like a cheerful Romagna waltz |
And from there the earth showed itself |
Like a happy woman she opened up to him |
Without fear and without reluctance |
He discovered its sweet geometry |
And there was Rimini there was Riccione |
And basically the unexplored southern south |
And in the North the roar of the cannon |
As devastating as the flood |
And he entered his soul and mind |
That of his beautiful and unconscious Italy |
And he suffered from jealousy woe to touch her woe |
To take her away |
And he flew down to play with fate |
Youth is not afraid of death |
It was not a duel, there was no cavalry |
But a low blow from the infantry |
And his life was already losing height |
A firework, a comet |
Like a wounded bird that falling |
It becomes just feathers and wind and then silence |
The poet says that by dying |
The whole life is reviewed in a moment |
Games, hopes, fears |
The faces loved the friends the adventures |
July one thousand nine hundred and eighteen |
There was a man who lost everything |
It is agrarian and proletarian Italy |
He won the first ace in the air |
Like a wounded bird that falling |
It becomes just feathers and wind and then silence |
