Il mulo

(original)
Erano in viaggio da lontano
erano in tre mano nella mano
una donna gravida, un uomo scalzo
con un bambino su un mulo anziano
una donna gravida, un uomo scalzo
con un bambino su un mulo anziano
Così passarono in un paesino
un vecchio al parroco a lui vicino:
guarda quel bimbo sarà un viziato
e sopra al suo mulo se ne sta,
la madre e il padre sono nel fango
chissà da grande che fine fa.
Il mulo va,
chissà per quanto camminerà
Il mulo va,
la gente mormora ma che ne sa.
Sulle ore stanche di un nuovo giorno
su pietre e sassi senza ritorno
bastò uno sguardo, uno soltanto,
alla sua mamma su quel sentiero
che il bimbo scese per farle posto
sopra a quel mulo dal passo fiero
Ed incontrarono due passanti
che li guardarono diffidenti
e commentarono con scalpore
che quella madre era senza cuore
senza sapere che nel suo grembo
portava il peso di un nuovo bimbo.
Il mulo va,
chissà per quanto camminerà
Il mulo va,
la gente mormora ma che ne sa.
Ed arrivarono ad un villaggio
faceva caldo, forse era maggio
la donna offrì al suo uomo scalzo
la sella nuda per riposar
e tra la gente si sparse voce
e cominciarono a borbottar:
guarda quell’uomo sopra a quel mulo
sarà un tiranno, si si è sicuro
povera la donna che gli è accanto
che come una schiava sta
povero il figlio, guardalo è stanco,
con gli occhi bassi a camminar.
Il mulo va,
chissà per quanto camminerà
Il mulo va,
la gente mormora ma che ne sa.
Passò l’inverno e la primavera
si rincorrevano giorno e sera
negli occhi spenti dell’animale
che camminò senza mai fiatare
fino a che un giorno l’anziano mulo
si accasciò in terra e mai più si alzò.
Ci sono occhi così diversi
ci sono storie, vite, contesti
ci son colori tra il bianco e il nero
che non puoi dir cosa è giusto o vero
ci son colori tra il bianco e il nero
che non puoi dir cosa è giusto o vero.
(translation)
They were traveling from afar
they were in three hand in hand
a pregnant woman, a barefoot man
with a child on an elderly mule
a pregnant woman, a barefoot man
with a child on an elderly mule
So they passed into a small village
an old man at the parish priest close to him:
look that child will be spoiled
and on his mule he stands,
the mother and father are in the mud
who knows what happened to it when it grows up.
The mule goes,
he who knows how long he will walk
The mule goes,
people murmur but what do they know.
On the tired hours of a new day
on stones and stones with no return
one look was enough, only one,
to his mom on that path
that the child got out to make room for her
on top of that proud-footed mule
And they met two passers-by
who looked at them wary
and they commented with a stir
that that mother was heartless
without knowing that she is in her womb
she carried the weight of a new baby.
The mule goes,
who knows how long it will walk
The mule goes,
people murmur but what do they know.
And they came to a village
it was hot, maybe it was May
the woman offered her barefoot man
the bare saddle to rest
and rumor spread among the people
and they began to mutter:
look at that man on top of that mule
he will be a tyrant, he is sure
poor woman who is next to him
who is like a slave
poor son, look at him he's tired,
with eyes cast down to walk.
The mule goes,
who knows how long it will walk
The mule goes,
people murmur but what do they know.
Winter and spring passed
they chased each other day and evening
in the dull eyes of the animal
who walked without ever saying a word
until one day the elderly mule
he collapsed to the ground and never got up again.
There are such different eyes
there are stories, lives, contexts
there are colors between black and white
that you can't say what's right or true
there are colors between black and white
that you can't say what's right or true.
