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