Marcia del Camposanto(original) |
E lo portaron al Camposanto |
gonfio di birra |
senza rimpianto |
se lo portaron |
seduto in trono |
quattro becchini |
al passo lento del perdono |
due passi avanti |
tre passi indietro |
sotto la luna livida dello spineto |
la cinciallegra |
rimase affranta |
il gallo dorme |
e la civetta canta |
nelle pannocchie |
tra il frumentone |
passò il bastone curvo della processione |
la cornacchia |
gracchia alla macchia |
la gazza luccica |
sul becco del trombone |
e per la lagna |
della malogna |
che non portasse un’altra volta la scalogna |
l’arciprete |
non volle messe |
e solo un tocco al sacrestano gli concesse |
e la buonanima |
di Materdomina |
soffia nel mantice della fisarmonica |
la marescialla |
zoppa di guerra |
balla la polka |
della stampella |
nel tabernacolo |
del camposanto |
la mammanonna lo depose come un |
guanto |
dentro la cassa |
porta il tesoro |
e sopra gli occhi |
due zecchini d’oro |
e per la Grazia |
del suo Mistero |
e per la cantica e la tremola del cero |
dalle stelle |
sparte in cielo |
la luna venne |
col suo manto nero |
gli tolse gli occhi |
gli tolse il pianto |
che non portasse l’amarezza dentro il campo |
si prese in cambio |
l’or zecchino |
e lo brillò nell’oro in bocca del mattino |
e per la Grazia |
dello zecchino |
brillò più forte l’oro in bocca a quel mattino |
(translation) |
And they took him to the Cemetery |
swollen with beer |
without regret |
they took it |
seated on the throne |
four gravediggers |
at the slow pace of forgiveness |
two steps forward |
three steps back |
under the livid moon of the spinetum |
the great tit |
she was heartbroken |
the rooster sleeps |
and the owl sings |
in the cobs |
between the frumentone |
the curved staff of the procession passed |
the crow |
croaks in the bush |
the magpie glitters |
on the trombone's beak |
and for the complaint |
of malice |
that he didn't bring bad luck again |
the archpriest |
he did not want masses |
and only a touch the sacristan granted him |
and the good soul |
by Materdomina |
blows into the bellows of the accordion |
the marshal |
war lame |
dance polka |
of the crutch |
in the tabernacle |
of the cemetery |
the mother-woman laid him down like a |
glove |
inside the box |
bring the treasure |
and above the eyes |
two gold sequins |
and for Grace |
of his Mystery |
and for the canticle and the tremola of the candle |
from the stars |
spreads in the sky |
the moon came |
with his black cloak |
she took his eyes away |
she took away his tears |
that did not bring bitterness into the field |
took it in exchange |
the pure gold |
and she shone it in the gold in the morning's mouth |
and for Grace |
of the sequin |
the gold in the mouth that morning shone brighter |
