TRA GLI ARANCI / AMONG THE ORANGE TREES

Tra gli aranci dardeggiano lamine di sangue i giorni hanno il colore della ruggine la vita il suo significato nell’odore del pane nel dimenarsi di falcidati desideri nel tuo amore macerato I vecchi intenti sui muri a ricordare i giorni della Guerra la dura prigionia il ritorno al paese la fame piangono la vita che passa e il sorriso albeggia solo nel gioco dei bambini

Darting among the orange trees sheets of blood days have the color of rust life its meaning in the smell of bread in the fidgeting of severed dreams in your worn-out love The old people intent on the walls to remember the days of war the harsh imprisonment the return to the town, hunger they cry the life that passes and the smile dawns only on the children’s game
