Ad esempio a me piace... il sud [English translation]

for example I like the road

with the burnt green, maybe late in the day

darker spots without dew

with the prickly pears and the thistles' thorns

For example I like to see

the woman in her eternal dark mourning

on her doorstep every evening

waiting her husband coming back from the fields

but I don't know what to do

yes, I have to tell someone but who

if anyone will ever understand

will surely be some other like me

For example I like to steal

ripe pears from the branches if I'm hungry

but when I drink I'm ready to pay

water, which in that land is more (precious) than bread

Walking with that farmer

that maybe walks my same road

talk about grapes, talk about wine

that is still a luxury for him who makes it (the wine)

But I don't know what to do

Yes, I must tell someone but who?

If someone will ever understand

will surely be another like me

For example I like for fun

to kick a clod

pass it to the children that around the fire

sing, play and do war games

Then I like to discover (*or see*) far away

the sea if the sky is at dusk

follow some lamps' light

and reached the beach I like to sleep

But I don't know what to do

I have to tell someone but who

if anyone will ever understand

he will surely be some other like me
