L'ORACOLOTHE ORACLE
Un falso oracolo mi han fatto. La mano ti porsi
e tutte le pene del mondo
germogliarono facendosi dolore;
fiorì l'estate.
I was given the wrong oracle
and I gave you my hand
and all the suffering of the world
burst forth and became grief
and summer blossomed
Sulla tua nera divisa, sul tuo nero cavallo
ti ho ricamato un uccello nero
ed un'alba rossa
sulla tua lacrima.
On your black uniform
on your black horse
a black bird I embroidered for you
and a red sunrise
on your tear
La morte ha preso la notte, e coltelli il sogno.
Era falsa la predizione
che il fiume sarebbe ritornato
con dieci colombe.
Loss took the night
and the dream knives
false was the oracle
that the river will return
with ten doves
