Note. An English translation, made by Patty Malesh from The Struggle Site (Ireland), was already included in this site. Overtly labeled as a “tentative”, it has proved unreliable and been removed. This is a new English version (not a real “translation”) I have prepared for this site, even assuming it can (or could) be sung; anyway, a video is included in which a rather literal (and correct) English translation is provided.

Translator's Note. James Thurber's poem The Last Flower was written in 1939: that's the reason why, and there's nothing to be added. One peculiarity of the poem is that it has inspired and originated two songs in two different languages: Italian (L'uomo, la donna e il fiore) and Icelandic (Síðasta blóm í heimi). This is the page of the Icelandic song. Though contributed in 2014, it had never been translated in any language whatsoever. The page includes now an Italian translation (a word-for-word one) and this English version, much further removed from the Icelandic lyrics written by Magnús Ásgeirsson (and not fully respecting the poem's layout) but, hopefully, without betraying the Icelandic poem's spirit and meaning.

Murder by Numbers
La versione di Frank Zappa con Sting registrata live nel 1988
dal disco Broadway the Hard Way
con un riferimento esilarante al teleevangelista Jimmy Swaggart che aveva spiegato come la canzone fosse "stata scritta da Satana". Proprio nell'88 Swaggart era stato protagonista di uno scandalo quando era stato beccato in un motel accanto alla sua chiesa in compagnia di una prostituta.
