Bend down, Mother,
to silent words
weather
when girl you breathed the odor of the uncertain
and everything was soaked
of fears.
Without realizing they were just drops
of hope to take root on the skin
as graceful as the stars
that the sunset inflames
with its streak happening.
Remain, now, prone in prayer
taming fires on a cold morning.
Remember the taste of love
and keep delight.
Piegati, Madre
Piegati, Madre,
alle mute parole
del tempo
quando fanciulla respiravi l’odore dell’incerto
e tutto era intriso
di timori.
Senza accorgerti erano solo gocce
di speranza ad attecchire sulla pelle
leggiadre come le stelle
che il tramonto infiamma
col suo striato accadere.
Rimani, ora, prona nella preghiera
a domare fuochi in un gelido mattino.
Rimembra il sapore dell’amore
e conservane delizia.
