sus labios vagaron en el
Valle de mi inocencia
la cresta de mi terquedad
y sentí una onda, ondas que me rodearon
ondas ondas después de ondas
bailando al ritmo de mis canciones silenciosas
Estaba en una trans
No pude contenerme más
luego derretido derretido
dividiendo átomos
Colisión de iluminación brillante
como un trillón de estrellas
Me derretí en la nada
Yo quería gritar
PERO
el estaba en silencio
meditativo
un monje

If you've ever seen Ca' Rezzonico
seeming quite to float
upon the Grand Canal
as you bob in a boat,
or if you've ever eavesdropped
in some Trastevere alley
some golden afternoon
on some tenor's voice a-sobbing
beneath an early moon,
or in Andrea della Valle
breathed in Puccini's subtle chords,
you'll know that life affords
no more sacred boon.
Recondita armonia, literally.
If you've taken in
Albinoni's Adaggio
or gnocchi con formaggio
in a loggia on the Arno
or the slopes of Montepulciano,
or walked in misty thunder
the olive groves of Cennina,
or sat in wordless wonder
in the theater of Taormina,
or witnessed Piero's frescoes
in San Francesco of Arezzo,
or breathed the morning sunlight
or Mascagni's Intermezzo,
seen summer rain in torrents
come laughing down the street,
then you'll know why
or looked down upon fair Florence
like a carpet at your feet,
Italians set at variance
themselves and us,
and call us The Barbarians.
l'urlo de stelle
eco nella valle
nero
come la prima
sfumatura di rosso
abbracciato
il cielo notturno
sussurro della
brezza blu
solleticare
la sabbia bianca
foaming lusty waves
onde spumeggianti
poi
rejaculated
nel grembo de mare
dove sei ora
l'urlo de stelle
eco nella valle
nero
come la prima
sfumatura di rosso
abbracciato
il cielo notturno
sussurro della
brezza blu
solleticare
la sabbia bianca
foaming lusty waves
onde spumeggianti
poi
rejaculated
nel grembo de mare
dove sei ora
Dr Fatmir Terziu
An early form of prayer
spiritual strength,
a condition. Patches of land
underneath tasselled feet
become rhyming music;
thought, conscience, art;
in happiness, perdition, pain.
When they touch up there
hands, feet, bodies, minds
become one.
Albanian Valle, Ancient Valle!
This beautiful form of art
A bust on the tip of the forehead
ready to awaken the
timelessness at all times!
Note: Albanian Folk Dance
Let my words flow
And my actions show!
Please, take me
Into your warming
arms
And lift me up
To the immense skies
Where we will find
An eternal paradise!
Take my hands and
Let's dance together
To the rhythm of the
music
Being played by
other Angels
While the Moon and
the stars
Perplexed, fully
enjoy
This celestial party
hosted
By you and me only!
Let's tonight be
special
And after the party
is over,
Let's gather the
white clouds
And make a dreaming
bed
Where we would hug
and kiss,
Making love
passionately!
Let's make that
dream come true
Within the rhythm of
the night!
Romeo Della Valle
