MERINI - LA LUNA S'APRE NEI GIARDINI DEL MANICOMIO

ITA/ENG


Alda Merini nel suo Studio
Alda Merini in her Studio

La luna s’apre nei giardini del manicomio,

qualche malato sospira,

mano nella tasca nuda.

La luna chiede tormento

e chiede sangue ai reclusi:

ho visto un malato

morire dissanguato

sotto la luna accesa.


 


THE MOON UNVEILS ITSELF IN THE MADHOUSE GARDENS



The moon unveils itself in the madhouse gardens,

some patients sigh,

a hand in the nude pocket.

The moon demands torments

and exacts blood of the inmates:

I have seen a patient

dying from shed blood

beneath the shining moon.
