	Traduzione inglese di John Willett in "Bertolt Brecht: Poems...
ALLA MIA PICCOLA RADIO	TO MY LITTLE RADIO

Tu piccolo trabiccolo, che mi sono portato fuggendo,	You little box I carried on that trip
Preoccupato che non mi si rompano le mie lampadine,	Concerned to save your works from getting broken
Dalla casa alla nave, dalla nave al treno,	Fleeing from house to train, from train to ship
Che i miei nemici continuino a parlarmi,	So I might hear the hated jargon spoken.
Accanto al mio letto ed alla mia pena,	Beside my bedside and to give me pain
L’ultima volta la notte, la prima sul presto,	Last thing at night, once more as dawn appears
Delle loro vittorie e delle mie preoccupazioni:	Shouting their victories and my worst fears:
Promettimi, che non resterai muto neanche una volta!	Promise at least you won't go dead again!
