	Traduzione italiana di Riccardo Venturi
BACH AT TREBLINKA	ODE A UN COMPOSITORE (BACH A TREBLINKA)

You’re one of us now, Johann,	Ora sei uno di noi, Johann,
You’re one of us now.	Sei uno di noi, ora.
Your statues stand but you,	I tuoi monumenti si ergono ;
Chained in your own score	Ma tu, incatenato al tuo spartito,
With me and many more,	Assieme a me e a molti altri
Dragged here to Treblinka,	Trascinato qui a Treblinka,
Dragged here to Treblinka,	Trascinato qui a Treblinka,
Where murder and music,	Dove l'assassinio e la musica,
Where murder and music	Dove l'assassinio e la musica
Go hand in hand.	Vanno mano per la mano.
