OriginalEnglish translation by Riccardo Venturi
CONSIDERO VALOREI SEE AS A VALUE
Considero valore ogni forma di vita, la neve, la fragola, la mosca.
Considero valore il regno minerale, l’assemblea delle stelle.
Considero valore il vino finché dura il pasto, un sorriso involontario,
la stanchezza di chi non si è risparmiato, due vecchi che si amano.
Considero valore quello che domani non varrà più niente
e quello che oggi vale ancora poco.
I see as a value any form of life, snow, a strawberry, a fly.
I see as a value the mineral kingdom, the assembly of stars.
I see as a value the wine during mealtime, an involuntary smile,
The tiredness of those who have never spared themselves, an old couple still in love.
I see as a value what won't be of any worth tomorrow and what is still of little worth today.
Considero valore tutte le ferite.
Considero valore risparmiare acqua, riparare un paio di scarpe,
tacere in tempo, accorrere a un grido, chiedere permesso prima di sedersi,
provare gratitudine senza ricordare di che.
I see as a value all kinds of wounds.
I see as a value sparing water, repairing a pair of shoes,
Keeping quiet in due time, rushing to a cry of help, asking permission before sitting down,
Feeling grateful though not remembering why.
Considero valore sapere in una stanza dov’è il nord,
qual è il nome del vento che sta asciugando il bucato.
Considero valore il viaggio del vagabondo, la clausura della monaca,
la pazienza del condannato, qualunque colpa sia.
I see as a value knowing inside a room where is the north,
The name of the wind that is drying the laundry.
I see as a value the roving of a tramp, the seclusion of a nun,
The patience of a prisoner, whatever his fault may be.
Considero valore l’uso del verbo amare e l’ipotesi che esista un creatore.
Molti di questi valori non ho conosciuto.
I see as a value the use of the verb to love and the possible existence of a creator.
I have never known many of these values.
