| La mamma
di Ada Negri
.
.
La mamma non è più giovane
e ha già molti capelli
grigi: ma la sua voce è squillante
di ragazzetta e tutto in lei è chiaro
ed energico: il passo, il movimento,
lo sguardo, la parola |
Mother
by Ada Negri
.
Mother is no longer young
and much of her hair
is grey: but her voice is as bubbly
as a young girl’s and everything about her
is light and energetic: her step, her movements
her eyes, her words
.
