Stones
Giorgio Caproni . I have striven to speak. A tongue, perhaps, unknown. Sentences all wrong. The answers: only stones. . Translation ©Matilda Colarossi |

La traduzione in inglese sembra ancor più efficace e tagliente dell’originale. Complimenti vivissimi a Matilda!

Thank you, Paolo. This was my sixth version…I kept finding different poetic elements I just didn’t want to give up. The verse: ” Forse, ignoro la lingua” was a definite problem. Italian can be so beautifully concise!
