Italian Poetry: Sadro Penna



From "Poesie" by S. Penna (Perugia 1906, Roma 1977).

Le nere scale della mia taverna
tu discendi tutto intriso di vento.
I bei capelli caduti tu hai
sugli occhi vivi in un mio firmamento
remoto.

Nella fumosa taverna
ora è l'odore del porto e del vento.
Libero vento che modella i corpi
e muove il passo ai bianchi marinai.

 

The steps of my tavern
you descend all drenched with wind.
The beautiful fallen hair you have
on the living eyes in a remote firmament
of mine.

In the smoken tavern
now is the smell of port and wind.
Free wind which models bodies
and moves the steps of white sailors.
