Italian Poetry: Giuseppe Ungaretti



From "L'Allegria" by G. Ungaretti (Alessandria d'Egitto 1888, Milano 1970).

"Wake."

A whole night
thrown near
a massacred
companion
with his mouth
sneering
facing the whole moon
with the congestion
of his hands
penetrating
my silence
I have written
letters full of love

I have never been
attached to life
so much

 

 
"Veglia."

Un'intera nottata
buttato vicino
a un compagno
massacrato
con la sua bocca
digrignata
volta al plenilunio
con la congestione
delle sue mani
penetrata
nel mio silenzio
ho scritto
lettere piene d'amore

Non sono mai stato
tanto
attaccato alla vita
