Ad esempio a me piace... il sud [English translation]

For instance, I like the road,

its burnt green, perhaps when it's late,

darker spots with no dew,

with the prickly pears and thistles' thorns

For instance, I like seeing

the woman wearing black, eternally in mourn

on her doorstep, every evening

waiting for her husband coming back from the fields

But I don't know what I should do,

yes, I have to tell someone, but whom?

Should anyone ever understand,

it will certainly be another like me

For instance, I like stealing

ripe pears on the branches if I'm hungry,

but when I drink, I'm ready to pay

for water, which in that land is worth more than bread;

Walking with that farmer,

who perhaps happens to go the same way,

talking about grapes, talking about wine

which is still a luxury for him, and he's the one who makes it

But I don't know what I should do,

yes, I have to tell someone, but whom?

Should anyone ever understand,

it will certainly be another like me

For instance, I like, as a game,

kicking around a clod of dirt,

passing it to some children, who, around a fire,

sing, play games, play war

Then, I like discovering far away

the sea, if the sky is at dusk,

following the light of fishing lamps,

and once I'm at the beach, I like falling asleep

But I don't know what I should do,

yes, I have to tell someone, but whom?

Should anyone ever understand,

it will certainly be another like me
