Goodbye, have good sea in the moonlight
Una volta sognai
di essere una tartaruga gigante
con scheletro d’avorio
che trascinava bimbi e piccini e alghe
e rifiuti e fiori
e tutti si aggrappavano a me,
sulla mia scorza dura.
Ero una tartaruga che barcollava
sotto il peso dell’amore
molto lenta a capire
e svelta a benedire.
Così, figli miei,
una volta vi hanno buttato nell’acqua
e voi vi siete aggrappati al mio guscio
e io vi ho portati in salvo
perché questa testuggine marina
è la terra
che vi salva
dalla morte dell’acqua.
Alda Merini
"Una volta sognai" Parole per Lampedusa
I once dreamed
to be a giant turtle
with ivory skeleton
that dragged children and children and algae
and waste and flowers
and they all clung to me,
on my hard skin.
I was a staggering turtle
under the weight of love
very slow to understand
and quick to bless.
Thus, my children,
once they threw you in the water
and you have clung to my shell
and I have brought you to safety
because this sea turtle
is the earth
that saves you
from the death of water.
