Julio Pavanetti: Transito e Battaglie in tre lingue

Poeta uruguyano, vive in Spagna

Ha fondato il "Liceo Poético de Benidorm"

TRANSITO                       

Allodola stremata ,

solcando tunnel di assenza,

io cammino alla ricerca delle strade

che il dolore non ha calpestato.

Mordo il tempo

come il prudente Ulisse,

con passi lenti e brevi

che non risuonano oramai con furia,

sul pavimento

del mio lungo viaggio verso Ítaca.

Non voglio ricordare il fulgore

delle candele spente per le tempeste,

preferisco avvicinarmi alla luce calda

di quelle che rimangono accese.

Con un piede nel paradiso

ed un altro nell'inferno,

mi muovo lentamente

tra monotone pioggerelline

che scivolano sulla mia anima,

come l'eco nella montagna

cerca il transito verso il silenzio.

Traduzione nella lingua italiana dell' autore

TRÁNSITO

        

Alondra estremecida,

surcando túneles de ausencia,

yo ando en busca de los caminos

que el dolor no ha pisado.

Muerdo el tiempo

igual que el prudente Ulises,

con pasos lentos y cortos

que ya no resuenan con furia,

sobre el pavimento

de mi largo viaje a Ítaca.

No quiero recordar el fulgor

de las velas apagadas

por las tempestades,

prefiero acercarme a la luz cálida

de las que permanecen erguidas.

Con un pie en el paraíso

y otro en el infierno,

me muevo despacio

entre monótonas garúas

que resbalan por mi alma,

como el eco en la montaña

busca el tránsito al silencio.

TRANSIT

Lark exhausted,

furrowing tunnel of absence,

I walk in search of the roads

that pain has not stepped on.

I bite the time

like the prudent Ulysses,

with slow and short steps

that do not resound with fury now,

on the floor

of my long journey to Ítaca.

I don't want to remember the radiance

Of candles extinguished for storms,

I prefer to approach the warm light

of those that remain lit.

With one foot in paradise

and another one in hell,

I move slowly

between monotonous drizzle

that slip on my soul,

like the echo in the mountain

Looks a transit to the silence.

BATTAGLIE                     

La nostra vita

è una grande collezione

di battaglie perse.

Ogni tanto qualche trionfo

privo di sensi ed effimero,

una breve gioia,

ci fa dimenticare,

solo per un momento,

che quello che predomina sempre

sono le battute d'arresto

che accadono, una dietro l'altro,

come un lungo preambolo

fino all'ultima sconfitta,

conclusiva e infinita.

Traduzione in  lingua italiana dell’l'autore

BATALLAS

Nuestra vida no es más

que una gran colección

de batallas perdidas.

Cada tanto algún triunfo

despistado y efímero,

una alegría breve,

consigue que olvidemos

sólo por un instante,

que lo que predomina

siempre son los reveses

que se van sucediendo,

uno detrás de otro,

como un largo preámbulo

a la derrota última,

concluyente e infinita.

BATTLES

Our life

is a great collection

of lost battles.

Sometimes a triumph

unconscious and ephemeral,

a short joy,

let us forget,

just for a moment,

that what always predominates

are the setbacks

which happen, one after the other,

like a long preamble

to the last defeat,

conclusive and infinite.

translated by Claudia Piccinno
