A LONGING : Italian/ English

'NA MALINCONIA

Mi viene mo’ ‘na malIiconia
'na voglia forte e profonda
Come un Incanto spietato
di fantasmi che s’aggirano
attorno a me.
e mi porta ad un altro sogno.

Voglio tornare a casa.
vedere un solo momento
con tutti i cuori che
battevono uno
e che no battono di piu’

LONGING

I have a longing sharp and deep
a haunting unforgiving and clear
that bleeds my “soul”
and brings me to another dreaming.

I want to go home again.
If just one moment more
as it all was then
where hearts beat as one
that beat no more.

Comments

I hear an Australian Aborigine song about The Dreamtime,
they are distinctly fond of their ancestors and their wails
as those of all in trouble are heard.

This I like too Joe.

"The image of yourself which you see in a mirror Is dead,
but the reflection of the moon on water, lives." Kenzan.

I have heard much the same among Icelanders --the "hintervölker"
