Cançó
de La Bella Confiança
A l'amat he donades
totes les claus;
jo tinc totes les seves,
i fem les paus.
Però resta una cambra
al fons del fons
on entrar no podríem
ni breus segons.
Tantes forces ocultes,
tants pensaments
allà dins són escàpols a tots
moments!
Bé seria debades
sotjar-hi un poc:
l'aldarull colpiria
més que no un roc.
Contentem-nos d'una ombra
o d'un ressò.
Que ell es digui els seus comptes
com me'ls duc jo.

Canzone dell’Affidare Bello
All’amato ho donate
tutte le chiavi;
io tengo tutte le sue,
e facciamo pause.
Però resta una stanza
al fondo del fondo
dove entrare non potremo
neanche un breve secondo.
Tante forze nascoste,
tanti pensamenti
fuggono là tutti
i momenti!
Ben sarebbe vano
forzare un poco:
il rumore colpirebbe
più che una roccia.
Contentiamoci di un’ombra
o di un eco.
Che si tenga i suoi conti
come io i miei.
Song
of the Beautiful Trust

Translated by A.Z. Foreman
I’ve
given my lover
all my keys,
and I have got his
and we are at peace.
But there’s still one room
where deep things begin,
and not for one second
dare we go in.
So many a musing
and secret power
flee into it with each
passing hour!
It isn't worth it
to pry at the lock:
the uproar would blast you
harder than rock.
The echos and shadows
will do just fine.
Let him keep his accounts
and I’ll keep mine.
