[Eccoti scarlatta primavera]

Eccoti scarlatta primavera
vieni e soccorri prima che ritorni
la tenèbra notte
a riaprire la memoria, a trattenere
l'assenso, fioco, al germogliare

e fosse solo pure
di quiete begonie domestiche.

[There you are scarlet spring]

There you are scarlet spring
come and help
before the night's darkness returns
to reopen the mind, to hold back
the weak consent to the germination

and if it was only
the silent domestic begonias.
