It's Italian - Torre's Heritage Blog
Discovering Poetry
published: Monday August 06th, 2012A little poem about my personal discovery of poetry in both English and Italian....
in English:
Discovering Poetry
When I was very young
I would listen to my Aunts and Uncles
During family gatherings.
I was American, I spoke English
I did not know the Italian language
I did not know the use and context of words.
I knew only the form of sentences,
The ripple of the syllables,
Concluding in voluptuous vowels.
Normal speach sounded
Like poetry dancing with laughter
And clothed in beautiful mystery.

And in Italian:
Si prega di commentare. Come sta il mio italiano? Orribile?
Alla Scoperta Della Poesia
Quando ero molto giovane
Vorrei ascoltare i miei zii e le zie
Durante le riunioni di famiglia.
Sono stato americano, ho parlato inglese
Non sapevo la lingua italiana, non sapevo
Che l'uso e il contesto delle parole.
Sapevo che solo la forma delle frasi,
L'ondulazione delle sillabe,
Concludendo in vocali voluttuoso.
Discorso normale suonava
Come la poesia ballando con
Risate e vestiti di bella araba.
by Torre DeVito
Let me know how good the translation is, it may not be perfect, but it's Italian!
