"Warning" by Jenny Joseph.
"When I'm old I'll wear purple
with a red hat that does not match and does not give me.
Sperpererò retirement in brandy and summer gloves
satin sandals, and said that I did not stay to buy butter.
I'll sit on the pavement when I'm tired
sgraffignerò champions will play the bells in the shops and
will pour my stick on the railings of I truccherò
buildings to rescue the green years of sobriety.
will come out in flip-flops in the rain
gather flowers in the gardens of others and learn to spit.
You can wear terrible shirts and grease
eat three pounds of sausages at one time or
only bread and pickles for a week
hoard pens, pencils, coasters and junk in boxes.
Unfortunately now we have to dress to keep you dry and
pay the rent and not swear in the street
and set a good example for their children.
have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But I can not practice your already a little 'now? So who I
not know will be shocked when they suddenly grow old, and dress in purple.
(translation by Loredana Magazzeni)
