Текст и перевод песни Franco Battiato - Le Aquile

Le Aquile

Il vento gonfiava le mie vesti
Di veramente stabile erano le mie scarpe nere
Alle caviglie ortopediche.
Un tempo passavo ore in palestra
Continuai a inseguirla per inerzia.
La vidi stagliarsi tra alberi e cielo
E dopo un piccolo volo
Camminare monca e rapida
Avrete anche voi visto
Camminare le aquile.

Fleur Jaeggy, "Statue d′acqua"

The Eagles

The wind was billowing my clothes
Truly stable were my black shoes
With orthopedic ankles.
In the past I would spend hours in the gym
I continued to pursue it out of inertia.
I saw her standing out against the trees and sky
And after a short flight
Walking maimed and quickly
You too must have seen
Eagles walk.

Fleur Jaeggy, "Water Statues"
