Im Winter

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CHI ENG FRE ITA

Der Acker leuchtet weiß und kalt.
Der Himmel ist einsam und ungeheuer.
Dohlen kreisen über dem Weiher
Und Jäger steigen nieder vom Wald.

Ein Schweigen in schwarzen Wipfeln wohnt.
Ein Feuerschein huscht aus den Hütten.
Bisweilen schellt sehr fern ein Schlitten
Und langsam steigt der graue Mond.

Ein Wild verblutet sanft am Rain
Und Raben plätschern in blutigen Gossen.
Das Rohr bebt gelb und aufgeschossen.
Frost, Rauch, ein Schritt im leeren Hain.

In inverno

Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)

Irradia luce il campo bianco e freddo.
Il cielo è solitario ed  infinito.
Volano in tondo tordi sullo stagno
e cacciatori ritornano dal bosco.                   

Regna il silenzio sopra le nere cime.
Guizza dalle capanne un riflesso di fuochi.
In distanza, talvolta, tintinna una slitta
e lenta si solleva, grigia, la luna.

Selvaggina, sul ciglio, si dissangua piano
sguazzano corvi  in gore di sangue.
Alto e giallo oscilla al vento il canneto.
Gelo, fumo, un' orma nel bosco deserto.
