Versi di WANG Mengren Tradotti in Italiano da Zairo Ferrante – Verses of WANG Mengren Translated into Italian by Zairo Ferrante
Principio d’autunno
I raggi di luce si consumano senza scaldare
e si allontanano da un crepuscolo disordinato.
L’oscurità che non ho raggiunto
è colma di buona volontà
Passeggio lentamente al tramonto
un’alito caldo danza nel vento autunnale,
a volte,
abbastanza leggero .
Mi sdraio in un luogo senza poesia
a cercare l’essenza dell’essere solo.
Ma guardo in avanti.
Ora, tutto è più chiaro.
L’immensa solitudine è la mia casa.
L’azzurro del cielo sta passando
ma l’ombra non riuscirà a prendermi.
In quest’angolo di fine
sostenuto dalla terra.
Scoperta
Per quanto l’occhio possa correre e
contare attentamente le albe e i tramonti,
la poesia sarà sempre gocce di rugiada sui fili d’erba.
È come raccogliere, poco a poco,
a poco, l’arcobaleno che sfugge.
È il caldo sorriso di settembre.
Come fiori eterei di un’anima,
uno ad uno, sparsi nel cielo.
Ed io, esterrefatto, dinanzi all’albero di fiori di maggio.
Come chi ascolta la sua anima.
Improvvisamente schiudo gli occhi
e comincio a guardare, sereno,
e la strada, da lontano, s’illumina.

The Goodwill of Autumn
The rays of light which is burning without irradiation
Have shaken off the disordered dusk
The darkness which I have not reached
Is suffused with goodwill
Slowly walks dusk
A warm current runs through autumn wind
Sometimes
Quite light and slight
I lie in a place without poetry
To feel the force of seclusion
Driving forward
Now, clearness is the immense solitude
In my habitat
The sky-blue has been left
The shadow has been left nowhere to catch
In the corner of dusk
To support my field
Discovery
As far as the eye can reach
Carefully counting sunrises and sunsets
Poetry is always dewdrops on the blades of grass
How to gather bit by bit
The hidden rainbow
The hearty laugh of September
How like the ethereal flowers in the soul
One by one scattering in the sky
I am surprised under the huge tree of may flowers
The feelers of feeling
Are suddenly with drapery
Leisurely looking and watching
To brighten the way far ahead
Naked Stone
The wind has concealed a lot of my obtuseness
History has not been desolate
The sky hangs a bit low
A lonely tree is protruding
Into a naked stone without cover
Dormant hopes
Have been the scenery drawn by winter on the future
The temporary dawn
Bounteously reveals the nature of a poet
In a name
Hidden is the universal gravitation
To draw the world
To examine again
Time is mottled
Raging are the winds & rains which dare not read
A person bound for oceangoing voyage
With wine and poetry from day to day
Burns perilous waves and the setting sun
(Translated by ZHANG Zhizhong)
