Po River
A drive in my sedan,
in front of the city, with me, Gianina,
tourists in Turin,
great view from up here.
We visited the galleries and the zoo,
admired the birches and the Po,
synagogues, hospital, museum, you name it.
By the Po River we stopped
to watch its swirling currents;
we played big games,
tried to spend the night.
By the Po River we stopped
to watch its swirling currents;
we chased fleeting desires
and slept in the car.
She made curious observations
about the inns and the alleys,
a brilliant conversation
about culture and religion.
Listening to Rubens, reading Pasolini,
Uderzo's script, Goscinny's drawings.
It's too early to head back to the hotel,
it started to rain.
By the Po River we stopped
to watch its swirling currents;
we played big games,
tried to spend the night.
By the Po River we stopped
to watch its swirling currents;
we chased fleeting desires
and slept in the car.
