'O PPARLA'  NAPULITANO
(Poesia napoletana declamata dall'autrice Carmen Auletta.
http://youtu.be/g5mxIicAWHw?hd=1

Faciteme parlà napulitano,
n'aggio bisogno proprio stammattina,
vaco scrivemmo sempre in italiano,
cercanno na parola fina fina.

Dich'io: ma tengo sta bella parlata
e ll'italiano a me nun m'accuntenta,
'a verità, me songo annammurata
'e chesta lengua chiena 'e sentimento.

V''o vvoglio dicere che a me, me piace,
sulo accusi dico chello ca sento
e scrivo mentre ' o core trova pace
sentennese leggiero p' 'o mumento.

Carmen Aueltta

ON SPEAKING IN DIALECT
Reading John Farris
http://youtu.be/g5mxIicAWHw?hd=1

Let me say it the Naples way...
This morning, I woke up, thinking how
speaking Italian everyday
I miss my point somehow...

I tell you, I have words so above
Italian only lets me down
Truth is, I am in love
with these feelings, this sound.

I insist that it pleases me more so --
it alone can express what's inside,
And as I write my heart is aglow,
For a moment I'm free, alight.

‘A MASCHERA
Oggi me sento proprio 'na munnezza,
vulesse almeno fà quaccosa 'e bbuono,
però si 'o ffaccio vene na schifezza
e me rummane sempe nu magone.

Vulesse stà nu poco cchiù cuntenta
ma faccio sulo finta ca sto' bbona
cercanno 'e fà felice 'a tutte quante,
dico 'e bbuscìe e nisciuno se n'addona.

E mò capisco pecchè 'o clown se mette
'a faccia bianca 'e gesso e fa 'o pagliaccio
ma tene 'na tristezza ca 'o fa a fette
e 'ncuorpo chiagne e 'a fora pare 'e ghiaccio.

THE MASK
Today I am just picking up dust.
O, to do even a bit of good! but
Everything I try turns to rust --
And a pit remains in my gut.

If only I could be of higher cheer!
Instead, I pretend I'm fine,
I try to make happy all far and near --
And no one can tell when I lie.

Now I understand why the clown goes
With painted face and smile all nice,
Even though he's sad, from his neck to toes --
And inside he cries -- just the outside is ice.

THE VIOLINIST's MESSAGE
As soon as I read this note,
'Carmen, get ready, I'm on my way
and you know what fun I have with my violin
I'm coming to Naples, playing it for you.'

These words really cheered me up
they shook me out of my melancholy
I really liked this message
it set my imagination on fire right away

Thinking of you, with your instrument in your hand
and all the musicians, in the middle of a little concert
I see you playing for me off in the distance
sweetly coming to me, to the sound of the violin

LET'S MAKE PEACE

I thought you were transparent,
now you even removed the greeting,
I pretend nothing happened,
but I don't like seeing you hangry.

Now, tell me how should I make peace with you,
apologies didn't work.
I didn't convince you yet,
the more I'm true and the more you are not trusting me.

This night I didn't sleep,
I closed my eyes and rested,
I dream to stay with you cuddled,
but I don't feel warmth in your arms.

You don't give up even to these words,
and yet they are a nice serenade.
Now tell me which excuse you will find
for keeping in being crossed with me.

Avvolta

come una piuma

dal soffio delle note,
la grandezza diviene

Mento al cielo,
palpebre chiuse,

come maestose
ali seguono
la scia del suono.

Cuore , mente, sensi,
racchiusi in un
armonioso involucro.
Così vicina a Dio,
voglio pregare.

MUSIC

Wrapped in his cloak,
like a feather
blown
by the breath of the notes,
the size becomes my robe.

Chin to the sky,
eyes closed,
my arms
like wings follow
in the wake of the majestic sound.

Heart, mind, senses,
enclosed in a smooth shell.
So close to God, I pray.

'A MUNNEZZA A NAPULE

 

Che t’aggio a dicere cumpagno mio,
io soffro troppo pe’ sta situazione,
tutt’ ‘e napulitane e nun sul' io.
Aspetto, comme a te , na soluzione.

E’ vero, simmo "oramaje" na barzelletta
pe ‘o munno ca ce stà a guardà a luntano.
Disprezzano sta Napule ch’è infetta.
Specie ‘a Camorra, ha criato stu pantano.

Pure ‘a politica , dice tu, c’entra,
eh si, d’ ‘a capa sempe puzza ‘o pesce,
me pare proprio ca nun se cuncentra,
nun fa na cosa bbona ca riesce.

E nuje personalmente, che facimmo?
Pe’ troppo tiempo , illusi simmo state.
‘A colpa, ognuno ‘e nuje pure‘a tenimmo,
ca bbuono, nun ce simmo cumpurtate.

E tu dice pecchè? Nuje che c’entrammo?
C’entrammo pecchè a ‘a gente malamente,
tutto ll’onore sempe nuje ce dammo.
Ce hanno corrotto ‘o core e pure ‘a mente.

GARBAGE IN NAPLES

 

What should I tell you, my friend,

I'm too much suffering from this situation,

every Neapolitan is and not me alone.

I'm waiting like you for a solution.

 

It's true, we became - by now - a joke

from the the far away watching world.

Despising this infected Neaple.

Camorra (racket) particularly created this marsh.

 

Even politics is involved, you say,

and yes, fish always stinks from the head,

it seems it is not focusing on this,

doesn't take an action eventually successful.

 

And what are we doing as each individual?

For too long time we have been deceived.

Each of us is at their own fault,

we didn't behave really good.

 

And you say why? What's our involvement with this?

We are involved because to the evil people,

we keep in giving honor.

They corrupted our heart and the mind too.

MARGARITA's LAMENT
I am a simple and gentle flower
and you always want to pick a fight.
You knew he was the kind to wander
but you said that you had him tight.

I told you right off the bat:
"That one will love you and leave."
But you didn't listen to that
and now you cry and grieve.

Now you're angry at me and I can't see
why everyday you question me!
"Does he love me, does he not?" Well--
why do you want to make my life hell

 THE SCENT OF LOVE
You sense  the air, speaking of summer,
Spreading the scent of ripe fruit.
 In the sun, the corn is golden yellow
Glimmering with a thousand shades.

 Butterflies darting to and fro.
Hover over the flowers
Fluttering  under a turquoise sky,
Delighting all of the children
that in the air would wish to fly.

 The colors of the elegant flowers
Speak to me of the scent of love,
In this aira of musical dance,
I linger  under the trees, among this concert

ON THE ROCK
(Poem read at ONU in New York)
How strange is this melancholy,
the heart, imprisoned into a rock,
tries to get rid of this sickness,
but has no strength, it's uncomforted

The wave dashes on this rock,
it comes and fades in as the thoughts do,
this white foam wets my soul,
talks to me as a counselor does

And with me is this voice of the sea
that calmed me little by little,
making me leave behind all the bitterness
that was preserved into my heart.

THE PAINTED FANTASY
I don't know if it appeared by magic,
if I have been there in a dream,
or if i have in mind a photograph--
but I have never forgotten it since.

It is a strange place, a little house
Almost hidden by a church in rose.
There is a sea where a little boat
is at rest, its oars slack, in repose.

Then one morning, when I awoke,
This image remained in my mind,
Strange to say, but it happened just so--
My brushes have a will of their own.

I sit down at the easel,
the colors select themselves,
and I know not by what guide
the painter's art appears.

The canvas is happy and dry,
All prettied and dressed to go.
All it needs is a frame--
Like a necklace to adorn its fame.

THE BOAT
For a fantasy voyage I step on board
To take a load off my mind
Where I sail is of no import--
I go to be alone and in kind.

Ah, how my mind flails,
It doesn't know whence it came!
But if it embarks on pretty sails,
its fears slowly begin to wane.

I don't yet know where I shall land
but truly hope that while I sail
I shall see things to make me glad
since life on shore is much travail

COSE NOVE
Ll’uocchie poso ‘ncopp’ a sta rena ‘nfosa,
me ‘ncanta ‘o mare ca  sempe va e vene,
trasporta cose scavanno pertose
pure a stu core ca nun po’ fa bene.

E comme a ll’onna ca s’aggrappa  ‘a rena
e vene  trascinata ancora a  mare,
songh’io ca  ‘ncatenata a chesta pena ,
 cerco ‘e truvà penzieri  meno amari.

So’ ccose nove ca contano ll’onne,
 ‘o mare ‘e ddice doppo na tempesta,

purtanneme nu poco d’aria ‘e festa.

NEW THINGS
I pass my gaze over the wet sand
Absorbed by the sea that comes and goes
Carrying things that burrow holes
Drilling into this heart, and that does no good. 

Like the waves that get hold of the sand
And get carried back out to sea
So am I, chained to this great pain
In search of less bitter thoughts.

The waves tell of new things
The sea speaks of them after the storm
And now it's calm, it wakes me with its sound
Bringing me a little bit of party in the  breeze

A WICKED HAND
Like a picture, my life has been
painted in the best of colors
all the lovely moments of this life
have been imprinted with a brush.

And I was bewitched, every day
with brush strokes, ever more fine
I wanted to paint every moment
beginning first thing in the morning.

"Wow, how nice it is,' people would say,
'This painting, done with such finesse
and so precisely taken from life,
It's a really lovely work of art.'

And yet, my love, I wonder
why this wicked hand of yours
has so badly damaged this picture
and ruined my whole life!

A FISHER'S LOVE

Carmenella stands at the window looking out,
Her heart beats for a lobster fisherman,
Longing to see him for at least one hour.


With the sea in his  eyes and skin,
Yet stunned by this passionate love,
The fisherman waits for Carmenella,
Desiring  to go over the tossing waves.


A breeze carries the smell of the sea,
Pregnant with  this love that is sincere,
The music of sailors from afar, sing of thoughts of love.


And slowly rocks the cradle of love,
gently caressing  the wake,
you sleep tight, heart to heart, hoping to meet,
even in a dream.

I AM A DOLL
 Her mother always told that girl,
'If you settle for the first to turn your head,
you mustn't be surprised at all
if you go off him, once you're wed.

You have a pretty doll's face dear,
rich men will want to win you from the rest,
so now's the time to put your brain into gear,
and see how you can profit best.'

The daughter, who thought just the same,
said, 'I know that I'm a honey,
whenever some guy tries his game,
first I'll check if he's got money.'

A doll has eyes but cannot see,
and deaf, she sinks into the hole
fooled by the riches possessed, she
doesn't know she's damned her soul

THE ALLEY
I can't help it, I can't do a thing
To see this place makes my heart wring
Maybe I'm strange, but I can't be glad
Seeing this alley makes me sad

And that alley, I recall
It was my home when I was small
I played in peace and harmony
With all the other kids like me

I get a lump in my throat, if I go there now,
right where there's still that great atmosphere
when we never missed a chance
to have some games and fun

And sometimes I'll wander down that street
And think of the follks that I used to meet
And it makes me feel blue, when I see
What runs through my head and my memory

CHILDREN OF NAPLES
Children  who have  lost  their innocence,
they meet in their thousand in the city,
living in great pain
and we  pretend of not to see.

We must cure this sickness of Naples,
which is within the eyes of these children,
a  look of beaten and flayed hopes,
the misery takes hold of them by the hair.

The real school teaches the way,
work or go to steal,
you find them also in the suburbs,
where the Gang of thieves comes to exploit them.

The world sees them in postcards,
because they are  folklore, they are beautiful,
but together with the pizza and  mandolin,
they do not speak of the suffering of Naples.

CORE SCURO

Pecchè tengo stu core accussì scuro?
Tengo ‘e mutive pe sta’ pure allera!
Sarrà pecchè penso sempe ‘o futuro
e al mio passato che era “quel che era”?

M’aregno ‘a capa ‘e tutte sti ccanzone
e pare ca me passa ‘a malincunia,
m’accorgo  ch’è sultanto n’ illusione,
doppo nu poco me torna ‘a nustalgia.

E menu male, io sempe me ripiglio,
c‘a vita è bella pure cu ‘a sofferenza
e si ce sta n’ora bona, io m’ha piglio,
e accetto sempe ‘o mmale cu  pacienza!
 
Carmen Auletta

 

English translation by Salahzar Stenvaag

SAD HEART

 

I want to know why my heart is sad,

I have the motivation to be even happy!

Maybe it's because I always think on future

and on my beautiful past.

 

I'm filling my head with songs,

and it seems like I'm winning the gloom.

I acknowledge it is just an illusion,

after a while nostalgy comes back.

 

Good thing that I soon recover,

because life is wonderfule even with suffering

and if the good moment arrives, I'll catch it,

and the bad one, I accept it with patience!

WHITE MOON

 

Come in, White Moon,

let's see how bright are you

don't tell me "I'm tired"

we need you right now

 

Go away Black Moon

you don't suit these two

meeting this night

to know love.

 

You can feel on the skin

the smell of the passion,

stars are partying too

protecting Love.

 

White Moon where did you go?

Even the Sun is saying

to not loose minutes,

these two are suffering.

 

Go away Black Moon

they don't want you at this party

if you don't go away now

all the Sky will reject you.

NA PAROLA

 

E ancora chiove , chiove tutte ‘e juorne,

stu cielo è niro e pure ll’aria manca.

Nun me rassegno ca tu chiù nun tuorne

e tengo nu dulore ca me sfianca.

 

Vulesse mò na cosa sulamente,

nu squillo 'e campaniello fora ‘a porta,

me serve p’allevià chistu mumento,

ch'è nu supplizio ca nun se supporta.

 

Tutt’è pparole ca nun t’aggio ditto

l’aggio astipate cu nu catenaccio,

e nu tesoro ncoppa ‘a mappa scritto

tenevo dint’ ‘o core sotto ‘o ghiaccio.

 

E mò che me ne faccio ' e stu tesoro,

si po' ll’ammore mio nun l’ha saputo.

Stu bbene che valeva più dell'oro,

l'aggio capito mò ca se n'è ghiuto.

 

Carmen Auletta

English translation by  ‎Salahzar Stenvaag

A SINGLE WORD

 

It's still raining, it rains everyday,

sky is black and I'm missing air

I don't give up that you won't come back

I feel a pain that is wearing me out.

 

I just wished only a thing.

A bell ring at my door,

to soothe this moment,

it's a torture no one can stand

 

 All the words I didn't tell you,

I close them with a bolt,

and like a treasure on a written map,

I kept them under ice in my heart.

 

What should I do with this treasure,

if my Love never knew.

This good more worthy than gold,

I just understood now that it is gone.
